Hi again, James!  This is a continuation of my previous message:

JB>  Rattling cages I know about. 


        I figured you would....  :-))



JB>  I think I mentioned my reluctance to start the
JB>  palliative care? Thirty-Five, and they wanted

        Yes, that's the spirit!  You have potentially many years of useful
life left... and so has Nora.  What is appropriate for others may not be
appropriate for either of you, but even the professionals seem to get into
a rut sometimes. Nora had an OT in rehab, for example, who thought we
should buy a lift-equipped van as a lot of other families had.  But their
kids were in some degree of coma resulting from motor vehicle accidents...
meaning they couldn't co-operate with transfers... and money was no object
because the families handed the bills over to their lawyers.  The OT
apparently assumed that was the way things were done, and failed to take
the circumstances into account.  She thought I was nuts when I suggested
Nora might be able to walk around a bit too.  But within three days of our
homecoming Nora was walking from the living room to her bedroom....  :-)



JB>  Just understand, my `lay down to type' 'puter seems

JB>  can be a little challenging to type on, and it *is*
JB>  spring here. I am eager to get out in the weather a

        Understood....  :-)



JB>  I will likely be slowing down on fido a bit, but I'll

        Thankyou.  We're also busy with other matters at present.  But, as
Nora says, "I still have some stories in me" & I certainly
won't forget you....  ;-)
