Hello, After noticing how large the group is, I feel better that I am not the only one who gets so much from your experience, but hesitates to share. I am really happy that my predecessor in the job encouraged me to join this group. I wonder if you can give me some ideas with the case of my consumer. At first she thought she only needed to work on cooking skills, but now I realize that she needs more of the house keeping skills. As we began to discuss it, she told me that she avoids certain tasks because of her back pain. Do you know of tools that I can have her use that would not worsen her back problems? She has low vision, she's seriously over weight and working on weight loss. She has a very noticeable hand trimmer, but she does excellent craft work. I am particularly concerned about keeping her bathroom as germ free as possible, but you know that entails a considerable amount of bending, stooping... Thanks for all you can do to help me.

Does anyone know how many subscribers there are on our VRT list? I sent an email a couple of weeks ago to a contact provided to me by Maureen Duffy, re-sent it again a few days ago, and have not received an answer to my inquiry about subscribers. So I'm putting it out to all of you. Thanks Roberta McCall, CVRT 517-335-7231 mccallr@xxxxxxxxxxxx
