Hi ruth,

->  RH> My grandmother's clock was electric.  That white noise generator
->  RH> sounds like a
->  RH> good idea. Is it helping Steve conk out?  It can't be too easy in
 RH> the brace.

-> It helps both of us to sleep better. I originally started using one when
-> he got his CPAP machine several years ago, now can't sleep well without
-> one. We have one that has an alarm clock and radio features, also one

 RH> That must be making for an interesting bedtime. The brace plus the
 RH> CPAP. He
 RH> must look like Bane from the Batman movies, albeit with more
 RH> hair.(LOL)

Couldn't tell you; I've never seen the movies. Besides that, when I'm
asleep my eyes are shut & I don't see him, seldom hear him.

-> with just the clock and battery operated that we take for trips. Steve
-> is taking the narcotic and nerve calmer at night to help sleep better;
-> he went about 7 hours straight the other night. Usually he's wakened
-> several times during the night but not all related to the brace.

 RH> Ugh.  It helps if your airway isn't closing up on you.  I don't do all
 RH> that well at getting at least 7 hours either.

Doing for both of us is getting me more tired out so I get to sleep
fast. I usually wake up once or twice during the night but not for long.

->  RH> He's definitely feeling better then.  As long as he's coming at the
->  RH> dinner bell he can't be too badly off!

-> And, I'm trying to get out of a rut with cooking--trying some new
-> recipes, taking advantage of farmer's market buys on greens, etc so that
-> we both won't get tired of the same old thing. Lowe's had a sale on
-> porterhouse steaks the day we went so we got 2, one for the freezer, one
-> to cook. We grilled it last night & had it with sauteed vidalia onion,
-> red & yellow bell peppers & sliced mushrooms, also tossed salad, and
-> prebaked portions of white potato for me, sweet potato for him. Very
-> filling meal, actually on the low end of the carb scale.

 RH> Except for the potato, it would be.  Can you get the Japanese ones
 RH> there? They're yummy.  Drier and less sweet than the American ones.  I

Probably can, but I don't care for sweet potatoes/yams. A few months ago
I baked up several Irish potatoes and split them into roughly 15 carb
portions, then individually wrapped and froze them. I'll grab one of
those when I fix sweet potatoes for Steve.

 RH> find them here at Whole Foods. Dunno where they fall on the carb scale
 RH> though.

I'm not sure either, and won't bother checking right now but may, at
some point.
