I agree, it's a good size. It just doesn't fit in my joke of a locker at work when I have to travel to another facility.

Do you guys have free dental? Ours isn’t covered unless you have a private insurance plan or through a work insurance plan
free until you are 18 I think...most consultations are about $100 to start after that..dont get me going on what a crown costs....thats one of our downsides. Unless you lose teeth in an accident, it costs you.
No original for me, but I have seen pics of burgundy and just love the look. Also watching for a Legacy in currant, which might be a better size for me.
I am currently making a Murphy work so the Rambler is might be too much room.
I hope your finger gets better soon. One of the teacher’s at my school had trigger finger and her doctor wrote her out for 6 weeks. That is a head scratcher since it didn’t impact her ability to talk.
I have school insurance, not quite as good as a teacher’s, but compared to what others in the US have in terms of cost and coverage, I am super lucky. My coworker’s husband had a rare form of leukemia and wound up getting experimental treatments in NYC. Each visit was over $100,000 US....she paid her $20 specialist copay. That was it.
My daughter has health insurance through her work with the state of California. She has a condition that requires a specialist who doesn't take insurance. It costs $800 per visit.
Not really. Lol

Thanks. I was really concerned they might ruin bagsGreat news that you discovered the solution... your tea roses are so gorgeous!!!
Five years ago I broke my femur in two places and shattered some bone. The femur is the strongest bone in your body. Home improvement accident, falling sideways and slamming my side onto a hardwood floor. I felt my hip crush inward. Had to go by ambulance (fire dept guys were total hunks!) to the emergency room and had to have surgery. Thank goodness my hip joint was ok and no replacement necessary. I have a titanium rod with screw that runs the iength of my thigh. This was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me. I swore expletives when they moved my leg around for X-rays and I do not normally swear!
My surgeon said it was a life threatening injury and I’m like, who the heck is he talking to! I made a record recovery exceeding the norm by 13 months. (I told my surgeon when I planned to be off the blasted crutches and he said I’d be off when i was healed even if it took longer than the 10 weeks I agreed to. I was right though. 10 weeks later I was off the crutches.) My dr said some never recover and most take 18 months or more. I was back to walking normal in 5 months and I thought that was a long time. I remember longing to be able to walk without a limp and go up and down stairs like a normal person.
Daily walking has really strengthened my leg and I have no lingering effects. Before I started my regular walking (3-5 miles a day, 5-6 days a week), I noticed a weakness in that leg. It is important to strengthen and work those muscles in the hip area. It’s an intersection of complex muscles and joints. I learned way more than I wanted to know about how we walk and move that area of the body. Recovering from hip injuries with professional physical therapists is crucial. I did a great job doing my own (I’m stubborn) therapy but finally went to the pros to eliminate my limp. Turns out I was actually overdoing it and with a little refinement my limp was gone after three PT sessions! So save yourself some pain and hassle and get professional help!
I remember the pain from the xrays for my broken hip! They had given me morphine but it doesn't work on me. I swore too! I didn't have crutches because I also broke my arm. I used a cane for a short time.
Ouch! That sounds painful! I did get professional help but I waited too long so it will never fully be healed. I weight lift 4 days a week- my current deadlift PR is 255 lbs thanks to the doctor who helped re-align & strengthen my hip. Before I got help, I could barely squat 90 lbs. Now Im doing 155 lbs for reps. I do a lot of single leg exercises to strengthen the leg that got weak on the injured side as well. I also use bands to target the muscles in the hips. Like I said, difference is night & day for me after seeing a professional, but there will always be pain because I waited too long & I know I have arthritis in the joint now. My goals this year are to hit a 325 lb deadlift & 255 lb squat which is very attainable my doctor says. Something I never thought Id be able to do before getting help. Anyone who injures a joint, the best thing you can do is seek treatment right away. Don’t listen to “just rest”... if its out of alignment, your body will find a way to avoid using it which will result in imbalances & problems down the line. Glad you recovered well & stick to your exercises! I wanna take up running again, just too lazy to go in the cold right now lol
Can’t believe this group has these many people broke their hips, as young as early 20’s! Reminded me how important is good health. Thanks to you all for sharing your stories, so the rest of us can learn something from your experiences.
