<<How the hell are you going to keep her off a computer? I don't think that's gonna work, dood. >>

Her dockable only connects to work. Since she works on computers as a programmer she isn't into them as a hobby. She might do some e-mail with her friends at work.

<<A person can only watch so much TV. >>

The 10 days she was in the hospital she never turned the tube on. Doesn't like radio either.

I took the old wheelchair back and got another one. It's broken too but in a way that has no effect except on opening and closing. With this one her leg is supported out front. Like sitting in a rocker on the porch. Hell, they were out with .......the horses. Plus this young girl has a way with people. My hand gets near her leg and she's howling, the girl lifted it up a foot and a half so I could slide the CPM under it and never a whimper.

<<I had "pain", and I can tell you there's a secret to drugs ~ don't run out. >>

In her case that was the watch word. I've broken several bones, had wisdom teeth pulled, back surgery, burns and I've never wanted pain killers. Ok, I did when I was building the barn. I'd take a couple of aspirin and some whiskey but that was so I could move. At that time I'd had a heart attack and busted some ribs and my back was out. I was also plumb exhausted. I was digging post holes by hand and setting 16' 4x6s in concrete.
