Hurray for an update. Glad Billy seemed to be on the mend.
Prayers for Catie!
Thank you, Mary! I really appreciate it.
I'll keep Catie in my prayers. It sounds like a difficult surgery.
Yes, I believe she'll need all the prayers she can get... thanks! I'm sorry her friend scared her about the pain, but I suppose it's best to be prepared.
Holy Cow! 85 lbs?? You GO, Girl!
Mmmmm, yes. We have two of them--they're great!.... If she doesn't have one, it'll make a nice present, that's for sure!
Will definitely ask if my sister has them...
Kathy~ Of course we'll keep her in our prayers. She so precious, and I'll pray she'll be held in the hands of God while she goes through this. Bless her little heart...
Sorry to go off topic about sweet Catie, but I must ask.
Where do you get the heating pad type things? Hubby and I have back issues and need relief without taking meds. all the time. Would we benefit from something like this? What makes them work so well?
Thank you, Millie!
You can get them from many places... catalogs, drug stores, even kiosks in the mall! Those ones usually smell very nice. The label on mine says it's made with all-natural materials... it smells a little like cooked rice!
They are safer than heating pads, which can get hotter especially if you lie on them. These gradually cool off (you just re-heat them in the microwave.) So, there is less risk of getting a burn. Plus, it's moist heat, not dry heat, which is more therapeutic. Don't know why... moist heat just seems to penetrate muscles better.
Try it!
