    Medical appliances needed for personal survival

    In another thread on job skills as I replied I listed my drawbacks. One of those was my vision isn't what it once was and another was having a number of broken bones over the years from horses. This led me to consider what medical appliances I use daily that may not be readily available when TSHTF. First thing is eyeglasses; I usually get 3 packs of 1.75 reading glasses at China Mart. I'm currently down to my last pair out of the 3 pack and so need to stock up again. When I do, I'll buy several 3 packs of 1.75s as well as 2.00s and 2.25s anticipating that my eyesight will continue to get worse as I age.

    I have several crowns on my teeth, so I need to have cement to glue them down should they come loose. I also think I may look for a pair of crutches at garage sales in case of injury requiring me to stay of a foot. Those are the only ones I could think immediately, but I'm sure the brain trust we have here will give more insight into this topic.

    What about you? Do you have medical appliances you need other than what I covered, Also remember that appliances covers many things other than machines.
