But because I thought I might want to occasionally read books from the library (not supported as yet by Kindle), I ended up buying a refurbished Nook from the Barnes & Noble store on eBay.<br /><br />The Nook also has a lend me feature that allows you to lend ebooks to others (assuming the particular ebook has the capability enabled).<br /><br />We don't full-time yet (one day), but I'm already set with my lightweight travel library.Walthttp://fromoutofleftfield.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-81256091309194927002011-05-17T08:52:40.471-07:002011-05-17T08:52:40.471-07:00Here's my easiest knee straightening exercise:...Here's my easiest knee straightening exercise: push away the footstool. That's right move it further from your chair until just your heel is resting on it. Your suspended leg will gradually straighten a bit more each time. You can add a soft weight to the knee to encourage this. After a bit move the stool back in and ice the knee. Do not ice while suspended as ice causes contraction.<br /><br />Also, sleep on your back if you can. When we sleep on our sides we tend to curl up rather than straighten out.Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-88736449962003658312011-05-16T20:52:32.620-07:002011-05-16T20:52:32.620-07:00So glad to hear all this good news for both of you...So glad to hear all this good news for both of you.

I especially like having several books available depending on the mood I'm in and I LOVE having a dictionary with one click. I could always figure out what a word meant because of the context where it was used, but now, with one click, I can KNOW what it means!! I love that!<br />By the way--if you're around Bend Oregon the first weekend in August, we are all going to be there (Ron, Shari, Matt, Brian and I) to celebrate birthdays and then Shari is off to India for a few weeks.<br />hugs,<br />donnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-42282974621684879082011-05-15T23:33:52.400-07:002011-05-15T23:33:52.400-07:00Great to hear you're feeling better.
