the only thing i've been able to find is the meetup.com site, which there is a meetup in early feb. with one person attending so far, have to doubt how great it is if no one is going.... any suggestions?.

well yesterday i saw the surgeon, with regards to my left hip and because it is so advanced with osteoarthritis and is crumbling the doctor says my surgical date is march the 3rd.
he said also he may have a cancellation for feburary and i may be able to have that day.
of march.
((Terry)):
I know surgery is a scary process. When I had surgery I explained my fears to my doctor. Including the feelings regarding blood. He suggested that I store my own blood, if I had concerns. I felt better having that option even though I did not need it. It made the process eaiser for me.
When you get out of surgery you will be groggy, disoreintated and thirsty! But it will pass, the nurses will be there and many (that I had) were wonderful in helping me.
The one thing I am going to suggest for preparation:
Recover and Comfort Pillows:
www.bodyblockers.com The "Abduction Pillow"
One person suggested a walkie talkie w/ charger so people did not have to hover over her.
Lots of books, magazines, etc.
www.dr.leonards.com ** this I will recommend for other things too. The things I list are found here and I will put a ** beside them. You may wish to "stockpile" now so you have it.
A "Gopher" reacher because there are things you will need but cannot access.
A long handled sponges
Safety grip handles for your tub**
Bath Chairs **
Hanging basket
Hand Basket so you don't have to make multiple trips.
Crockpot so you can have easy meals.
Precooked and frozen meals ahead of time, so it is easier on everyone.
Gold Bond Medicated lotion for the itchy feelings.
Places to find the pillows, the sock cones, the shoe horns, bed blocks, elastic shoe strings to transform regular comfortable tie shoes into slip ons, elevated toliet seats, etc.
"The Wright Stuff"
www.caregiverproducts.com is a good resource too.
Wishing you the best.

rules (speaking in the human sense) were developed since adam first met eve, and have been evolving ever since.
many such rules eventually become laws, though most are first subsumed as "natural" behavioralism.. rules (speaking in the theistic sense) are dictated by a higher moral being.
these rules become inexorably encrusted with age and superstition.. rules (speaking in the practical sense) are "what works for the time, and people of that time.".
You play with yourselves!

it looks like my bed had just about had it and it's time to get another one... but i have no idea how to shop for one.
i've tried looking at review web sites, but there are very few with almost no information.
something i keep seeing at the stores are the "no turn" mattresses.
I was helping a friend of mine who has health issues. He cannot stand pressures on his back.

These are just some of the things I found.

last night, i'm lying in bed, getting all sleepy and comfortablehuge spider in the corner of my room!!!!!!
eeeeeeekkkk!!!
i rush from my bed and grab the vacuum cleaner and flip the switch...........and voila he's sucked up safely and hopefully very dead inside............feeling much safer and again serene, i climb back in bed and pass an uneventful, peaceful night.
SHUDDDER!!!!!
I hate Spiders and Roaches!
As a children we had a badddd roach problem where we lived. Ask Tay.. we had the place sprayed once and literally were shoveling roaches out into bags. We were up to our ankles! in dead roaches. It is bad when you turn on the light and the floor moves.
We did not dare go into the kitchen with out light. Think peanut shell sounds.
I had a roach try to crawl up my nose, talk about freaking out!
X. EWwwwwwww!
i am so terrified!.
#2 daughter came home from college on 12/18 with a violent headache, nausea, neck pain and great fatigue.
we took her to the dr. on the 20 and again on the 21st as she had kept nothing down for 3 days.
((Brenda and Family)):
Wishing and hoping the best to you and your daughter. It is scary to witness and go through things like this. We are with you on this journey and send our good vibes your way.

if you click on the link below what you'll see is an aerial view of the llano cemetery, located in amarillo, texas -- the place where i'll probably be buried.
the gravestones can actually be seen.
they are the white specks, all layed out in rows.
