Judy,
Sorry you're hurting but I think we'd all do the same thing. Years ago, a lady got her electric chair stuck in a ladies room. She could do nothing so I pushed, pulled, kicked and tugged until freeing it, paying the price later. Julius was upset with me but I'd still do it again if I could. We all would. Anyway, I do hope you recover quickly from this act of kindness.
As long as your hip pain is improving, it may just take some time but I'm not thrilled that it was recalled. I guess it's the wait and see game.
Maria, Earth magnets are available online. They're also called rare earth magnets. One side is green, the other red. I found the ones I have only on this website
Pain Relief & Vitality BioMagnet Kit. In fact, since both Julius and I lose them, I need more and will be ordering them myself.
Hope you both have a good day in this glorious Calif. weather.
Dale
