My friend broke his leg and is recovering from surgery. I’m putting together a basket of goodies and am looking for recommendations. If you have broken your leg, please let me know if there were items that helped make your recovery easier — a special pillow or chair, nice chocolates, etc.

My friend is in his late 40s and my budget is around $100.

Got this email from Trimet:

Decision-makers are asking Oregonians to share how they think transportation dollars should be spent in the future. TriMet relies on state funding, and your feedback could help preserve our service for generations to come.   Now is the time to speak up. Tell them Oregon needs reliable public transit**.**

Here's some suggested copy for the blank survey portion:

*Funding TriMet should be a top funding priority for our region. TriMet is essential infrastructure that connects people to jobs, school, health care, local businesses, community services and each other. For me, maintaining and investing in a strong public transit system is the #1 priority.**Cuts to transit service don’t just affect people who ride the bus or MAX every day. They affect traffic, access to opportunity, our economy and the overall livability of our region. Reliable, frequent and accessible transit gives people more choices and helps ensure that getting around isn’t dependent on owning a car.*I strongly support finding sustainable, long-term funding for TriMet that protects service and allows the system to continue serving a growing region. I would much rather see public dollars invested in keeping transit frequent, reliable and available than see our region lose service that can be extremely difficult to restore once it’s gone.
