 RH>> Yours probably is simple, ours is new fangled electronics.
 NB>> True, ours is simple, not electronic... :)

 RH> Old fashioned basics win out over new fangled elctronics again. (G)

Indeed.  :) 
 
 NB>>> Nice thick pocket bread...  :)  Good for substantial fills... :)
 RH>> Yes, now we can make the Turkish style doners like we had in Berlin.
 NB>> So now it's less necessary to find an authentic supplier here.. ;)

 RH> No, especially since Steve just mixed up a double batch.

And you can figure out your own fillings... :)
 
 NB>> Preliminary update... the stress test is scheduled for tomorrow... the
 NB>> doc is supposed to be using that to decide what and if he should be
 NB>> doing back at work at Home Depot... From everything I've been seeing,
 NB>> his heart seems to be acting pretty much the same at rest as when
 NB>> doing things, so we are hopeful that that will indeed be the case when
 NB>> it's put to the test...

 RH> And by now, it should be history. Hopefully you'll get some idea of
 RH> the results right away.

The technicians apparently were well impressed by his performance on the
treadmill... hopefully the doctor will be as well.  He was able to get
to a good rate, and hold it for 6 minutes, and what stopped him was his
legs getting tired by the unusual stress on them... And while there was
still some irregularity in the heartbeat, he said that the monitor was
showing a certain regularity to that irregularity.  :)  I'm thinking he
should try to get the doctor to call him on Monday to find out what the
doc's thinking about letting him go back to work...  I think he's
planning to do that..  Otherwise, we don't see that doc again until
August, and I'm sure that Richard doesn't want to wait that long.  :) 
We see the Electro cardiac doc on the 10th, that's mostly about the
LifeVest and whether or not they think he'd need an implanted defib..
We're thinking not so likely any more, as the meds do seem to be
controlling the A-fib pretty well already.  But I know, he's really
still in the healing process, for a while yet... even though he really
is feeling and doing pretty well.  :) 
 
 NB>>> It was tasty all the same, and made two meals, as there was plenty
 NB>>> of it.  The second night I tossed in some fresh mushrooms (after
 NB>>> steaming them) to balance the sodium even further, and make a
 NB>>> little variety..  :)  We certainly appreciated the thought and the
 NB>>> love behind the meal.  :)
 RH>> Those are the times you just smile and say "thank you". Been there,
 RH>> done that.
 NB>> Exactly.  :)

 RH> So, how did it taste?

As I said, it was tasty... The chicken was moister than white usually
is, no doubt because of the marinade..  and the veggies were cooked
nicely...  She's a pretty good cook, even if she doesn't quite have the
same tastes as we do.  :)
