 NB>>> Received... to be answered eventually....

 NB>> And got and answered both your update and the original... finally...

 RH> Which I've got to answer, but you know the basics.

You'll get to it eventually...  ;)

Yes, I know...
 
 NB>> scans that the other hospital had said didn't show anything...

 RH> Same type of scans?

Actually, they just looked at the ones that the other hospital had
taken, except for a repeat on the CT scan when she got to Strong.  They
were sent copies of the originals, and found what they were looking for
them on them so didn't need to repeat them.  Just as well, as the MRI
seemed to be particularly disorienting to her...  
 
 RH>>>>> We're not drinking the soy milk like we used to so figured

 NB>>>>> They're somewhere around here... can't have gone TOO far... (G)
 RH>>>> No, just remembering that I need to look for them and then

 NB>>> Maybe hiding in a still-unpacked box somewhere...?
 RH>> Most likely, or in plain sight, laughing at us.
 NB>> It'll show up eventually.... probably, anyway...  (G)

 RH> At some point, they will. We might be able to find them on line so we

That might take less time, true...  ;) 
 
 RH>> Very much so. The movers damaged it, coming out of Berlin to Fort

 NB>> Sounds like he did a very good job on the repair, then... :)

 RH> Very good, yes. He redid some other pieces, but the buffet had the

A skilled craftsman is hard to find... you did well, there... :)
 
 NB>>>> you're using it to stock a camper, and you plan to actually be
 NB>>>> cooking, it makes sense to have good equipment... :)
 RH>>> As good as we can, tho it'll be paper or foam plates and
 RH>>> suchlike for a bit, until we find the set we want.
 NB>>> No need to rush... the right set will turn up when it does... ;)
 RH>> Yes, we're getting other things put in place now. I got some measuring
 RH>> cups/spoons, a couple of canisters and dish towels yesterday at W-M.
 RH>> We went to a camping supply store for other things, and I dug out some
 RH>> things like cutting boards (including one of the little ones I got at
 RH>> Olindo's) from around the kitchen to supply the little kitchen.
 NB>> You'll be camping in style...  ;)   And did things work out well on
 NB>> the trip, using your little kitchen....?

 RH> Overall, yes but we never did do any fancy cooking this time out. Just
 RH> basics like soup, sandwiches, cereal, etc. Found out that the camping
 RH> toaster (the one that sits on the stove burner) sets off the smoke

Oh, well... guess you'll have to just use that on the campfire grill, or
use a portable tabletop burner on a picnic table... ;)

... On the other hand, you have different fingers.
