Hi there Picnicers!!
->

->

-> -> got to fit a dress bodice Monday and get it cut out before we leave on
-> -> before it gets delivered. Then a week to make some summer outfits for
-> -> Sarah before we take off again.  I'm not keeping busy, am I?
->

-> 
-> A double ouch day.

We're between Anne's appointments today. Anne
gets her injection in a bit over an hour from now.
Then we'll get some lunch!

Not really, I'm not very optimistic that
they will find something that can be dealt
with. Which means I'll have to adjust to dealing
with the pain on an ongoing basis...which I've 
already been doing for about a year now. My
expectation is they'll go "it's in the bone" and
the option they'll present will be knee replacement.
I'm not ready for that by a long shot. So dealing with
the pain issues is the most likely outcome. Med's won't
be the answer for me so mostly it will be how 
high my pain management skills can take me.
 
-> -> surprised to see me using a cane.  Usually I'm seated & it's stowed
-> -> before she gets there & she leaves before I do.  I told her I've had it
-> -> since August of 06. (G)
-> 
->  HN> I try not to use mine...and I've only
->  HN> HAD to use it a few times.
-> 
-> Inside most of the time I don't use it.  Too hard to cook one handed for
-> one. (G) Outside on uneven or unknown ground, after dark, etc--use it so
-> I have an extra prop.
->
At the ballpark it's just in the way all the
time and at home I simply don't use it.
If I'm "out" and will be doing much walking
I have one handy.
 
-> ->  hn> me bad dreams (worse than eating spicy food!) and
-> ->  hn> doesn't seem to do much for the knee. The pain may
-> -> So when is the bone scan set for?  And no eating spicy foods the same
-> -> nights you use the vicodin. (G)
-> 
->  HN> Bone Scan on June 7, the day after D-day
->  HN> will be Knee day!!
-> 
-> See the (inside of) the Knee day.  Just a bit over a week away now.
-> 
-> -> Does it have a rice cake maker like the H Mart that Dale & Gail go to?
-> -> That thing is neat!  The store is the size of a good sized supermarket.
-> 
->  HN> I don't know, they used to have a fortune cookie maker
->  HN> but I don't usually go into that part of the store
->  HN> very often.
-> 
-> That would have been fun to watch, like the crepe maker in the Frankfurt
-> Sudbanhof.  Our girls loved to watch him.
-> 
Those sorts of machines are fun to watch!

-> -> Sign of a good thing.  Makes you wonder if some of the Koreans are 
now
-> -> learning Spanish to be able to help the Mexicans better.
-> 
->  HN> GRin, NOpe, but they have started hiring some
->  HN> of them!
-> 
-> That's a help--bilingual in the language you need one staff.
->
That and they pay them less than the Korean
help. 
 
-> ->  hn> Study hard, play hard!!
-> 
-> -> I'm done; Steve is done with Evangelism & choir.  His Hebrew is a take
-> -> home; he's almost done with that.  Ethics is in class on Monday;
-> -> Evangelism is an on line, to be done no later than Tuesday night.
-> 
->  HN> Well then, time to Party!
-> 
-> Soon!  The last (optional) paper is being done tonight.
-> 
-> 
Must be done by now!
Have fun at the picnic!
chat with you soon!
