Cured my arthritic hip pain... had a replacement. :-)
Now, as predicted,  other hip beginning to hurt. :-(

I'll get back to you, Jo. I'll try to call Paul 2 morrow. If not the next
day. :-)

Squish Hugs from Rosie

SJ, I am doing well these day; can't really complain about a thing.  And
Jason is doing well also.  He has his power chair that was made for him; he
and his dad came up with ideas to make it better for him.  They put a heavy
plastic shelf across the chair arms to make a table for him, with a small
hole in it for him to put a long, small mouthpiece through to use on his
computer on the top of the table.  He also has voice control over his
computer at home..  He looks good except he is pale; he was always tanned
because he worked outside a lot.  Our church moved a small organ that was
inside the sanctuary so he has room for his chair, and he comes to church
every Sunday.  The van was built expecially for him and he goes up the ramp
like a pro, turns the chair and rolls up to the front passenger side, and
the chair is locked in.  Some adult friends drove him to the church college
and career basketball game the last two Monday nights.  He still has the
best spirit to have gone through all he has, and the family seems to be
doing very well also.  Thanks for asking.

I'm lurking. Still recovering from what has now been confirmed by MRI a
MS attack.  Fighting with doctors for PT and OT as I'm not sure I'm
using my new equipment the right way and I'm still very weak and
unstable on my feet. DianeW

Thank you for asking.

The Seasonal Affective Disorder is as it is. Good some days. Worse others.

Great News about Alex - He was able to resume school this week!!!!! It's
been just over 5 months since the accident. He wears braces on his legs, but
refuses the crutches. He is blind in one eye. But he is back at school,
playing in the school band, and participating in most of his old activities.

Isn't it amazing!!!

Thumb's coming along.  Still weak on grip strength and pinch strength, but
improving slowly & surely.  Skin still sensitive, but also improving.  All in
all  - progress is quite satisfactory.  I even did my exercises with my 5 lb
dumbbells yesterday.  It was the first time I dared to try holding them.

Meanwhile, the DH was picked up by an older kitten last Thursday eve - a
shivering, starving soul trying to get into the church during choir practice.
Even though we are dog people, he's too tender eharted to leave it there.  
Brought it home to feed it for a few days until we found a home for it or
took it to the shelter (ours here are no-kill shelters).  You guessed it -
very affectionate kitten and by Sunday he'd decided we had to keep it/she -
we think.  Of course, Mike was quite busy over the weekend, so the first few
days of cat parenting fell to me.  She's kept me too tired to type much, or
even sit at the computer much!  Mike's done more toady though and it helps.  
We seem to finally be getting enough food in her.

got a reply to something I forwarded a few days ago.  She was about to send
her PC back to HP for the third time since Jan. and said Carole's been having
the same problem with hers!

Oh Char: How are you and Myron doing these days?

SJ-Thanks for thinking of us. I now have a home health aid, who comes
in 3X a week to help me with a bath, washing my hair, and that sort of
thing.  I also have a PT that comes to house a couple of days a week.
I will be getting a hospital bed, with side rails, which should help me
get into and out of the bed more easily.  All of this is covered under
insurance, either private or Medicare.  What one doesnt cover the other
does.  So I am feeling much more positive than I have for a long time.
Myron is hanging in there.  He says he wold marry me again, even
knowing what was ahead for us.  That is called love and devotion.  I am
a lucky woman.
