Courtney,
About those arm warmers, umm...after reading your excitement about, you know,...the color and the "cuteness". Well, at first I thought I want one of those. But then I remembered my first day of school. You see, I was the only boy in my family. And we didn't have much money, so hand me downs were the norm. I can still remember that feeling when I walked into the classroom in that haltertop. Sooo...do you think Target has some that maybe aren't so cute?
Just having some fun with you. Thanks for thinking of "us". I don't remember my arm feeling so cold last year. Maybe because it was my first winter with a bpi. This year it feels like a giant popsicle is attached to my shoulder. It must be because so much muscle has wasted away. There is very little left to produce heat I guess. But this is southern California. I can't even imagine what it’s like in say, Denver, or Canada, or somewhere really cold. I tip my hat to all that brave the colder climates. Maybe we need to post our favorite way to keep warm. But remember this is a family show...cheers...

Hey Court!!
Those arm warmers sound just great--poor David really seems to be affected by the cold weather--and we got snow in Maryland for the first time this season last weekend--I am going to dust myself right up to OUR local Target tomorrow morning and get him arm warmers for his Christmas stocking!! Thanks for the info!!!

Hey Courtney,
It is @##@ cold here in Canada. I live up north in Ontariariario and we get severe winters here. Yes, I agree with the fellow who said his arm felt like a popsicle hanging off hids shoulder. This injury is only 3 months old and feeling the coldness on my hand is brutal. What is Targets? I guess it is a clothing store? We don't have that particular store over here. Do they work? How much are they? If they really work, maybe we could work something out whereby you could send one my way? Anywho, hope they are doing the job for you. Thanks for the info kiddo. Talk to you soon.. By the way, the flickering is going down my forearm now. My PT felt a bit of movement in my wrist yesterday as well. Good ah!!!!
Talk soon. Love yeah, K.G.

HEY KAREN!! IT'S SUZIE!! a TARGET STORE IS AN "EVERYTHING STORE"--LIKE WALMART--DO YOU HAVE THOSE IN CANADA? I AM GOING TO CHECK A COUPLE OF OUR MARYLAND TARGETS TO SEE ABOUT THOSE ARM WARMERS FOR DAVID--HIS POOR ARM AND HAND SUFFER WITH THIS COLD TOO...WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I FIND THEM DOWN HERE--IF SO, I'LL PICK SOME UP FOR YOU!!

SO TICKLED TO HEAR THAT YOU MAY BE GETTING WRIST BACK!! HOW ABOUT THAT ELBOW-IS IT BENDING YET?? LET ME KNOW!!!

LOVE, SUZIE

They have the cutest warmers at Target and YES it is an everything store! Karen just say the word and Ill get some in the mail to you ASAP! Not a problem at all! Thanks for the links too Francine, though I have not lookad at them yet! I know that hand warmers arent good for me bacause I cant tell when they are tooo hot and Im scared of getting burnt as well. The arm warmers that i got are great! They block the cold breeze the blows through the bones! Again Karen let me know! MUMS THE WORD!

One more thing about these arm warmers, they are of a cotton/spandex material, not very thick but fit nicely under clothes. They also come up to the shoulder, for grownups! hahaha Looked at the links Francine posted and most only come up mid arm, mine are all the way up in my arm pit and thinner as well. They are not in place of a coat or anyhting but they are great! Ill keep ya postedon anything else that I find!
