Mike...let me say I know the situation....I have four ferts now, but when I only had two I had just gone through surgery for a broken leg and couldn't even walk without my crutches....boy they really had fun then...they would steal things right in front of me and I couldn't do a thing.....but let me say those hours of laughter really help curb all the pain I was in. And it made the surgery and the after effects of it go much smoother. Hope this helps you, I've been there and still am, at the moment I have four ferts and can walk, but not fast, still not able to run or jump, and when they take off with something, I just hope I can find it later.
