Thanks Sandy. I saw your message on the other list too. Lol. Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Warren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 11:10 PM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Update On Me
Hi, Helen, I don't want to bore you, as I commented on the other mutual list, but did not comment on one thing, the length of time spent waiting for our appointments at the doctors' offices, in comparison to the short amount of time actually spent with the doctor. wow, annoying. it is that way, too when mom has her appointments. I am praying that by the next time you return for your appointment, you will have gained strength; these things do take time. wonder if using a soft ball and rolling it in your palm, and moving it with your fingers would help; also, squeezing it; just a few suggestions; continuing praying for progress for you.
