Overexertion

I drove to Chicago this past week for another hearing on my late father’s loss of leg lawsuit due to nursing home neglect. It was an overexertion as usual, and it seems to take me longer to recover each time. In addition to the usual deep aching caused by overexertion, this time my nerves were strangely jangled, even several days later. What on earth causes that? My case files (≈ 35 pounds) are now too heavy to lift in and out of the wire cart that I have been using, so in a pique I left them at home, and this drew exasperation from the Judge as I am required to produce from these documents for his review. If I cannot carry the case file, how can I prosecute the case? The answer is I cannot. I used to be light on my feet dancing, now I am light-headed and passing out whenever I am on my feet talking. Therefore, today I bought a silver and black Lumex Rollator*, which is a rolling walker/chair, to carry my case files and sto eat me. It is difficult for me to comprehend, but I am truly elderly.
