    I am sorry that you have to deal with the riggors of life. I just wanted to add my support to the others and let you know that the "been there done that" scenario "got the t shirt" kinda thing is relevent to the past ten years or so of my life as well.

     

    The previous posts all have sound advice and you are right stuff is stuff and people come first.

     

    Hang in there ...you will make it.

    Just my 2 cents worth from Canada. (Not sure what that is in American ) wicklaugh.gif

     

    Up here we have "pop" (both Coke and Pepsi). We have grocery bags and bags of bird feed. We have shirts and pants. We use the bathroom (ifn we need to). Our dollars are "Loonies" and two dollars are "Toonies". We have Mountains, Moose and Mounties. We have a bad habit of adding the word Eh (pronounced A) when we talk. However contrary to popular belief we don't have snow all year (at least in Southern Canada) We don't live in Igloos and use Skidoos to get around. We do wear toques (knit hat) in winter. A favourite treat are "Beaver Tails" and a popular dessert is "chocolate moose" eh lol_2.gif

    I was thinking more like what leaves do in Autumn (fall)!

     

    You did a great article in the Strokenet Newsletter back a couple of months ago or so. Thanks for that.

     

    I also know that you have had your share of interesting experiences and challenges as well wicklaugh.gif

     

    So if you happen to corner the market on this "Fall Prevention Thing" You can share any of the goodies with me eh.

     

    It is a BIG problem and getting bigger as we age and get to be stroke survivors and such.

     

    Apparently the cost to the Health Care System is in the Billions if not the Trillions of dollars each and every year.

     

    Thanks for your comment I am still lol_2.gif

     

    How about Fall Jokes e.g "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound?" What about Vickie at the Source Store? (see my post on fall prevention.)
