And the dog. You wouldn't think having a tendon cut would cause arthritis later, but I'm never quite sure how these things work. It astounds me that door didn't have safety glass. As for the leg brace, I remember it well, I stumped around New England in something very like it. <BR/><BR/>Boggart, 75-100 years ago I wouldn't be functional at all (arthritic knees apart, in the '20s and '30s, treatment for thyroid disorder was so unusual that Dorothy Sayers used it as the plot device in a Lord Peter Wimsey short story), so let's just not go there. I've been a history buff all my life, and also profoundly grateful, no matter how interesting the periods sound, that I didn't have to live there.hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696592301686568456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-89988812808248995982007-05-20T09:41:00.000-07:002007-05-20T09:41:00.000-07:00Hey, great story.

Now, that is scary.<BR/><BR/>I had a newish, to us, kitten dash across my forehead one morning while I was enjoying a lie in with the alarm clock turned off. Those little hind claws do take purchase. I told people I'd walked into a rose bush branch, because what really happened sounded, well, contrived. Plus, I looked like someone had taken a knife to my forehead. <BR/><BR/>She's turned into a really nice cat. Although, I now clip claws at regular intervals, and yes, occasionally she still dashes around like a mad thing. She just doesn't use my head as an obstacle course any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-70383558857621050922007-05-19T22:51:00.000-07:002007-05-19T22:51:00.000-07:00Hmm.
