Hi Hap,


->  HN> Medical advances over the past 40 years or so have been tremendous,

-> Yes, I've been a beneficiary of some of them.

 HN> So have I my heart attack may have been much more serious if they
 HN> hadn't had all the new drugs and such!

And your getting to the hospital ASAP was a big help too.  A lot of
people try to brush it off as indigestion or similar and end up dying
for lack of medical attention.

->  HN> extended length of time! Are you still doing physical therapy for

-> Never did any PT on it.  I'm wearing my western boots today, no problems
-> with an aching foot.  I had to go down to Winn to see my surgeon--the
-> the radiation. As it looks now, I'll probably start the latter right
-> around the end of December or beginning of January. Gives me time to
-> work on stocking the freezer a bit more.

 HN> Then the foot is doing superb! For stocking up on "freezer meals" are
 HN> you thinking soups and stews?

Actually, today the foot is giving me problems. After wearing the boots
Friday with no problem, I wore heels all day yesterday & was on my feet
a lot Saturday.  The foot is letting me know it was "abused"; usually
the hurt stops after a certain amount of meds but it hasn't yet.

For freezer meals I'm thinking anything from chili to lasagne to orange
chicken and points between.  Went thru a cook book this morning marking
recipies; now I've got to assemble a shopping list. We'll probably hit
up the commissary Friday.


-> Sounds good to me.  I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow but probably
-> something that can carry us over for Sunday (and beyond).
 HN> ->
 HN> I'll "crock" it today and we'll have it for dinner tonight, and then
 HN> I'll split the remainder into two packs and freeze one. Right now the
 HN> Freezer has one pack of chili, one of squash soup, and is just waiting
 HN> for that pulled pork!

I presume the pork is in there now, just chilling with the rest of the
goodies.

->  HN> We have a dog, a bird, and a bunch of fish, but we still manage to

-> I presume you've got short notice pet sitters available.

 HN> Well the fish just need an extended feeder tablet dropped in...Jonesy
 HN> the african grey, is fine if we load up her trays with enough food for
 HN> a couple of days and sister in law lives near enough to visit her and

Sounds like a workable plan.

 HN> check on her if we are gone longer...and she also loves to sit with
 HN> scuppers...but we usually send scuppers to the puppy hotel  and he
 HN> loves it there!

Does he ever ask "hey Dad, when are you and Mom going away again so I
can go to the puppy hotel?" (G)

-> And I'll make it maybe once a month (or less).
 HN> ->
 HN> makes sense for us!

I could make it more often but then our waist lines would show the
effects.

->  HN> last night with grilled cheese (and ham) sandwiches.

-> Sounds good.  We had lunch at the Winn DFac.  The baked fish I had was
-> over seasoned mush; I told Steve I've been spoiled by good fish.  He had
-> a cornish game hen half, said it was OK but not great.

 HN> I like cornish game hens, teriyaki roasted!

I don't know if this had any seasoning on it or not. I just didn't want
to pick apart the half bird with all the bones.
