Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> long-term...  And is he accepting it...?

 RH> Official word is he's being moved for rehab, unofficial word is that
 RH> the move is long term. We've not talked with him, but will, probably
 RH> tomorrow after he gets settled in. I guess he's accepting that it is
 RH> going to be for rehab, especially if they can do something to help his
 RH> sciatica. He probably does realise, but doesn't want to admit, that
 RH> it's going to be a long term move.

 NB> That will probably be more obvious as time goes on, especially if he
 NB> doesn't make a lot of progress in strengthening... It would be good if
 NB> they could do something to mitigate the sciatica, too...  How far from

He's accepting that it is long term now.

 NB> your brother will he be there...?

Dad is in Oneonta, about an hour's drive away. Most all of the roads are
2 lane, secondary type.


 NB>  NB>> It could be on the wall above the monitor, or on an adjacent
 NB> wall  NB>> that he might see as he comes to use the computer...  :)

 RH> He has one on a wall in that room but has always used the kitchen one
 RH> for writing in appointments. It's something he and Mom did for years,
 RH> at least as long as I can remember.

 NB> Ah, so it has tradition behind it, too...

More of a case of having the one in the kitchen being the one for all
the family scheduling of medical appointmets, school events, etc. Helped
to have it all in one, accessible location.


 NB>  RH>> Dreaming for some, saving up money for others.
 NB>  NB>> Indeed.

 RH> And the kitchen blind cabinet corner slide out is reality now. Steve
 RH> put it in today. One more item off the list.

 NB> Very nice..  :)  More good storage available now..  :)

A bit less storage, in reality, but definately better availability of
what is back there. Our QoV co-ordinator saw it today and was impressed.

 NB> his  NB>> active maturity level. He did learn some from us while he
 NB> stayed
 NB>  NB>> here... and still sometimes contacts us to tell us how much he
 NB>  NB>> appreciates our intervention.. ;)

 RH> The right place and time made a big difference in his life. Nice to
 RH> have that affirmed, even years down the road.

 NB> Indeed.  :)

We hear, every so often from the girls, how much they appreciate how we
brought them up, even tho they didn't appreciate it when they were
younger. (G)

 RH> Sometimes the circus is bigger than we thought it to be.

 NB> Indeed.

 RH> I heard on the news tonight that Ringling Brothers is doing away
 RH> with elephants in their travelling circuses effective 2018. Of course
 RH> PETA is saying, "why not now?".

 NB> I heard that too.  I don't guess that anyone asked the elephants if
 NB> they did or didn't want to be in the circus... they might miss it, it
 NB> having been their life all their life...  :)

Some of them might misss it, others, be glad not to be performing.
Younger ones will just have to listen to stories about the "good old
circus days." (G)
