Hi Hap,

->  hn> wait until I had hours that matched the
->  hn> scheduling folks!

-> That could be more of a pain than the knee.  While we were out this
-> afternoon, Steve suggested I call my new doctor to see if I could get
-> would probably not be effective.  Got in just after 5, called and found
-> they closed at 5.  I'll try tomorrow morning.

 hn> One word....cellphone! (grin)

Had it (it's my only phone) but not the number.  Called yesterday, can't
get a pescription w/out seeing the doctor.  So, it'll be Plan B and
hopefully it'll give some relief.

->  hn> experience...most likely similar to
->  hn> a CAT scan.

-> That's probably the best way to describe it.  No special "eat" or "don't
-> eat" X hours before the proceedure as a general rule.  I've had one MRI

 hn> Yep, they issued no special instructions
 hn> other than show up about 15 min early.

To fill out paperwork.

->  hn> way I am..the pain is significant and
->  hn> walking with a limp and a cane is no
->  hn> fun! No biking and it cuts into exercise.
->  hn> Which leads to more weight gain...sigh.

-> I know the feeling--I'm not running stairs like I was in HI and GA so I
-> have to watch how much I eat.  It wasn't bad when we first moved in with
-> the unpacking but that's pretty well done...........I actually got a
-> small sewing project done on Saturday, first time since February I could
-> really have the time to sew.

 hn> I've got to be much more careful
 hn> or I'll gain back all that I've lost.
 hn> Some of which has already happened. (sigh)

It's all to easy to.  I think I've added a few pounds, but not even 5,
which is good.  Putting the house "together" has been a big help there
but sometimes I eat too much to make up for it.  I'll cut back over the
next day or so.

->  hn> Biggest thing to remember is to be
->  hn> pro-active...and stand your ground

-> We did, we did not like the primary care doctor in town so put in a
-> request the next day for a change--and got it.

 hn> Smart move.

It was interesting; we both had the same strong negative reaction to the
doctor.  I thought I was over reacting but Steve agreed that this one is
not the doctor for us.

->  hn> sure you speak up for it (and yourself)!

-> I will; I've several issues the first doctor just blew off.

 hn> A doc that doesn't listen isn't worth paying
 hn> good money for!

Definatly not!  I think he thought since he was the doctor, he knew what
was best without going into too much of our recent medical history.

->  hn> Right after Anne gets "out" for the summer
->  hn> she heads off to Yakima (eastern side of the
-> Isn't that apple (and Mt. St. Helens) territory?

 hn> Apple,Apricot, Peaches, cherries, nectarines
 hn> etc...yep...Mt St Helens is south and east
 hn> of Yakima...but the wind blows from her
 hn> straight to Yakima so when she burps it all
 hn> goes straight to Yakima!


Thought that name sounded familiar.  I've seen bags of apples labeled as
from the Yakima valley, as well as baskets of cherries.

->  hn> state) for 5 days of "mentoring academy" a

->  hn> who mentor others and are influential in making

-> So her influence will be in the class room long after she's retired.  A
-> couple of weeks ago, Rachel called me to let me know that David was
-> asked to sit on the board of directors for Challenger Schools that sets
-> their philosophies.  Quite an honor since he's only been with them for 3
-> years.

 hn> Congrats to him!

I'll pass the word to Rachel.


-> -> pool. Go figure, I had German measles and couldn't go.

->  hn> Ain't that always the way it
->  hn> goes? (grin)

-> Perfect example of the law of "go figure" IMO.

 hn> We've all been subject to that law at times!

Yes, and I gave it a a name after having it influence me.

->  hn> side of the state....but we'll manage
->  hn> some fun this summer I'm sure!

-> Including a trip or two to see Amanda, I'm sure.

 hn> One, at the end of July/beginning of August.
 hn> We are going to surprise Anne's mom and take
 hn> her along as well....I'll drive down a few days
 hn> in advance, and the girls will fly down. I'll pick

Sounds like fun.  Does Anne's mom know she's going?



-> ->  hn> Don't like em...but if I need em I'll use em!!
