========================
Hi Nancy,

 RH> He's thinking he can do it. The worst is behind him, now it's just a
 RH> matter of time for all to heal. We booked our tickets for our trip out
 RH> west in August; he wants to hold the newest gandbaby as soon as he
 RH> can.

 NB> Of course.  :)   Hopefully by booking this early you got some good
 NB> deals...?  :)

Seems to be a good deal, reserved a car for the time we're out there so
we won't need to borrow from either girl. It'll also be useful for
running errands, doing shopping, etc for Deborah while she's recovering
from baby's birth. I'd like to stock her freezer some but don't know
what she wants in it/has room for.

 NB>  NB>> Hmm... dunno... it might be safer (and sager, which my fingers
 NB> wanted  NB>> to type there [g]) to ride along with others that might
 NB> be also going  NB>> to the graduation...

 RH> Have to find out who else is going.

 NB> Hopefully there wil be others going... for the young lady's sake as
 NB> well... :)

Turns out the graduation is after Steve's appointment and he thinks he
will have driving clearance by then. Still might car pool to save on
parking space.

 NB> so it  NB>> always takes longer than you'd thinkg to get from car to
 NB> building...  NB>> and if we use the transport chair, that takes extra
 NB> time to set up and  NB>> put back in the car...  so the built-in
 NB> leeway is a good thing...

 RH> So an hour isn't too much extra time at that. Found out from my dad

 NB> Exactly... also provides a cushion for traffic, etc...

 RH> that when Mom has appointments at the hospital, the nursing home staff
 RH> takes her there. That's one less major worry for him. He was fussing
 RH> about the ramp last year but this year he's given it a good bit of use
 RH> for himself. (G)

 NB> Got it installed in good time, then...  :)  I'm not surprised that he
 NB> finds it useful, too... :)

Like the stairway lift--put up a big fuss but within a couple of weeks
had the "why didn't we do this sooner?" feeling. (G) He's trying to eat
down their freezers but with just him, it's taking much longer. He said
he won't buy from the meat salesman again tho--good idea so he can get
just what he wants, when he needs.

 NB>  RH>> given was a size large and seemed big on him so he went over to
 NB> the  RH>> clinic today and was able to exchange it for a medium. He
 NB> said it  RH>> feels much better.
 NB>  NB>> That should help him get around better, too...  :)

 RH> More so the comfort factor. I also was able to cover up a couple of
 RH> velcro strips that were catching on a lot of things.

 NB> Good deal..  :)   Velcro is such a good thing... and such a hassle,
 NB> too... ;)

Agreed, I use it in some of my sewing projects, prefer other closures
for different projects. I use it on the diaper bags but want to
experiment with Kam-snaps.

 RH> He's doing a lot better overall now--he grilled some pork chops on
 RH> the outdoor grill last night. We got some thick cut ones on clearance
 RH> earlier this week at Lowe's, ended up splitting one and we'll have
 RH> the other one for supper tonight.

 NB> It does sound like he's getting back to normal... :)

We're both happy with his progress.
