RE: OT Fridge with drawers

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Just a note here from me....

I have not yet caught up with this thread yet but thought to I might
mention...

Quite a few years ago I had a back "problem", collapsing in
public, that
sort of thing...I eventually had a spinal-fusion operation, 4 little metal
plates and a whole load of mixed up cow bone all holding my spine together,
not fun at the time but on the whole I am a lot lot better for the opp.

Just thought I would mention it in case you are ever offered the opp and
are
nervous about it, be nervous, it is bloody painful, but I am very happy
with
the results.

Lastly, I believe HA designed to help people who are less able is a
fantastic way to use technology!
Not sure if that reads properly but I am sure you all know what I mean.

Thanks,

B.
