Gathering

March 21, 2006

Hi All,

Just my .02 that I would love to participate in a gathering. I

filled out the questionnaire and vote for St. Louis, but would be open

to any other location. I would love to meet all of you.

Kam, I'm glad you are doing well and I know how hard it is to

shave legs. It's even more difficult for me because of my hip

replacements. I just tape a razor to a ruler and the long handle

makes it easier to reach. I hate to go to the pool with hairy legs

and I love water therapy.

in CA. I'm glad your surgery went well. I'm sure your

doggies are keeping you company. My basset, Miss Blossom, is sitting

next to me on the couch and has been a great comfort.

I'm doing pretty well since my hip replacement. Dr. Bridwell was

right about the piriformis muscle entraping the sciatic nerve. My

surgeon stretched the piriformis and said it was really pressing on

the sciatic nerve. My nerve pain is still there but it's a lot less

and I don't even think about it much.

I'm doing physical therapy for my hip and enjoy the workouts,

especially the stationary bicycle. The only problem I have now is

tapering off the pain meds, especially the duragesic patch. I'm on my

last 12.5 mcg patch and will switch over to all oral meds tomorrow.

Dear Terry,

Thanks for the idea, another spot to check into. Is the Orleans on the

strip? I'll check into it, good to have lots of options, especially when a

member has actually stayed there and enjoyed themself.
