Your daughter is OK with having to wear shorts in front of a class? My daughter was a professional entertainer for many years. She performed with dance companies around the world, and then later in life

They both had strokes! Oh heavens, that's terrible. I was so impressed at the difference physical therapy made in my own history. I couldn't walk. Couldn't sit. I was in a pickle. With just the proper

What a beautiful daughter and granddaughter. I'm very happy for you. As for Costco: my son takes my husband's hearing aids there to be repaired. What a nightmare. He's sure the story must be giving out

I'm waiting for my granddaughter to call me downstairs. I'm to be her 'patient'. She's doing an online graduate course in occupational therapy and she is about to stick me with a paper clip :))) We rehearsed
