Sharing
Our well-loved personal assistant Louise Andersen is recovering from surgery after a serious injury to her leg. She shared the benefits of a zero-gravity outdoor lounge chair when one needs to elevate one’s leg. And a reminder that Louise and others can borrow medical equipment from our “lending library” staffed (and at the home of) Joe Garcia.
