How long is it? I have dial-up (live in the boonies and nothing else is available...) and I started to download it but it looked like it might take hours. Not that I don't have plenty of time-I just wasn't sure if it was worth having my line tied up for that long. Let me know if it is... I'm always ready for a good "read."

I guess that was "top of the line" treatment back then? Thank God for our medical advancements. Thanks for that blast from the past, Pam!

It's downloading now... will only take 6 minutes total, it looks like, so that's really good.

Yep, Lisa ... as far as we still have to go, we've made leaps and bounds.
I wonder how much of "The Guide" still applies to Boston brace wearers: I just remember how awful the "skin toughening" process was - and HOW important it was to keep that undershirt from bunching!
This brings back lots of memories. I had a boston brace w/milwau. top bars for several years. Lots of memories of my father with the bottle of rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. He didn't know how fast I was! That alcohol burned. I had a scar for years and years where a pad on the inside burned and I stuck things down my brace and scratched!! I don't think we ever got anything in writing about the brace. I sure hoped some things have changed!!

Wore Milwaulkee brace from 6th grade until 11th grade. Surgery was scheduled Oct. 1983, did not go through with it.
