Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Terri glad you were able to save some money. I know you can get those sliders at Wal Mart too. They are $9.95 there. If you ever need any again keep that in mind. Continued prayers.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'm so glad, Terri, that you began the PT. SO very sorry about your fall! You really need that walker, and NOW! Do you already have it? Please do be faithful about using it. One of these falls is going to have you going to the hospital if you're not careful.Keep up with the PT and let us know how you progress.You're in my thoughts, Terri,love,KateTo: mserslife Sent: Fri, April 1, 2011 11:43:27 PMSubject: My PT today/ Terri MSer's I had tried to reply at Yahoo but I really need spell check with all my typo's it wouldn't have made any sense:( I'm still slow with my typing so it doesn't really slow my typing skills.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'm glad you finally found the PT place:) lol I laugh, but I SO understand about getting lost. So you will have a walker with sliders? Good. I hope there will be far fewer falls in your future. I do worry about you breaking bones, you know.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
