======================
-> -> Scoliosis? My freshman year college room mate had that, with total
-> -> spinal fusion surgery. She told me she was in a body cast for a year,
-> -> flat on her back and did her junior year of high school via a 2 way
-> -> radio box.
-> 
->  RH> I'm not sure if it's the same thing. These days they just brace
that
->  RH> too.
-> 
-> OK, this was more years ago than I'd like to think about.
-> 
I have a few of those stories too.  A bronze cat necklace always elicits 
questions, and I have to admit I bought the thing new...35 years ago.(LOL)
It was a fundraiser for an African missionary. 
 
-> -> 6-12 months will be he hardest part. It means I'll have to do all the
-> -> major reaching & bending for both of us.
-> 
->  RH> That's going to be "fun" too.
-> 
-> Hopefully I'll stay limber enough to do things for Steve. The fun part
-> will be getting stuff off upper or lower shelves in the kitchen. Lower
-> ones I'll probably have to sit on the floor, then get myself up without
-> his helping hand. Upper ones will mean the step stools. Good thing
-> summer's coming on so I won't have to tie shoes. (G) We've arrainged for
-> a neighborhood kid to do yard work for us, a big help.

Get a second grab stick?  I have one here too since step stools are now my 
enemies. I can usually reach everything, but some stuff all the way in the 
back defeats me. 
 
->  RH> Now that sounds like it might be good.  The stuff from the 
supermarket
->  RH> grosses me out.
-> 
-> I had a right fair amount of it as a kid--on white bread, with butter at
-> first, then my mom wised up and started putting mustard on it. Made it a
-> bit more palatable but a slice of cheese would have helped.

I'm told fried bologna is actually pretty good.  
 
->  RH> Amen.  And at least yours is calibrated correctly.
-> 
-> Haven't figured out how to do Fido on it yet & he's not put Solitare on
-> (yet) but it's got a lot of bells & whistles.

You could do what I do - log directly into Doc's over a web browser.
 
->  RH> I've been in a few of the kitchens.  Everything was stainless, and
->  RH> designed to just be hosed down as needed.
-> 
-> Interesting--made clean up easy. (G)
-> 
Definitely.  They were also postage stamps, otherwise I'd want one of them 
here!  Hot as all get-out in the summer though.  
 
-> -> My newspaper would be on my lap, with the cat on top of it.
-> 
->  RH> Louise prefers it on the table.
-> 
-> She'd have to change her ways then to read it while I was reading it.
-> Steve spreads it on the table tho.

I pick up pieces to read it, so that I can see the print with my glasses 
off.  The remaining paper is cat bait.
 
-> -> Ouch! My sympathies. I did some major moving of boxes in my sewing 
room
-> 
->  RH> Pretty much.  I'm a lot number even than usual.  Just try doing 
stairs
->  RH> like that.  Better yet, don't.
-> 
-> Time for a rice bag or two?
-> 
One yes, but heat makes MS worse.  
 
->  RH> Could be.  The weather lately can't have been helping either.
-> 
-> Could be. But the sloppy joes were a big hit at Life Group today. Cooked
-> it stove top yesterday afternoon, then transferred it to the crock pot
-> liner which we put in the church fridge until this morning. Pulled it
-> out, put it in the crock pot to heat until after morning worship. Served
-> it with chips, baby carrots & dip and ice cream & cookies.

Ice cream.  Cookies.  Sounds good to me!
