I did try to play all my Scrab turns before leaving for the picnic, and
will do that again tomorrow morning before I take off for the rest of my
trekking...  

You might as well start new games at Holodeck... I don't think that
Becky is going to take it down all that soon... she's got her hands full
with other stuff, and now that she knows that there are some of us still
regular there, she's in no hurry to take it down... leaving it on for
those of us that were there as part of Mike's world..  I'm also guessing
that she'll give me a heads-up ahead of time, and if so, I can pass that
along... 

 DD> Main reason I took the older laptop along is to be able to listen to
 DD> my little Internet radio station that broadcasts jazz 24/7. Nothing on
 DD> TeeVee that interests, and no available radio stations that play any
 DD> sort of music I want to listen to for more than a few minutes. Even my
 DD> local NPR station has killed all its (European) classical music
 DD> programming and jazz in favour of chin music shows. FEH!

Yuck...  You could stream the various WXXI/WRUR stations also... jazz
and classical for most of the time anyway between them...  ;)  But it is
sad when yet another station gives up on the good programming... And I'm
well aware of the dearth of decent options in hospital...  ;)

 NB>> Hopefully you're home now.  :)

 DD> Got sprung last night just before supper. So, I wandered off to the
 DD> truck stop for a bowl of chicken and dumpling soup (one of my
 DD> favourites) and a roast beef melt. And found that I had to be civilised
 DD> with the sammich. Without front teeth it's hard to gnaw off a chunk -
 DD> so I had to use the knife and fork.  Bv)= 
 
Yeah.... I suppose that would be the case...  ;0  One doesn't think
about such until one doesn't have it anymore.... and then one realizes
just how much it was taken for granted...  Another one is thumb
strength...  ;0

 DD>> I've been reviewing the list of "You should", "You ought to", You
 DD>> shouldn't" and "DON'T YOU DARE!!!" stuff that I found when I awoke
 DD>> after the procedure. Looks like I won't be up to much the next few
 DD>> days. But, heck, soup can be tasty - and (sort-of) filling.
 NB>> Enjoy your soup... and your purees... ;)

 DD> I envision a lot of pasta dishes, smashed potatoes, etc. Very little
 DD> crunchy granola stuff.

At least for now... :)  Also moussaka, even your potato version, would
be fairly easy to get down... and that sort of thing...  We had some
lovely aspic at the picnic yesterday from the drippings of Dale's smoked
pork butts... that sort of thing would be tastier than fruit jellos... :)

 DD>> Next comes the adventure of getting the rest of the teeth out - and
 DD>> then getting used to the store-bought China Clippers.   Bv)=
 DD>> Hopefully that will be at a somewhat more sedate pace.
 NB>> Yup... hopefully you can plan the next steps in a less emergency
 NB>> mode...

 DD> And on days when I am scheduled off work so I don't have to scramble
 DD> around getting my shift covered. 

That, too...  :)

 DD> I did learn that my B.P. was 120/82 and my blood sugars were 81
 DD> (after pancakes w/syrup, sausage and pepper-jack omelet, hash
 DD> browns, etc.). Not bad, considering.

Not bad at all...  :)  Sounds like your BG is well under control now,
with that sort of reading...  :)
