Hi Cal, Medicare pays 12 weeks for cardiac rehab. There IS a phase 3, he's in phase 2, but nowhere around here. The doctor feels Joe will be ready for his shoulder surgery. It could be therapy is longer for that? Maybe it depends what was done, I think your shoulder was worse than his. Time will tell.

JP you said "Did you know that Florida is the only place in the world where crocs and gators share the same habitat?" I had no idea of that. Does it make a difference as to the water? I thought I read one time that one likes salt and the other fresh water?? Interesting.
Obsver, rehab/stressful for Joe, he loves it. Yesterday they upped his time again and also added some incline to the treadmill and he also does the bike. The streets around here have been bad for walking, so he's enjoying this.
Neat about your kitty Chippy, sure is pretty! It sounds like you have a lot of pet love going on there. "Other side". I got confused, do you have duplex, well side-by-side? I hope your Joe is ok! They should be able to get you mom straightened around too, hugs.
RA, have you ever checked Cabella's "bargain cave" on-line? If a person watches it you never know what you'll find. A few years ago I got Joe a really nice down jacket that comes down on the butt and has a hood for $39!! I got me one too for that price

They also have regular clothes in there.
I love the expression on Cole in that picture JP, almost like "What? Me?"
That picture of Honey from the front reminds me of those pajama bags kids used to (maybe they still do) get that had stuffed animal heads. Sort of round.
Awww Cal the dane that sat on his brother and broke him

Willi, the talk show -- someone mentioned Obama was on Ellen's show, I think it was that one. Getting settled in your new place?
