Ärende: Re: heavy lifting
=========================
-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 06-14-13  16:19 <=-

 NB>> Lots of things that don't require heavy lifting... :)

 RH> Seems like there's no end to them. His latest project is trouble
 RH> shooting our indoor/outdoor thermometer. Found out a new sensor for
 RH> that would cost enough to buy a new one.
 
So you are getting a new one...?  Or living with the old as is...?
 
 RH>> picked up a butcher's block cutting board the other day at the Sharing
 RH>> Shop; it was in really rough shape. He sanded it down and refinished
 RH>> it; it looks really nice now. Little things here & there............
 NB>> That would be a very satisfying project, too...  :)

 RH> Yes, we took it back and it was picked up within a few minutes by a
 RH> student. In it's original condition it was ready for the discard
 RH> dumpster, now it's being used for a good cause. 

Presumably in the kitchen, as an adjunct to preparing wonderful food. ;) 

 RH> We're going to keep the 2nd and 3rd rescue projects tho. Second was a
 RH> wooden dough bowl that looked like it had been used as a fruit bowl.
 RH> It had some staining on the inside that is reduced, couldn't get it
 RH> entirely gone. 

So you'll be using it for a dough bowl now...?

 RH> The latest project was a 10" Cuisinart stainless steel fry pan that
 RH> had burnt on gunk on the inside. That was an easy clean up with Dawn
 RH> Power Dissolve (overnight soak, sealed in plastic wrap) and elbow
 RH> grease. Since the fry pan we got with our T-fal came without a lid
 RH> (another lid fit the Cuisinart pan), we decided to keep the rescue
 RH> one and pass along the T-fal.

After all, you are trying to reduce how much you've got, not just add to
it...  ;)  And someone else may need the frypan besides... :)

 RH>> I'll be doing more of the lifting of luggage, the cooler, etc to take
 RH>> that off of him.
 NB>> It'll make it more strenuous for you, too... :)

 RH> Hopefully Steve's limit will be raised; he sees the doctor two days
 RH> before we take off. If not, then we work around it.

Good timing for the trip... most up-to-date conditions to evaluate... :)
Hopefully the doc will think he's ready for a little more lifting. :)

 NB>> It wouldn't work for us, with my permanent 15 pound weight limit... 
 NB>> Interestingly, though, even after the heart attack, Richard's had no
 NB>> real difficulty with lifting things... though the doctors have
 NB>> suggested he might not want to be lifting those 50, 60, 80 pound
 NB>> things for a while until they are sure he's ok for it...

 RH> Give him our best; it sounds like it could have been a whole lot
 RH> worse. I can understand why the doctors don't want him doing any heavy
 RH> lifting until he's checked out better; they don't want him to stress
 RH> the heart too much while he's recouperating.
 
Will do.  And, yes, I understand the reasoning... the doc's will have a
better idea what the heart is capable of when they do the testing at the
cardio rehab lab, which is yet to be scheduled.  On the other hand, his
continuing to be lifting things unaware of the situation may be why his
heart was already working on making its own bypass...
 
 RH>>> As long as the kids don't jostle him too much..........
 NB>>> True.   He'll have to pick his times carefully, especially at
 NB>>> this stage of things...
 RH>> And wait an hour after eating...........(G)
 NB>> Dunno... I thought that was just for swimming, not for wading... ;)

 RH> That was meant to be more tongue in cheek than serious.

As was mine... :)
