Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Don't see why they wouldn't, unless they're too broken up. In
 NB> that  RH>> case, just toss them into the cocoa.
 NB>  NB>> That should work, too...

 RH> Tonight would be a good night for hot cocoa down here. Instead, tho,
 RH> we went to Bojangles for supper (cajun style chicken--with a kick) to
 RH> warm up. (G)

 NB> Guess the weather wasn't too frightful for venturing out, then... ;)

Cold, but warmed up enough that the ice had melted.

 NB> Dad's  RH>> caregiver and housekeeper also know they're there.
 NB>  NB>> And hopefully they will keep him company as well...   :)

 RH> His housekeeper usually does have lunch with him, but not his
 RH> caregiver.

 NB> Any chance Don would/could take the time to go eat with him, maybe not
 NB> every day, but on a regular basis...?

Depends, they're both working thru different stages of grief and there
are some issues that would make a shared meal tense at times.

 NB>  NB>> And that the infection stays well away once he does go home...
 NB> He  NB>> may be so glad to be back home out of rehab that the major
 NB> changes  NB>> won't be as much of an issue as they might have been...

 RH> Either that or he will be so overwhelmed by being out of total care
 RH> that he will retreat even more into his cave. Don is trying to get
 RH> some things in place to prevent that tho.

 NB> And now that isn't a worry anymore, after all... perhaps all for the
 NB> better...

Perhaps, but still, what a shock! At least the house is now in decent
enough shape to sell. Six months ago I would have bought it and hired a
back hoe and dumpster before taking occupancy, now that's not needed.

 NB>  NB>> It will all help him work through it all... interacting with the
 NB>  NB>> kids, either in person or via Skype...  :)

 RH> But we have to get him to understand that he needs to let the camera
 RH> see what he's doing. He'll pretend to tickle them or something similar,
 RH> and they can't see it, then not understand what he's doing. When he was
 RH> "playing airplanes" with Logan, we got him to hold his plane up to the
 RH> camera most of the time.

 NB> He'll learn... eventually, anyway, and probably, anyway... ;)

Hope so, anyway.

 NB> higher day because  RH>> I made sure I balanced carbs and proteins.
 NB>  NB>> And now that you can go back to your more normal routine, things
 NB>  NB>> should stay pretty well balanced...  :)

 RH> Trying to keep balanced, tonight's supper was heavy on carbs but was
 RH> also high protein which helped balance the carbs.

 NB> And you probably were in a condition to need both, still...  :)

Probably most days the past few months have been like that. I didn't
throw around boxes today but got enough exercise in to keep the carbs in
good balance.
