If anyone here is not using their Therabite, please consider sending them on to posters that can use one. I was able to IM a poster here on the boards that needed one and sent the one that Bill was no longer using or needing. It doesn't take much postage ...they are not heavy.
They can be cleaned easily and there are replacement pads available. I got Bill's from Ebay so that is a suggestion as well.
They are so expensive and in our case, even with good insurance coverage, the therabite was not covered. So, if you have one ...pay it forward.
