Yikes! That's just unreasonable. His own well being is important. It took me a long time to learn that.

It's a hard lesson, but at 61, he needs to learn it! He's home but has had to get up from bed twice already due to cramps in his legs.

I empathize hard with that. Keeping well hydrated and well-magnesiumed enough are my daily challenges, and when I fail on either, the cramps at night go from mildly annoying to absolutely excruciating and also hourly. Shudder.

His legs are so huge that the cramps are horrific. I was all out punching his legs (per his request) to help get him where he could stand up. After he was able to walk off the last bout I told him it was nature's way of saying not to work 30 hours straight, on your feet. And I won't hesitate to remind him the next time he goes past 12 or so hours.

I just stalked Jesse on the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament board, so I will brag on her behalf -- she finished top third (!) again, AND at a higher rank by 10 slots against 100 more people this year than last.
Kudos, Jesse!!

yeah, wow, good for Jesse! My legs are tight so leg cramps can be a real part of my life.

I haven't found an effective way to stop them yet. No fun for sure.
