Answer
HI HELEN
I FEEL WALKING UP HILLS DAILY IS SO HARD ON THE BACK AND MUSCLES THAN JUST POWER WALKING DAILY.  MY DAUGHTER POWER WALKS DAILY 4 MILES IN EARLY MORNING.  SHE IS VERY FIT.
TAKE AS LARGE OF STEPS AS U CAN AND AS FAST AS U CAN AND SWING YOUR ARMS AND HEAD UP WALK.  IF U HIT A SMALL HILL THAT IS OK, BUT I DO NOT THINK WALKING HILLS CONSTANTLY IS NOT SO GOOD AT YOUR AGE.  IT IS HARD ON JOINTS, ETC.

CAN U DRINK ORANGE JUICE, LOTS OF WATER IS GREAT, BANANAS ARE GOOD.  BAKED POTATOES ARE GOOD, COTTAGE CHEESE, YUGURT.  TOAST, APPLESAUCE, RICE.
HOPE YOU GET WELL AND THIS HELPS SOME.?
