I may be going to pick up a handicap van tomorrow. Uncle Andy asked me to go with him to pick one up. It belongs to his daughter and she has a new one. He helped her get the old one so she is giving it to him and aunt Pat. Aunt has got to where she can use it.

Is it a mini van with a lowered floor or a full size like mine? I sure hate to hear she's gotten to that point. But her legs were giving her a lot of trouble when Donna was alive.

I don`t know anything about the van. I just know it`s a handicap van. Aunt Pat just quit. She got to where she wouldn`t/didn`t want to use it and now she`s lost it.

That's not what Donna would have wanted her to do I know that much. Last I knew Pat was hanging around Munchkins ex-boss from the nursing home. Her name is Peggy and she's a real good woman. They would come in where my oldest daughter worked for supper long time ago.

Pat put on a lot of weight and quit being active. Yes, she has some medical issues and says she hurts when she tries to walk and do things. Andy say`s she`s addicted to and abuses her pain meds. I don`t know for sure but it looks like it. Maybe I`m weird but I don`t like pain med and will endure pain. It lets me know I`m alive.

I have pain meds from a year ago. I can't handle taking them long but I need them for when my back goes out so I can get back in commission faster. The sooner I stop taking them the sooner my gut feels better. I walk when and where I can but I do stay off concrete floors as much as possible and don't walk the driveway like I did before. That was the doctors advice.

There is a difference in abusing your body by doing something harmful to it and doing what you can. Everybody has to stop and rest or take a break. Gettin back up and keepin on keeepin on is what counts.

When I came into the world Doc Hill was worried about my feet LOL. Really though if I hadn't gotten the help when I did to correct my balance problems when I was 12 I'd be in a chair by now. It still did it's damage just not like it could have.
