Small Town, USA

We live in a small town attitude in
Bonner county. It can be a curse,
and it can be a joy.

Yesterday it was a joy.

We were at the hospital in the
morning to see the galpal. The
therapist was there and telling about
what equipment that was needed before
she went home. For the home. The King
and I said... will do.. we will find it.
And find it we did.

Her cousin had one piece. There was
a second hand store that when we said
what was needed, the gal went to her
pickup which hadn't been unloaded yet,
pulled out a walker. 2 down and 2 to go.

And this is where small town USA comes
in. We went to another second hand store
in Sagle. Mrs. Robertson told us about a
program that is in effect. She told us when
they get in health care equipment they send
it to a place. That place makes it available
for those of need. Only string attached is
when you are finished with it, you return it.
No cash needed.

So the King went off at 1pm.. and sure
enough the story was true, and they had
the 2 remaining items. Plus they had a
fold up walker.

That place that loans out health care
equipment, at no charge.... is Lifecare.
So in 3 hours or less, we had all of the
equipment for galpal to head home.
With any luck that will be tomorrow.

Small town USA, working together,
everyone was on board to make it
happen. Thanks everyone.
