Shower Chair

When I had my surgery, I wanted to take a shower so badly. However, I was feeling quite weak and had to have a lot of assistance. They brought in a shower chair and it was a real lifesaver. I was able to sit down and enjoy my shower without feeling faint. Since then I have found out about this wonderful online website that carries all kinds of medical assistant products and you can shop by the particular medical problem you have. For instance, you may need a blood pressure monitor. They have those and much much more. They have added new products since they first started too. Check them out for all your medical needs.

Hawaii - Earthquake

Did you hear they had a 5.0 earthquake on the big island of Hawaii? I guess they have a lot of them. I can remember taking a bus trip around the volcano area on Oahu when were there 9 years ago. Hawaii is such a beautiful place. My brother-in-law got to go there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He flew in helicopters and took in all the site. They had a great time and he loved it. I knew he would. My husband just couldn't get over how beautiful and green it is there. My cousin spends at least a month there in the winter on Maui. I would enjoy going again if I had the chance.

Colon Cancer

Be sure to keep up on your regular colonoscopies as you never know. My husband had one Thursday and the doctor thought it was too early since his last one 4 years ago. However, they found colon cancer, a large tumor in the large colon. We have to wait 10 days to 2 weeks for the results of the biopsies and then it will be surgery. They tell us today colon cancer is very curable.

MRI for Back Problems

Tomorrow my husband is going to have an MRI because his sciatic nerve has really been bothering him. It hurts to sit on almost any chair but his recliner. It hurts to ride in the car farther than 5 miles. He has tried a number of various leg exercises and for awhile it seems to help but then it is right back again. He has already had x-rays of his back and had surgery 5 years ago on a ruptured disc. He is anxious to see what this MRI will show.

Weather or Not

We have three weather men and women with degrees on our local station and they are quite proud of the job they do. However, they really missed it this weekend. They said we would get anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow and I don't think we even got an inch. Not that we are complaining, mind you. We are very happy it missed us. We got just enough on the ground to cover it for a few hours and then it all melted away. That is one happy thing about snow in April and Spring.

CD Players

My brother told me he got me a present. It is a portable CD player. But not only that, he has made me some CD's of classical music I like so that I can listen to it while I am on the computer. My husband has never cared for classical music, but likes gospel and country music more. It will be very nice to have some good classical music I can listen to. I am looking forward to it.
