: Hi Russ,
: I know what you are talking about.. There are many things that I can no longer
do.Spinal Stenosis as well as Arthritis. Of course we should be glad that we are able to
do what we can. You think your mechanic charged a lot?? The Sunday before Thanksgiving I
started to hemorrhage. A trip to the emergency room. Surgery on Monday and I got out Wed.
Afternoon. Not counting the doctors charges the hospital bill alone was $53,000. Old
age is not golden.
