Back in high school my Dad called Mom from work and asked what she was doing to shrink his socks! He ended up having nephritis from undiagnosed strep. With the RSD my legdon't balloon like his did but I'd like to know whose shrinking my shoes every day! Would something like a "Lawn Buddy" help with not having to stoop so far? It's on wheels and is a good sitting height and stores small gardening equipment. It's so hard to try to do something you enjoy when it brings pain and complications. Wish I had a magic wand to making her swelling go away. LYNNIE "ONE MOMENT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING!"
