============================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> Good to talk to you "for real" instead of thru the echo.
-> 
Did I sound right?? (grin)

->  hn> We're between Anne's appointments today. Anne
->  hn> gets her injection in a bit over an hour from now.
->  hn> Then we'll get some lunch!
-> 
-> And hopefully all has gone well, including the injection.
->
Still too early to tell, some relief, but some 
pain that she didn't experience from the first
injection as well.
 
-> -> Hope so. I know your frustration level is building.
-> 
->  hn> Not really, I'm not very optimistic that
->  hn> they will find something that can be dealt
->  hn> with. Which means I'll have to adjust to dealing
->  hn> with the pain on an ongoing basis...which I've
->  hn> already been doing for about a year now. My
->  hn> expectation is they'll go "it's in the bone" and
->  hn> the option they'll present will be knee replacement.
->  hn> I'm not ready for that by a long shot. So dealing with
->  hn> the pain issues is the most likely outcome. Med's won't
->  hn> be the answer for me so mostly it will be how
->  hn> high my pain management skills can take me.
-> 
-> OK, sounds like a plan you're comfortable with. I'd be hesitant on knee
-> replacement too, tho at one time I was thinking it would have been nice.
-> The first few years after I did my knee in it gave me a lot of trouble
-> but knee replacement wasn't an option then.  It's sort of stabilised now
-> for the most part; either that or other parts of the body hurt more and
-> I don't notice the knee as much.
->
Yeah, that part happens to all of us
at some point I suppose! 
 
-> -> 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.
-> 
->  hn> At the ballpark it's just in the way all the
->  hn> time and at home I simply don't use it.
->  hn> If I'm "out" and will be doing much walking
->  hn> I have one handy.
-> 
-> Good idea. Just don't try to eat a 2 handed sandwich while using the
-> cane.  It just doesn't work. (G)
->
Yep, I like to have hands free for those
sorts of things!
 
-> -> See the (inside of) the Knee day.  Just a bit over a week away now.
-> 
-> By the time this is uploaded, it'll be only 4 days away.
->
Get it Monday, so two days away. 
-> 
-> -> That's a help--bilingual in the language you need one staff.
-> 
->  hn> That and they pay them less than the Korean
->  hn> help.
-> 
-> Helped the store have a bit less overhead then.
-> 
-> -> Soon!  The last (optional) paper is being done tonight.
-> 
->  hn> Must be done by now!
->  hn> Have fun at the picnic!
-> 
-> We did!
-> 
Seems like it from the phone call! 
Who else did you get through to?
chat with you soon!
