Carol Williams hi Carol... sad to report that I'm no where close to 100%. 50% at best right now and still using a cane. Full recovery will take a year according to my surgeon.

I didn't realize the recovery period was quite that long. I do hope it's better pain-wise than before!

I am enjoying learning about all of the apps that people use to make their lives easier!  Have you been able to get any of the newbies to stay active?

Oct 12, 2024 06:04 AM
Carol Williams

Hi Brian England 
I am enjoying learning about the variety of apps too.
For the most part, the newbies are silent. However, a few have at least acknowledged our comments on their blog, but not become active.
There are currently 307,725 members on AR. Whether newbie or not, very few of the total membership is active. That has never changed. All we can do is welcome them and hope they take the bait.

Thanks for the feature and good morning. I did comment on most of the posts.  Videos for me take too long as I can read in less than 5 minutes what a 15 minute video delivers.

Oct 12, 2024 08:38 AM

I am like you with videos, Leanne Smith but Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL does such an amazing job, making him a great mentor for those wanting to do videos.

Videos work for some and good to read that Joe does an exceptional job.
