I have a sort of cure for poor range of motion. About 4 years after my right knee replacement, I had a little more than 90 degrees of bend, maybe 100 degrees. I had toe surgery for something unrelated and was wearing one of those orthopedic boots that keep you from moving your foot, and I went...

No, it did not take 18 years, but "getting better" was slow and steady. And for the second knee, I only spent 4 days in the hospital and then went directly home. For the first knee, they sent me home after 3 days when I had horrible abdominal pain, which they diagnosed as constipation. I was...

I was to the point where if I needed something like a gallon of milk, I would try to find a store where I did not have to walk far past the door and where I could park right in front. I also had trouble at work in a big office building making it to other people's desks and meetings without...

I spent most of my childhood and young adult summers at my parent's cottage on Lake Huron at the tip of Michigan's Thumb. The built a state park just down the beach from us in about 1961, and that brought a lot more inexperienced boaters. People used to load up small rowboats with 4-6 people...

I have two very old knees--left replaced in 2006 and right in 2009. I could barely walk with each before I had it replaced, but it was the best thing I ever did. My surgeon was a clinical professor of hip and knee replacement at the U of Michigan Hospital. I think he did an excellent job with...

Sorry, but I never used the showers or even the rest rooms at Gilbert Ray, but others can help you.

When I was at Picachio Peak, the showers were shut off. Toilets and wash basins worked. I think they were trying to save water, but it sounds like others have stayed there since then and were able to shower. You might want to call campground for recent information. There was no water...

We certainly have proven that you are never too old. Is this the forum where a few years ago, some guy wrote in saying his 72 year old mother wanted to buy a motorhome and travel by herself? He wanted to know if he should let her! I had to delete my first posting to respond to that!!! I also...

No showers available when I was there. Having showers does really help water problem.

Oh, and I love Piccachio Peak, but last spring (2023) their water was salty, so they required you to bring your own. Just checked and warning was still on site, so OK for a few days if you come in with a full tank, but otherwise, not. I was told then that their well had gone bad, and they had...

I stayed in A 70 last year with my 32' motorhome, no toad. In 2021, I stayed in A43. However, sites are tight. I dug out my old map where I had circled a couple of sites in C, but I read somewhere that C was closed for 2024, so you need to check that. I did find this site that lists sizes...

Right after I posted this question, I saw my neighbors ride their bikes in. One was a regular bike and the other was an electric trike. It has 20" tires and weighs 62 pounds without the battery, but I did not like the motorcycle-type twist throttle because I have slid my hand forward on my...

My fins are similar to the picture posted, but I have a white plastic tube that I am supposed to move up and down to control the temperature. Frankly, it does not seem like a very good system, but it does seem to work. Is it possible that moving the thermistor thing up or down on a fin would...

I don't plan to ever live in Florida, and I don't think an electric bike here needs a license anyway, even if it does have three wheels, because it is certainly not road-worthy. (I am just staying here for the winter and will be headed north in a couple of weeks.)

I'd also recommend the Furrion because it is a rear view camera as well as a backup camera, but mine was almost $600, not counting installation.
