I had Covid...
No haven’t retired the scooter yet. I’ve been using it when I’ve had a long day and the knee starts getting weak. I am still not 100% back to full capacity yet, so I am still allowed to use it. ...
Slow and steady wins the race!!!
Thanks Masha, it really is that easy. Although, it’s expensive it does what they say it does. I was skeptical about it but once I started eating the food I was never really hungry outside of the...

Coolief can be repeated every 6 months and no end until it stops working for longer periods of time.

We've all been having a howling good time Bob! Nice to hear from you again. I hope you are well.
Take time to read the book "Coping with Prednisone". I think it is still available via Amazon. Great read for us that have to unwillingly be on pred for extended periods of time. It is written by...
I'm glad that you can move on to a new chapter Victor. I am glad that you and your family can enjoy some great time together!!!
We just need to move you somewhere WARMER and MORE HUMID Tom!!! LOL!!
You are welcome! To make it stay cold, do a small serving of fruit and add crushed ice to it when blending. Water takes off some calories, but makes it cold and yummy.
We get almond milk in...
My wife and I have changed our diets the past few years, and about 6 months ago, I found a smoothie blender on sale for $40. We have been making fruit smoothies at least 5 days a week for breakfast....

Way to go Kiddo!! I wish you the best of luck in your new endeavors!
I hope you find the perfect healthcare team too!
