    <description>&lt;P&gt;Fran, yes, it was a "good" tired. My DDIL is happy to talk about her back issues either in person or on the phone, but doesn't do much texting or emailing. She does for work, but not for family. She has severe arthritis in her back and feet. They can't operate on her unless they fuse her spine which nobody wants. This temporary stimulator will be external, and it will only take 2 or 3 days to know whether or not it helps. If so, they can implant it in her back. It has something like a pacemaker attached to it. The pain doesn't reach the brain to register. Hope it works for her. The muscle relaxers they are giving her help her sleep better. There's a dear woman on KS who has spinal stenosis. She had silicone injections in 2 places and has been helped a lot. Most of the friends I have there are opting to not try posting with this new system. They all use small hand held devices rather than lap tops, so they have real trouble signing in and posting. I use my lap top, not my Kindle Fire. Sorry your new sod was a dud, but glad they are going to fix it. Nurseries are going to go out of business out here and mayb lots of gardeners. And pool guys, etc. And food prices will be higher since the farmers are not going to receive their water anymore. Hugs to you also, dear friend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;possummink, sorry you can't enjoy the sounds of nature you so love. It's too hot to have the window open, plus the AC is probably on. We cool off enough at night to not need it then, and I leave the slider in my room open. Have you considered taking a train ride for fun? One of my friends went up to Canada on the West coast and took a train east. She enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for the pictures.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am very concerned about all our friends who haven't posted since they Q made these changes. We are praying for you and hope you find you way back.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;snappy &lt;img id="heart" class="emoticon emoticon-heart" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_heart.png" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am sick for the first time since my husband passed away and have a prescription to take which scares me without him here since I have some odd reactions to drugs. It's always baby steps and sometimes one forward and two back...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Blondegirl - That would be scary, do you have anyone to stay with you at least until you know how medicine will affect you?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;blondgirl, if you are new to the Widow's thread, may I say that I'm grateful you found your way here, especially today. It is scary to face serious things alone. If you have questions about your new medication, perhaps either your doctor or the pharmacist could help you. I don't blame you for being fearful. My hubby went Home nearly 5 years ago. Things are getting easier for me. Making a new reality, but it's not the same and never will be. I live with my DD and that's a blessing. Please come back and let us know how you are doing. You will find much love here, even if we have to wade through this new system.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi 10grands, it wasn't easy to find you, but here we are. I don't like this system. Don't begin to understand it, but it is what it is as they say. Hang in there and we will figure out a way to stay together. This thread is too important to be lost. Love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;possummink, we found our way here. Wasn't easy for me, but I'll keep trying. This thread has so much to offer all of us that we must stay together. The picture of the house with all that ivy on it looked to me like it had Mickey Mouse ears!! Hope your day is going well. DD#1 and her hubby are on their way to the desert for a few days so stopped by to see the house now that it has been painted. Take care...love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;goldens, so good to see you. I don't find this user friendly at all, and also want the old posts back. I'm used to scrolling through them and making notes with pen on paper so I remember important things like a date when someone will be seeing a doctor or travelling or a significant date that is hard like an anniversary. I guess we have to play it their way if we are to stay together, and we must do that. So many are helped here or offer help to others. Blessings on you this day, dear friend.&amp;nbsp; snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>
