I don't receive auto emails and I've posted a few times.

Will try the thread tools and see what happens.
Jenniky - Those distances are great. I was talking about walking around the neighbourhood. For a while there, until I found the Alexander Technique, by the time I got two houses away from home I was hunched over and my back was throbbing. Walking poles allowed me to walk for a period of about 25 minutes. We've been doing 35 minute walks lately without the poles and I am upright even at the end. Yes, keep up the good attitude and keep trying. I have finally found something that works for me and I am thrilled about it, even if it isn't covered by extended medical. AT is why I am quilting again after having to take the past several years off from it.
