Physical Therapy is about determination, patience, and perseverance.
Keep it up (whatever they ask of you), and you will get them working
again.

Hah! Ironically, I was about 4 floors below last night (father broke
foot again), but thought it would be way too late to go up and visit
unannounced.
Anyway, It's probably too late to plan this for tonight, but what do
you think of a group of us coming up to visit? Do they like/not like
big groups?

Maybe someone on this list knows of a channel to get deeply discounted
Adobe products.. Anyone?
Then, we could have a 'virtual donation jar' to get these for you.
Knowing you've got a good setup waiting for you to 'get back into it'
could help motivate during therapy.

Re 'off-list', we've been waiting for you to return to the IRC channel!

Wishing you the best in nurses for Christmas,
