#NowPlaying Tusk Live by Fleetwood Mac on the Apple TV. With its powerful base beat this performance lends itself nicely to the new stereo pair of Apple 2nd Generation HomePod speakers.
I spotted my forearm crutches in the garage today as I headed for the charging station where the mobility scooter was located:I needed to bring in a 120 litre and 240 litre rubbish and recycling bins from the kerb some 50 metres from my front door. That sort of duty can't be done with the rollator walker but the scooter has hooks on the rear to carry walkers. These hooks are also OK for carrying the bins.
The smaller rubbish bin fits neatly inside the larger recycling bin, so I only needed one trip.
Upon my retureI tried walking a little bit with the crutches. It's a viable method as long as I don't need to carry any large or awkward objects. Movement with the crutches hurts the recovering knee less than using the walker.
@matigo Sometime last year Apple changed the way AppleCare+ worked, if you needed service instead of having to pay a fee and only being allowed 2 incidents per 12 months, they changed that to unlimited incidences of accidental damage.
@matigo Well, they ship with a complimentary 7-day AppleCare+ coverage, I've just checked the refurbished website and you can have AppleCare+ added up to 60 days after purchase.
Two deliveries expected today: a pair of Apple Refurbished 2nd generation HomePods and a height and width-adjustable armchair of the type used in the rehab hospital's gyms.
The price of the refurbished HomePods plus two years of AppleCare+ coverage is still less than the new cost of the two HomePods.
@variablepulserate Indeed. It's been beneficial for my lower back, too. I can stand over the kitchen sink without significant pain for a lot more the the previous 2 minute limit.
A week or so ago I struggled to complete the physiotherapist-specified exercises. Since then, I have increased the number of repetitions by ⅓ and increased the tension of the latex resistance bands I was using. It's all quite achievable now. In a week I'll be having a telephone interview with the local hospital organisation's physiotherapy clinic to determine my needs and frequency of attendance plus exercises needed. There is a cost associated with these sessions, not onerous, just $10 per session.
I had a thought, but unfortunately I had a second thought. They ricocheted off each other and I can't find either anymore.
@variablepulserate Something will it is inevitable with a project such as this.
