Hi Hap,

->  HN> Even the saddest of occasions often have a
->  HN> "good" side.

-> Very true, another good thing was that we missed the storm that hit this
-> past week end. NY is supposed to have some more miserable weather but
-> hopefully be sunny by the end of the week.

 HN> Luck was with you on that one!!

And we missed a storm that hit WF this past week end. But, it's quite
cold where we are--last night was down in the single digits.

-> Steve was doing a good bit of rinsing the past few days but I think he's
-> managed to knock out whatever was blocking up.

 HN> Anne is clear of the infection but there
 HN> is still plenty of drainage going on and
 HN> her Dr says it may continue for a couple
 HN> of weeks, so Anne is still rinsing several
 HN> times a day.

Steve is doing better so not rinsing quite as often. We're lacking hot
sauce right now but did have lunch at a Moe's Southwestern Grill where
he got some. Probably helped him. He was wearing a US Army, Retired cap
and one young man working the food line was asking about it. Steve told
him he'd served 26 years--when we got to the cashier, she said Steve's
lunch was paid for by this young man. Nice!


->  HN> My dental issues go pretty deep and
->  HN> were very severe. My dentist specializes
->  HN> in pepole like me and he's VERY good...
->  HN> but it's still (and always will be) a
->  HN> big issue for me. They do what they

-> Nice to have a dentist that's so understanding. I saw in a post to Nancy
-> that he's a dental trauma specialist--sounds like just what you need.

 HN> I've been going to him for about 30 years.

Hopefully he won't retire before you do.

-> Both involve leadership but have differing objectives.

 HN> quite different.

Things are on a sort of hold tho until he gets some back issues
resolved. He's seeing an orthopedic doctor in the same clinic I went for
my wrist.

->  HN>  The normal fasting blood sugar for women is said to be around 83
->  HN> mg/dl or less, and the same for men is said to be around 90-130
 HN> mg/dl.
->  HN> However,
->  HN> normal fasting blood sugar for children is slightly on the higher
 HN> side
->  HN> and is said to be around 100 mg/dl. It is important to know the
 HN> normal
->  HN> levels of
->  HN> fasting blood sugar in children, so as to keep an eye out for the

-> Interesting, sounds like I'm actually on the normal side of the numbers
-> then. I can't recall having any fasting blood work done as a child; I
-> guess it's not normal to do so unless diabetes is suspected.

 HN> I think that's the way it's done.
 HN> When I suspected that I was
 HN> "going over the line" I had to
 HN> insist on getting the A1C done
 HN> for reference purposes.

Good thing you did. My PCM  thought she'd checked the box on my lab
tests form (did for Steve) but missed it for me (or the lab missed it if
she did) so it didn't show up until the pancreatitis set in.

->  HN> Even BETTER than a church rummage sale!!

-> Very much so; we're rounding up another load of things to bring in. The
-> school also has a Manna Ministry in the same building, same hours. Very
-> often there are several different types of breads, bagels, English
-> muffins, sandwich rounds, doughnuts, cake or cupcakes and doughnuts
-> available for taking as well. It was a big help for the time after I had
-> my wrist surgery and not able to do the bread making I usually do.

 HN> and you can have some confidence
 HN> that the bread is not chock full
 HN> of "stuff" that the commercial
 HN> varieties have.

This is commercial stuff, day old, that is collected and distributed for
free. We can get good stuff but the plain white stuff is available for
those that like it.
