Knee Stabilizers Are Here

These oysters are shucked. But you’re not!

Ability Medical Supply is your internet hook-up for almost anything a budding invalid could ever want. Add an inexpensive, yet most excellent, personal sound amplifier from Bell & Howell, and the world is your oyster, once again.

Whatever that means.

Actually, the phrase “the world is your oyster” was first coined by  William Shakespeare, as far as anyone can gather. In the Merry Wives of Windsor, the character Falstaff, speaking to the character Pistol, declares ”I will not lend thee a penny.” To which Pistol replies, “Why then, the world’s mine oyster, Which I will with sword open.” Act II, Scene II.

So you will note that the phrase, originally, did not simply mean that anything you desired in the world was available to you for the taking, but rather, that you would take by force that which was not offered freely to you. Knives shuck oysters, much as swords can actually open oysters, and split open the heads of those that that don’t cooperate with providing one’s desires.

Ability Medical Supply has very reasonable prices and quality merchandise. No need for any oyster shucking with swords here.

I recently injured myself at work and I am now in need of patella support and stabilization. There are two products carried by Ability Medical Supply that are also available from my physiotherapist’s office — at twice the price. I’m shopping here at Ability Medical Supply. I don’t enjoy being kicked when I am down, even if it is just in the pocketbook, not in the kneecap. You are already off work from an injury for Pete’s sake, so why on earth would someone gouge you for needed support?

Ability Medical Supply has my support. Check them out. It is unfortunate that their front index does not mention knee braces/stabilizers of any kind, yet they carry a healthy number of items. You might not be healthy, but the number of items… get it?

Tee hee.

Well get it. The price is right, and you are a cripple. Don’t cripple your finances as well by going to your local physio Shylock for items that you can get for half the price from Ability Medical Supply.

Punch in any knee phrase in the search box on their website, and voyla, knee braces galore. You can call it knee stabilizing, stabilizer knee brace, patellar stabilizer, patellar stabilizing brace, patellar brace, but ya doesn’t hafta call it Johnson.

Thank god.

If you have to look up Johnson on a medical website, you might be in for an eyefull. An eyefull tower, even.

Get it? Eiffel tower? Eyefull tower? Johnson?

No? Then you aren’t from North America, and you should sign up for my ESL survival video, where you learn to avoid the pitfalls of English As A Smutty Language. Stay safe. Be strong. Don’t mispronounce words and talk about dong. I will help you.

Check out my ESL blog post at this very website, Over The Hill Health Matters. Dot com.

Have a great day.

Pat.
