Just checking back in to say - GO CJ GO!!!!!!!!!!!! This little guy tugs at my heart because we went through a similar situation 2 years ago with my nephew's little girl. She is truly a miracle child. While not expected to live and to be a mental vegetable if she did, she is now at 2 far ahead of her peers. Miracles happen, we just need to believe.

Thanks for the input. Electrolux is relatively new to washers & dryers, true, and I realize it's no Miele. But it does seem to be more favorably rated than LG, Samsung, etc. I also realize it's luck of the draw in regards to getting a lemon. Well, I think I'm going to go with the Electrolux and the extended warranty - it will fit better in the space we have and it's a few hundred less than the Costco Maytag Bravo set (even with $500 off). I don't need a ton of features -- one washer I viewed had 92 different settings. The novelty of that would disappear when one of the 92 "features" breaks. ;) If anyone has any other input I would welcome it! Thanks.

I just watched CBS This Morning, which I record to watch later, and they had a segment on Social Security scam calls, which is exactly what I received. They said that the calls originate from India and that the Department of Justice is filing for temporary restraining orders against U.S. telecom carriers allegedly facilitating hundreds of millions of scam robocalls, including this one. It's too late for some people, including a woman in Utah who gave $150,000.00 to the scammers before admitting this to her husband. She should have consulted with him before she gave away all of their cash. I can understand how people may fall for this scam, as the callers are extremely intimidating and ruthless. However, I am not easily intimidated by legal threats, as I tend to do very well in court, and so those kind of threats do not bother me - I do not even need to call Perry Mason.

Well, this thread has been so helpful for me getting ready for DH’s outpatient surgery this coming Monday morning (7/14). I went ahead and bought this amazing bed pillow package via A….n. DH is very impressed with the quality, although he doubts he will need them all. We’ll see, though. I can see myself using some while reading in bed once he’s rehabbed. Ded, his sling looks like yours, but has a rectangular soft pillow to fit under his upper arm right under the shoulder.
