Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Quality time with friends is a nice bonus indeed.  :)  It's good
 NB> that  NB>> they can keep filling in for the longer trips until Steve
 NB> gets the  NB>> go-ahead for longer driving, too... :)

 RH> Yes, so far we have only 2 out of wf trips scheduled. One is down to
 RH> Raleigh so it's not too bad but the other is over to Chapel Hill. That
 RH> one we figure on several hours (hour travel each way plus lunch and
 RH> doctor's appointment).

 NB> That gives Lots of time for visiting with your helpful friends... :)
 NB> If they have any errands to run in or about Chapel Hill, they could
 NB> piggy

Possible, but my appointment there is scheduled for the day after
Steve's next one with his doctor & he may get the clearance to drive
that far. He's talking about going down to Raleigh before he sees his
doctor as we we want to go to the high school graduation of a young lady
in our church. Only a few days before the doctor's appointment so it
should be OK, if he's comfortable doing so.

 NB> back that to the trip, too..  :)  When I take my mom to appointments,
 NB> I have to figure an hour each way transport (twice that if I have to
 NB> pick her up, not just meet her at the appointment) plus the hour or so
 NB> for
 NB> the appointment... She's actually only about 45 minutes away, but I
 NB> always have to figure the hour for leeway...

Better to overfigure the time than to underestimate it.

 NB>  NB>> Progress.  :)   Sounds like you are getting over the hump,
 NB> then... :)

 RH> We are, it's the little things that keep us going and help us get over
 RH> the bigger ones. Steve is only using the cane outside of the house so
 RH> he is helping more in the kitchen. I still have to get the low down or
 RH> heavy things out but he can get some things out of the fridge. If I
 RH> have things on the top shelf he has no problems but sits to get things
 RH> from the front of the second & 3rd shelves, using the grabber gadget
 RH> for the latter one. Still, it's encouraging for him to do things like
 RH> that.

 NB> Good for him to be able to feel useful, too...  :)  And not totally
 NB> out of the cooking loop...  :)

He generally fixes his own breakfast and takes care of the kefir before
I get up so he is improving. The back brace he was originally given was
a size large and seemed big on him so he went over to the clinic today
and was able to exchange it for a medium. He said it feels much better.
