Jo,

I tried a brace but it hurt too much. Tape didn't help any either. I

am going to try the stationary bike. I had to convince Herb I would be okay

on it first. He worries so much! I'll let you know how it goes!

Look for a recumbant exercycle. It places less strain o n the knee. At

least it does for me.

Felice,

Thanks. I'll look for one. I really want to find something I can do.

I miss my exercising routine and walking. I have a nordic track but Herb

put it away on me. I'm gonna see if he'll take it out for me tonight.

Doubt I'll be able to do much on it as I can't even walk through the mall.

Have to use that darn wheel chair.

Tracey,

I use an electric cart to get through shopping now. Either what the store

provides or my own if I am lucky enough to have it along. When the store

doesn't have one and I don't have mine along I am in for trouble. Beside

going through the store like a drunken sailor I get this spasm that

starts at my right hip and runs down my crotch up to my, how do I delicately

put it, rectum? The pain is excruciating and the contortions I do to relieve

it are hilarious for others to watch. I have been known to get into the car

and put one foot up on the hood and the other food alongside the passenger

door. Until I had this pain I didn't know I could move in these directions?

I guess if someone would be willing to push me in the wheelchair I could

avoid this.

Felice,

I do have to use a wheel chair when out in the stores. I've never tried

one of the electric ones the stores have. I'm too afraid I'll run into

something or someone!! I don't drive anymore so Herb takes me to the store

and manages to push me and pull the cart behine us.

I don't think I could get into that positon of one foot on the hood,

etc. Or if I did, I'd probably get stuck!!!!

I get those spasms sometimes, too. I'll just be sitting there and my

whole leg starts shaking. People ask, Are you cold? If you say no, they

look at you like your'e just crazy or something. So, now, I just say yes,

I'm cold. It's too hard explaining it to people.

Well, hope you had a good evening. Get some sleep. Pleasant dreams.

Hugs, Tracey
