Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005I found us a new gimp-Hi Jimmy
Every day at work I meet people who use canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. but rarely chat with them about their 'difabilities'. Today I met Jimmy and, in the course of our conversation, he told me about his hip replacement and several injuries he's had over the years. He's having a terrible finding support and people who understand what it's like to live with the limits he has. I told him about our group and the gathering in Portland this weekend and he got really excited. We may be seeing him on Saturday. I told him I'd give him a call Friday evening and let him know what our Saturday plans look like. He says he doesn't do much with the computer, but I gave him directions to finding us via Google, so I hope he's able to do that and see this welcome message. Kelly C.

LOL! ummm . . . what's that make me? i dunno, kelly, but my brain saw and read the phantom word "time" the first time, automatically knew what you meant and didn't even see what you didn't mean. more evidence that this is a family! actually, darn near close to a marriage, marriage of the minds--- polygamous at that, because it's many minds.LOL hey, and point him out to us when jimmy does get on group. kate >> He's having a terrible finding support and people who > > Sheesh...that would be a terrible *time* finding support...what a dork I > > am [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > kate I should also mention that I invited Jeanne (beanie at rheumorweb) to join us. She lives in Portland and I thought she might like to make that connection. She said she'd try and meet up with us at some point this weekend.

Steven, or fifteen year old grandson was feeling left out so we asked if he wanted to come with us. I really didn't think he would want to, but he's packing. He will be a great help with keeping his younger brother amused. Have Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and an assortment of dried plum candy and nuts loaded in the car.

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > of gravity's forces on the body to stimulate owies. > kate Take a couple of Benadryl and call it a night. We'll be in Portland tomorrow for Rach's neuro. appt. I am so ready for this gathering that I don't even care if we do nothing but eat and talk for two days.:o) Kelly C. >> this sounds like it will be really fun for the newbies! now, that's a > cool [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Kelly C. i already do take a couple of benedryl each night.LOL yeah, me too, i can't wait. i just want to kick back and enjoy everybody. i'm so looking forward to it, knowing how fun it will be. kate Hi Jimmy *waving* See you in Portland.
