 RH>> I think she'll be doing very little. Biggest thing needed is the ramp

 NB>> Next visit, you may be greeted by one... ;)  With her less mobile,

Can't do everything at once... Deborah did well, sounds like...  :)

 NB>> Not so good.  And the fracture we know about, and the strokes we
 NB>> suspect, in her case...

 RH> All in all, not too well. We'd told them repeatedly about my wrist
 RH> surgery, called after we got home Friday, etc. Still, first thing
 RH> out of her (on Skype Tuesday) was "What's with the bandage on the
 RH> wrist?"--sigh!
 
She's probably still on a significant amount of painkillers...? 
Telling/hearing and seeing are different brainpaths, too...

 RH>> paperwork but all you did was sign in with your time arrived/time
 RH>> scheduled. For that, 10 minutes early was 9 minutes more than needed
 RH>> but 30 minutes was ridiculous.
 NB>> Perhaps you have more of your information already in their computer.

 RH> Not really, I'd never had contact with them before. OTOH, the
 RH> cardiologist I saw on Tuesday had all my Wake Med records.
 
We've got a computer data network in Rochester that is supposed to make
it easier for the different providers to get information from each
other... maybe there's something similar where you are...?

 NB>> gingerale (all their juices had apple in them), just because I was
 NB>> so thirsty afterwards...  :)

 RH> They only offered me soda so I guzzled one glass of diet Coke, working
 RH> on a 2nd as I was discharged.
 
Guess you were thirsty, too... :) 

 RH>> I'll have a couple of weeks to get my appetite back before we go
 RH>> out for our anniversary later this month. (G)
 NB>> That will be plenty of time... :)

 RH> Yes, just have to figure out where we want to go now. Maybe our
 RH> favorite Indian place, maybe some place new.............

Both have their promising aspects... :)

... 'tis not the meat, but 'tis the appetite make eating a delight.
