Hi Hap,

->  hn> Dunno, have not had the first meeting with
->  hn> the Radiologist yet...sometime in Nov I

-> Should be setting that up within the next few weeks so it can go on the
-> calendar.

 HN> I'm guessing so...they will call us to set
 HN> up the appointment. I'll just wait for the
 HN> call. Anne's Oncologist is VERY on top
 HN> of her treatments and won't let anything
 HN> slip by.

Good for her! We're still looking for a new PCM.

->  hn> suppose. We've got enough on our plate
->  hn> right now to keep up with...I just wait
->  hn> till they tell me "it's time"!

-> I know, hurry up & wait. We're going to give a new doctor a visit in the
-> next couple of weeks--see how we get along with & can work with each
-> other. Hate to change but need to as our current one will be out of the
-> Tricare network as of Nov. 1 and I need aa doctor I can work with, not
-> fight.

 HN> Yep and one that understands that
 HN> YOU understand what's going on
 HN> with your health!

Very important, that one. Don't need a doctor who doesn't look at your
prior medical records and thinks he knows all that is needed to treat
you. Had to fill out some paperwork giving a brief past history but not
involved enough to really go into issues. I think he glanced at them and
figured we were routine basic care patients. I did talk to someone else
(a couple of weeks ago) who had the same impression several years before
we did. She did not sign on with him as PCM either.


->  hn> Whoa!! No need to start swearing!! Ironing
->  hn> board....YIPES!! (grin) INDEED!!
 HN> ->
-> No swearing, just firm reprimands to a curious toddler. Didn't have the
-> cutting table then; it came while we were in AZ. Keeping an ironing set
-> up started in HI when I began to do a lot more quilting. Lots of
-> pressing there.

 HN> There you go, swearing again!! Ironing board!
 HN> and even pressing!! Such horrible language!!
 HN> I try to avoid those words at all costs!
 HN> Like other swear words...work...job....
 HN> lawncare...

Dishes, running the vaccuum, laundry--all those dirty words? (G)

->  hn> It was Greek Festival Week last weekend.
->  hn> We drove by the Greek Orthodox (well the
->  hn> MAIN one in town) church and there was
->  hn> eating Baklava hard!!)

-> Again, maybe next year. Do you usually go to the festivals? We actually
-> were on the way to a different place (probably more expensive) when I
-> spotted this one. Figured if it was relatively quiet (yes), good food
-> (had better, had worse), decent price (definately) it was worth a try.

 HN> There are a few festivals we like to
 HN> visit...and the Greek one is a very
 HN> good one, and Anne LOVES Greek food!
 HN> (except lamb).


We probably should get out to more of them than we do. School schedule
(especially for Steve) is so demanding tho, the time isn't there. He
will take me to get groceries but study while I shop.

->  hn> part and I'm sticking with things
->  hn> that are "tried and true" at this point.

-> Maybe next year. I'd be hurting if I couldn't have fresh fruits and
-> veggies; guess I could go with all frozen or canned (not my choice for
-> most) if I had no choice.

 HN> If I can cook it she can have it...but
 HN> I do my best to keep her diet as varied
 HN> and healthy as I can. Dr thinks I'm doing
 HN> a great job...and Anne's not had to go
 HN> to the hospital once so far..though
 HN> it was "touch and go" once.

Work with what she likes, toss in some extra goodies and serve it up
with love. That'll keep her (and you) going.
