I’ve been thru bouts at least twice, with my feet. It sucks. Take care of yourself. I recently went back onto Facebook and a few times in this thread I’ve found myself wanting to click on the “like” button. I really hate that. ---

Don’t usually have extra money, but I sorta did this time, so I gave some. And then shared on Facebook (despite the site making that difficult by hiding the post button.) It’s not much, but I figured I could do it. Money for people in need \> money for people selling stuff. ---

Fellow knee sufferer, although not gout (please God, not gout, I promise I’ll eat my veggies). A little something. ---

I’m glad I was born in a country where a cure for cancer was free of charge. Of course our taxes are a bit on the fierce side, but I wouldn’t swap. I put in a bit with a feeling of paying back my luck. ---

That thing appears to be engineered elaborately enough to almost be worth what it cost. Hope it does what it’s supposed to do. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-not-able-to-walk-a-mod-approved-gofundme-post/788570.md?page=1)
