i remember back in the 70's there was an ad for coca-cola, with the drink

in a glass with ice cubes. the glass was curvy, like a woman's hour glass

figure kind of thing. if you looked carefully and knew what you were

looking for, you could see that the ice cubes had the letters S-E-X on them.

well i was lying in bed, late at night and it was dark, etc. that really

helped me to do as he said and just concentrate on relaxing.

do you mean a ramp or an incline step?

i dont own either one and have only one workout that does use an inclined step.

i know that kathy has used gin miller's ramp and workouts -- did she

sell/trade it to donna?

maybe one of those ladies can give you some input on that. leslie sansone

also uses the same ramp and has her own set of workouts for it.

for a harder, more thorough workout, you can look into the incline step

that is used for the firm's bss3 and bss4 (transfirmer) workouts. the

incline step is different than a ramp though.

Geri:

Also check with your local Lion's Club International group for help. My husband

and I belong to two separate clubs here in Iowa and both clubs help build ramps

for homes. I know some of the individuals get help through their local DHS

office for the materials and the Lion's do the labor as a service project.

Good Luck in finding help.

Hello

Also check with MDA and see if there is a medical equipment loan

" closet " nearby so that you can actually try out different items and

" borrow " them like a library book.

Also check all the civic groups, your state may have an assistive

technology program as well.

Check out online resources and dealers to compare models, styles and

prices, etc.

If you would like further guidiance, please email and I will help in

anyway I can.

Geri,

Go to your local MDA Association. I know they can get people together who need

equipment with those who want to sell or give away equipment.

Thank you so much...I'll try that.
