Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 IIRC - If I remember/recall correctly - I love this one!! ROFLOL - rolling on the floor laughing out loud :~} I remember asking what dorsiflexion was here like 3 times and got no answers, must have been a busy week for everyone I suppose... I finally just guessed or assumed and went from there hehe... I do understand! There are some CF related FAQ's somewhere I think... the other things are just email/internet acronyms and I don't know where there's complete listing of those but I'm sure there is one.
