Hopefully therapy will help, tho it may hurt more initially.
I've had good results with is particulat physical therapy group before
so I'm hopeful.
Steve is on one blood thinner so was actually surprised last week when
he cut himself that the bleeding stopped fairly quickly. He did apply pressure right away and after we got it rinsed off, put more pressure
on with the bandaging. Don't know, because I didn't go into the ER treatment room, how much blood was on the bandaging when they cut it
off but it hadn't fully soaked thru. He'll have a nice little reminder scar on his arm.
I've done that before and thankfully everything has just been small scratches. The big issue is I'm actually on one blood thinner and an anti-coagulant which can cause bad problems.
That would freak me out, seeing a needle come at my eyes. I wassemi RH> sedated for the cataract surgeries so wasn't aware of the
You don't actually see the needle coming. It's injected below your
sight line.
I needed them in the kitchen because the distance correction lensesto RH> 2' away fuzzy enough that I needed to sharpen them up. That was

Same with me. With my 1.25 power readers, everything farther away is lightly blurry but when anything gets within two feet or closer,
that's when I can't focus well and the readers help a lot.
No fun--have you looked into learning Braille?
It wouldn't help. My diabetic neuropathy is bad enough to where I couldn't distinguish the Braille properly.
No fun. Among other things that did my older brother in besides RH>uncontrolled diabetes was a C.Diff infection. I don't remember if he
had the transplant or not but have read about them.
It's something I am working on (the gut issues). Another thing is dentures so I don't swallow food whole like I do now. Today, I was
able to get to the denture place I want to use and it's $2000 for a
full set of upper and lower dentures out the door. So the first week
of January, I'm going to my credit union with my parents to see about gettring a
loan with them co-signing (they offered to help). I haven't had a
full mouth of teeth for 35 years now. I know I'll need to relearn how
to eat properly. I'm excited about this.
Could you improvise a shoe and have somebody take you? I knowstanding RH> for long times can be hard; I have a tall stool in the
I'm still able to wear my current shoes even though they are
ill-fitting because I cannot walk properly without the special calf
brace on my
right shoe. It helps stabilize my foot and allows me to balance
properly. I do have a pair of house shoes that allow me to walk
without the brace but I usually walk less than 50 feet at a time. I
do use a
cane to help balance me when I walk.
We each have our preferences. (G)
My preference does come at a cost: stairs. I'd need to add grab bars
to make it up the two stairs as they're a little steep for me.
Now with the 16' Scamp, I'd most likely leave the rear dinette in the "full bed" position as the layout I want has a small full-time
dinette.
It's not like I haven't planned everything out or anything like
that...
Our older daughter has a Bosch, stainless steel and quieter'n a
whisper. Her family room is right off an open kitchen and you can't
even hear the dishwasher--oly way you know it is running is to see a
spot of light on the floor in front of it.
The good thing about this portable dishwasher I want is my dad can
make a butcher block for me and put that on the dishwasher for me. A little more usable space.
Looks good but I'd add maybe half a teaspoon or so of pepperminttop of RH> it.
extract or sprinkle crushed peppermint candies (candy canes?) on
I'd put the peppermint extract in. Can't chew candy canes right now.
Side note: I love cashews. I haven't been able to eat them in years.
I am looking forward to the day when I can have a handful again...and
a SD> good steak!

Always a help. I have a couple of wooden boards (one that I got from my grandmother's estate in 1974) and an assortment of plastic ones. I
prefer the latter for meats as I can put them in the dishwasher & know they're clean and sanitised. I keep a couple of boards just for meat.

Some woods are natural bacterriacides. But I always wipe my wooden
boards down with white vinegar or hydrogen pewroxide after a good hot mwater
rinse. I've got some plastic boards - but they're just so tacky and
have \a cheezy feel to them. I much prefer the maple boards I use.
