Hello Dennis and welcome to ASA.  It does seem as though you know Gwen from the
alzheimers group but I certainly can't figure out if this is a cool joke among
two friends or if this has a semi aggressive tone.  If this is an in joke
thing, accept my apologies and, again, welcome to ASA.  If it is the other,
we'll need to talk.

By the way, what kind of arthritis do you have or are you just dropping by for
information?

Melinda

I wanted to tell you that I got a note from Cush saying that you were his
favorite doctor and all the help you have given him with his busted ankle.
He said that I was so ornery that TB did not stand a chance with all the hot
air I put out.
LOL ,,, he may be right.

Melinda,

Meg wears a size 4?   Why that is absolutely petite!

I actually always wore a size 10 wide for the majority of my teen and
adult years, and would have gladly bought those shoes in your closet
from you if I could have.  

It has only been since I broke my foot and then the RA got worse that I
ended up having to move to much larger size shoes. I got to the point
where even an 11 wide in ladies didn't fit.   They seemed like they got
shorter or something.   My big toe would be literally pushing at the end
of the shoe.   I now have to wear a size 11 EE in a mans shoe.
Sometimes when my foot and ankle really swell up, even the double EE is
tight on my foot!  I know, that is horrendous and like I said, probably
the biggest foot of any female on this group or that anyone knows!   I
haven't yet tried wearing a size 12 in a ladies shoe.   I just get so
frustrated with having to buy a mans shoe to fit me.   Haven't worn a
dress or dressy shoes in several years.   Don't even know if I could
ever find anything to fit my big clodhoppers!   The one thing that is
nice, though, is that michiga does have a very nice shoe store in bay
city that sells shoes literally from like a size 4 AAAAA to like a size
18-20 EEEEE.   It is a wonderful store to shop in as they always treat
you like royalty when you are there and their prices really aren't that
much out of range of a good shoe store.   They also send lots of
catalogs through the mail so you can mail order as well.   I love that
place and try to get there at least once every year or two.   I buy alot
of my shoes from the catalog since I like new balance brand and that
brand has always fit me the best.   They are expensive, but well worth
every cent in my opinion!!!

Just wonderful.  He's been back at work for 2 weeks now.  His company
put him at a desk job since he can't climb ladders right now. (He's a
process tech at a chemical plant)  When his balance gets better,
they'll put him back on the unit.  They've been great, because they
knew our full pay was ending 11-30 and they had a desk job for him
starting 12-1.  They let him off on the days he has brain injury
therapy, which is only going to be one day a week starting next week,
since he's had such great improvement.

We've been on prayer lists all over the world, and we are very, very
blessed that he's even alive, much less still the same mentally, with
all his faculties.  Thanks for thinking about us.

Yeah, I recognized it, Chief.  My Dad and brothers were in our VFD
from the time I was a kid, so I was raised at the pumper races. :-)
However, I never did see any hoses like these. LOL
