It took most of the day to clean this up. Actually, this was after some cleanup had been done. I didn't get a picture of the door.

When one of the girls got married to a guy with the last name of Miller, her office was filled with empty boxes of Miller, lost of women's underclothings, various creams, and some other things. Two other girls are currently pregnant. 6 weeks will give someone a lot of time.

I also requested a 12 Liter LOX tank be delivered to our home before we left. That will provide several days of continuous oxygen. That was placed in the rear seat. We used that one to get up there and back. We also took along 2 10-Liter concentators that we used at the resort, plus the oxygen company delivered another large bottle and 12 small bottles to the resort for our stay.
I designed and had a mount made that carries her pull cart on her power chair. That way I don't have to run along behind her towing the cart and sharing her oxygen with her.

You crack me up. The mental image of you huffing and puffing, jogging along beside her, swapping the oxygen back and forth struck me as funny for some reason.

Seafood isn't my friend, either.
At least she was enjoying herself in the pic above.
Oh. Was the trip restful?

I saw that comment on FB, about her toe.
I was going to make a comment about her getting "toe up", but thought better of it. I hope she recovers quickly.

Field Hockey? I figured from that look she had in the chair that she's a character.

Later we progressed to the point that she rode in my lap on the lawnmower, down to the back fence and back. Earlier in this thread, I showed you my big surprise when she got behind the wheel of the gokart. That was her first time to ever drive and she made a half dozen laps, passing a little boy in the process.
Today I picked her up frkm Pre-K in the 86 and she was all excited about that. As I pulled out on the highway, I accelerated pretty hard and she started to scream. "Yeah!, Yeah!" As I shifted into 2nd, she yelled "Do it again!" She was really enjoying that 140 HP mid-engine roar.
I think there's a future for my Fieros.

Melanie's been having an increasingly difficult time, both with breathing and with pain. Difficulty in walking very far so I sometimes need to stay close.

When I went to sit down, the chair didn't feel right. Someone had removed the seat cushion and put a pail of water under the cloth.
My computer was off. When I went to turn it on, it made a funny noise, and spewed confetti all over.
There was some silver goo on the door handle.
When I went to the restroom to clean up, a bucket of beer of some sort fell off the door. I got some on one shoulder and arm.
By the time I got the confetti off me, and washed the beer off, the inspector was due. I can't wait to see this report.

Pinched nerve? Did they disable the device in your back, just for testing purposes?
The money I've spent on doctors would've purchased a new Lamborghini. Insurance picked up less than $100K. The medical "experts" never were able to do anything but refer me to another specialist. I had brain scans, color 3D scans of my lungs, and every imaginable scan for which they could use me as a guinea pig. After they severed the nerve, I felt better.

7 hours in the ER, a CT, and nothing found. Guess I'll go fill the 2 pain meds they prescribed.
Have you had a MRI recently? If so, were you given a contrast dye containing Gadolinium? Some people are allergic to that, and it can cause pain and a burning sensation.

There is a test for nerves. It probably would wreak havoc on your stimulator, but they send signals down the nerves by sticking needles in you and running current through them. It used to be a painful, 4-hour ordeal, but it isn't as bad now as it used to be. I think the last time it took 15-20 minutes, and was basically just annoying. Using this method, they were able to determine which nerves were severed and where. I had numerous locations, and my nerves were basically in sections--some as short as 3 inches. As I recall, they would tweak the controls on their device and control my arm and fingers.
Another possible alternative is deadening. They can deaden particular nerves, rather than an area. When they deaden the nerve that is feeling pain, they should know where to look for the problem.
Since you're so active, you probably don't have this, but sometimes people get calcium deposits on their spine, which pinches nerves. Basically, just suffer through it. I don't remember much more about it, except that it took several weeks to recede.
Of course, I'm no medical person. I'm just spitballing. I have no idea what these things cost, but I ran up huge medical bills.
