Thanks and good evening, Ms Feather...((HUGS))...are you seeing signs of fall? Leaves turning and falling?
She is feeling better. Knees seem to work much better in the morning. Tomorrow she starts using the heating pad on them. Yesterday and today was ice pack.
She is to call the handyman tomorrow and see if he will come and make the one step left, not covered by the stair lift, 1/2 the size (among other small jobs). She had a terrible time getting up when we got home from the doctor on Friday. For now, no downstairs trip without and aide.
Hi Kathy,
I was wondering- does your mom prop her legs at night? I use pillows one under each knee, this helps my knees.
Oh yes, the heating pad should bring much relief. I use one each night with a rub (Icy Hot). It is best not to put the heating pad directly over the bare skin with the rub on, I use a small tea towel.
Signs of Fall are happening, the Sugar Maples are changing color, they are the most colorful. Oaks turn a russet color and hang on most of the winter.
Yesterday the temp went to 80 F, today rain and a cold wind blowing from the North, Burr.
Daughter finally turned the boiler on- after much harping from me. :)
Stairs are a problem, thank goodness I have only 4 concert steps to climb when I leave the porch. My walker is very sturdy - it is like the Cadillac of walkers. It folds up for ease in placing in the car when I go out.
