Hi Michael,

 RH> and fridge. One of the criteria I set for the housing w looked for in
 RH> WF was that it have a dishwasher.

 ML> Rosemary here in Rhode Island just got a new dishwasher;
 ML> things washed in it taste different (worse) than dishes
 ML> washed in the old one did. Hand-washed are the best, as I
 ML> can rinse them until there is no residue. I don't think
 ML> I've found a dishwasher that doesn't leave residue unless
 ML> it's set for at least one clearwater rinse after the
 ML> normal cycle. Even squeaky clean glasses have an off
 ML> taste. Most restaurants are irritating that way, including
 ML> the hoity-toity ones.

Ours has at least 2 rinses; I'm not sure which one dispenses the rinse
agent. I don't generally taste it so I presume the 2nd rinse gets rid of
it.


 RH> And, doing better every day. I think he's only had one narcotic pain
 RH> pill today but still being bothered by itching under the bandaging.

 ML> Did they give any tips on dealing with that - hot or cold
 ML> packs or something like that?

He's using benedryl, cold packs and cortesone spray. Said it's beginning
to subside somewhat now.

 RH> So we're out a couple of times a day if we can, nothing too long each
 RH> time. Just before lunch and after Jeopardy seem to be good times to do
 RH> so as the morning and evening clean ups are done and it's before I get
 RH> into much of anything else.

 ML> Taking it slow but not slacking is a good thing: I would guess
 ML> that for him the former is more of a challenge than the latter.

Definately a challenge to slow him down but he realised he needed to
last week. Today we made it around the block; I think he wants to take
on more distance but is holding back until he sees the doctor tomorrow.
He will most likely trade the walker for a cane then. Helps him work up
an appetite and he's gad not to be eating hospital food. (G)
