Aaron cooked for the first two weeks, but when he went back to work (and back to NYC) I was on my own and couldn't stand up long enough to cook. (Moving the food from the kitchen to the table was also a major challenge.)<br /><br />Microwave...voila!!<br />I mostly ate frozen meals, yogurt, fruit, and frosted flakes. <br /><br />Anyway, thinking of you guys.ajthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124305644949477079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-59695142424232223332010-11-01T05:26:33.909-07:002010-11-01T05:26:33.909-07:00Paint, Lisa, Paint!

I can't imagine the emotional heartache, along with the physical struggle the two of you must be going through.<br />::hug::<br />You listed yarn as a "do send" item, which leads me to ask... are there circulation concerns with broken back issues? I ask because I've started spinning yarn with an elastic core... makes for some incredibly stretchy stuff. Someone pointed out to me that it would be superb for knitting 'leg tubes' as they can be knit small and stretched over legs to encourage circulation. This type of yarn is quite new, so I couldn't send a pattern along, but if you think yarn of this sort could be used to create something to A)Help keep you sane and B)Help Robb, please let me know (along with his colors and any possible fiber sensitivities).<br />Healing thoughts to you both.<br />Heather Bloom<br />aka LunaSea<br />lunasea at miscreants dot orgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606871266195740524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-55494192758310885672010-10-31T09:24:55.609-07:002010-10-31T09:24:55.609-07:00I can't say it any better than what Marlena ju...I can't say it any better than what Marlena just said, I will also pray that the Lord takes care of both of you and that Rob heals quickly. <br /><br />-TerraKacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-50453512542226508742010-10-31T07:32:07.259-07:002010-10-31T07:32:07.259-07:00wool? really? Wool is the itchiest thing in the ...wool? really? Wool is the itchiest thing in the world to me--even a blanket worn over flannel pyjamas is intolerable. I'd take a quivering heap of 30 cotton blankets over 1 wool one of equal warmth. But to each one's own, I suppose. <br /><br />I now have an image in my head of a mountain of blankets, glistening and jiggling like a stack of cold fried eggs. Bleh.<br /><br />(jiggle)<br /><br />Ooh, a team of my ex-classmates have created a show called "remedies for loneliness" over here that I think you might get a charge out of. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I attended a rehearsal to make props notes the other day and had a sort of warm-fuzzy "oh, where's Lisa?" moment when an actress peeled the foil lid off of a "wine for one" glass and ate a TV dinner with a plastic fork. It was probably the saddest thing I've ever seen on stage, but it was also completely hilarious in that Pillowman-esque "I really shouldn't be laughing" way. Except not gruesome.<br /><br />Anyway. Just know that you're in my thoughts--even when I don't actively go out of my way to think of you, you're there. and Ben's Granny wishes Robb a speedy recovery too.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613698397288879671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-79356553814625545752010-10-31T03:17:17.147-07:002010-10-31T03:17:17.147-07:00I dated a guy with a spinal cord injury once.
