Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> 
-> ->  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.
-> 
Well, I wasn't that prompt in getting to the hospital....it took me about 5
hours for the pain to get unbearable enough that I sought medical attention
at my Dr's office! However once they had me in their control they really
did a job!

-> ->  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.
-> 
Why do you girls insist on wearing those torture devices? It's no secret
they are terrible for your feet and legs! 

-> 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.
-> 
->
When I am doing a big cook up I try to maximize my efforts, one crockpot
dish, one stove top dish (chili or such) and one oven dish. Start the crock
dish, then the oven dish, then finally do the stove top!
 
-> -> 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.
-> 
Ohhh yeah! (grin)

-> ->  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)
-> 
the "puppy hotel" is at our vet's office and when we take Scuppers there he
knows where the door to the "hotel" is and always heads straight for it!

-> 
-> -> 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.
-> 
-> 
I usually look for some embellishment when I cook game hens...
chat with you soon
