In 2013, I was 55 and living life to the fullest. I had 2 Grandsons and my Daughter was expecting a little girl. We live on close to 8 acres. I was mowing, gardening and swimming with my youngest Grandson. I noticed that was feeling a little tired but assumed that as hard as I was working and with my age that was pretty normal.
My Granddaughter was due in December and I was excitedly planning a baby shower, helping my elderly Aunt move and starting to prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I began to notice that my back was hurting quite a bit and that my feet and legs were swelling and really painful. Of course I would lay down or put my feet up and they would go back down but the pain was still pretty bad.
