[Nfb-krafters-korner] yarn brands: what is good for what?

[River Woman]

Mine was injured by a new dog that we had picked up - she was dropped off in 
the woods by our house - she was a bit WILD and she extended my elbow in the 
wrong direcvtion - and it happened a number of times over a 2 year period - 
so my arm was really messed up.
The dog is pretty well trined now, but I am left with an injury that 
persists.  The ice wrap I got last week on line is really wonderful. If 
anyone is in need of such a thing, I found this one at:
http://www.proice.net
It is called a "Multi Purpose Cold Therapy Wrap." and it is really a nice 
one - you can use it anywhere on your body. ICE reduces swelling in the 
body, where heat causes the blood to become engorged and it causes more 
swelling usually. It is really hard tohold ice on something, so this wrap is 
just perfect. I can put it on my arm and just sit and watch tv for awhile as 
it does it's work. This wrap will be great for my knee too, I had a torn 
miniscus a few years ago, had surgery, and at times it hurts me, so I will 
have this wrap for that purpose, too.

Just wanted to pass along my experience with ice therapy in case someone 
else here might need some relief.  Lynda River Woman
