Thank you! The string of beads I made from two bracelets is now wound around my ankle. I thought it wouldn't be comfortable, but it's fine. I hardly know it's there. It also does not snag on my sock the way I thought it might, so good on that score too.
Are the magnetic properties helpful? I got the bracelets for that reason; someone said that they helped with arthritis. I wore one for awhile, and then the string/wire holding it together broke, so I stopped. I didn't notice any help with arthritis, but my aches and pains are pretty minimal, at least for now.
I am really (really really) blessed with good health. I work at keeping it. Once it's gone, you usually can't buy it back.
