Thanks John, Magenta, and Chris. My 10yo daughter has an appointment next month at the same hospital. Shriners Hospitals are just awesome. My 10yo has a condition called Blounts disease. It has something to do with the bowing of the legs. At her age, unfortunately, the only way to correct it is surgery. They have to go in and break the legs, straighten everything up, and cast her. But then she will have 8 more years of doctor appointments, as Shriners only takes care of patients till they are 18, unless there is more to do, then they extend it to 21 years of age. |

Thanks Mike and Magenta. Once its fixed it shouldn't cause any further problems, but it will be something to keep an eye on. My youngest daughter has something similar to what I have. I don't know the name of what they came up for my "issue", but my daughters is called Arthrogryposis, its pretty extensive. And, the geneticist said that her chances of passing it on to her children is a 50/50 chance, and it will continue that way. Maybe with technological advances, they can cure this stuff and stop it from passing onto further generations. Till then, my kids continue to go to Shriners, and their kids will probably end up there as well. |

As nobody has wanted to tidy Rocky's since mid February, and the coffee milk is getting past it's use by date, it is time to fumigate, clean and restock this Cafe. I am closing the doors for a few minutes while I get my super-egg suit on and rush around implementing my claim. At least I look good wearing the egg yolk underpants on the outside of my egg white suit. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
