Dead, hug, and my beloved late grandma from Heaven is looking down on you with a smile. She LOVED Reese's! I hope you enjoyed yours.
Dear Lynn, I am also so grateful you have Dave in your life. He absolutely sounds like a wonderful friend and handyman, too. Please send me some of your sunshine! Definitely enjoy it my friend,
Footballmouse, you please be well of course too. How are baby Mia doing and Remy the cat?
Thanks dear Bobbi so much. I am so grateful PT went well and that you have an outing tomorrow may it be fun. How is Tom?
I did call City Hall Social Services earlier and am waiting to be contacted back by an agency who may have some suggestions. In the meantime, I also reached out to and emailed at the recommendation of their office staff, two neighborhood churches for any ideas they may have and prayers, of course, too. I will keep trying other options as the day goes on. God willing I will have a positive update to share later. Thank you all always for your prayers, belief in me, and loving support!

and prayers, Dznymemories and a big welcome to our kind thread, too! 
or 
calling or looking up options to get me down (and back up) the stairs. God led me to reach out to a local church this morning. When I called the church office, the person who answered suggested I email the pastor which I did. This afternoon, I received a very kind email and later spoke with a member, T, of that congregation who works for the pastor it sounded like in the community resource field. T said she knows all-too well the limitations of wearing a boot since she needed one for over a year due to a couple health issues, yikes. I can't even imagine. She kindly offered to help me (with a friend of hers, if necessary, too) down the stairs and back up. She said she also has an SUV which dad and I realized may make my transport easier than our cars or more of a challenge if there is a step into the van, I can ask her. Regardless, it was a lovely gesture and great to have a welcome to a prospective new church that God willing one Sunday this year I will feel comfortable checking out a service from. Meantime, I can do so virtually one week. We left at it, T saying she will look into some other options for me. The cheapest non-emergency medical transportation I have found thus far starts at $350!
More than the podiatrist would charge! This would be for something called a stair chair where two people would carry me/help me down the stairs on some type of chair. I am guessing a non-electric version of the chair lift at church. This would be ideal except for the cost! 
note, dad and I have been renting a recliner chair for me to sleep in for the last several months. We need to renew our contract by Thursday to keep it one last month. God willing it can finally be returned in April. Dad and I have both tried to call the company we are renting the chair from. I have tried probably a dozen times now over the past two days and dad has tried a couple of times, Either the phone endlessly rings or we get the automated message that tells us that the number has a full mailbox and is not accepting messages! Dad was clever and looked up a business close to the medical supply store where we got the chair from. The lady he spoke with said she works remotely but that her husband would look into whether the medical supply store was still around and let us know. The website indicates this company has been in business since 1917--the year my beloved late Grandpa Sam was born. Grandma Dolores was born in 1918, It is just so very strange that no one answers the phone and that there is no business message! Dad and I sure don't think they want to gift us their expensive chair! I guess we will find out. The store is a good half hour+ from us so not close by or convenient to drive over too, It's also in a busier part of the city with more traffic. We will try to call them again tomorrow! We can't do much more just very odd! Has anything like this ever happened to any of you? 
always! I'm not a fan of driving in a storm either. Please be careful, my friend. I have indeed been so blessed by God to have met a lot of kind people on my feet journey. Today, I will make more calls to try and find an affordable stair chair option. Go from there. Extra grace of God to have options and forever to know He has long had this and forever has me. He, of course, loves dear you, too.
I would love to enjoy some pancakes with both of you one day
