Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 > Tess contact the Elks sometimes they have chairs and thing like that you can use free. Also you might ask you pharmacy if they know of places you can get a recliner without renting one. Hope all goes well and you are feeling better soon. Please don't push it for work it could make it longer getting back to work. Also I am from Oregon, born and raised a nice little (200 population) place called Seneca, nice place to raise kids. We just recently moved to Wenatchee WA (beautiful here). I have a daughter in Sherwood OR. As I said hope all goes well and you are feeling better soon. in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hi ...thanks for the great tips! I'll be looking into things this week for sure. Oregon & Washington are both so beautiful. I was born & raised in Oregon, but lived near Port Orchard, WA, right on the Puget Sound for 4 years. I could see the ferry coming down the sound each nght...so beauiful. Hugs of Hope & Love....

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dear Kathy...thank you for your sweet note. My kids are all just starting out, so they're pretty strapped. They help me in many, many other ways though. My folks and sister are good people, and love me very much I know, but they really, really don't " GET IT " about how hard this all is and how difficult it is to manage with very little. Thanks for your caring, dear Kathy. Love & Hugs... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
