Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Odd, did you figure out what caused it?
 NB>  NB>> Yup... turned out that one of the wires at the pole had broken,
 NB> so  NB>> we'd lost half the power to the house... Richard called RG&E,
 NB> and they  NB>> came out and rehooked both wires, apparently the other
 NB> was fixing to  NB>> go, too... :)  Was fixed quickly enough the same
 NB> day, thankfully... ;)

 RH> Odd, but fixable. Hopefully you didn't have plans for a day's worth of
 RH> cooking. (G)

 NB> Or for messaging... (G)  I had hoped for a little more time on that,
 NB> though...  ;)

I understand; I'm trying to get some Fido done before we go out tonight.
Pot luck gathering at the Legion for members/Auxillary--we've got a pot
of chili on the stove for it.


 NB> eyes weren't tracking
 NB>  NB>> together... So the eye doctor and ENT are on hold for now
 NB> again...

 RH> And, since it's been a month, hopefully some improvement.

 NB> Yes, she's making some definite progress...  Speech Therapist
 NB> graduated her on Monday, and the OT yesterday... both said that she'd
 NB> be able to
 NB> continue to improve just from the family/helpers working with her...

Good! Family members, at this point, can be just as effective as the
trained therapists.


 NB>  NB>> We are indeed doing the rehab at home still... PT twice a week,
 NB> OT and  NB>> ST once a week, visiting nurse once a week, and a
 NB> nutritionist who  NB>> came to see her and is keeping tabs on
 NB> things... Maybe not so much  NB>> answers from them, but at least some
 NB> work and progress on getting her  NB>> more stable... ;)   She has a
 NB> follow-up appointment with the Strong  NB>> Stroke Clinic this coming
 NB> week...

 RH> If this is Tuesday, it must be Doctor X? (G)

 NB> Or at least therapist X...  ;)  The doctor appointment went well..
 NB> only needs to go back for a followup in 6 months...  :)

I saw my cardiologist earlier this week and got a 6 month follow up. Had
to tell him about the new since I saw him last developments.


 RH> We're catching up on various appointments this month also.

 NB> Most of ours are set for the last week of the month, after Lydia
 NB> returns, and I'm off the hook more... :)  Although, I do have one
 NB> middle of this coming week... :)  One more thing to juggle... ;)

Always something. Steve sees a VA doctor on Wednesday; I see my primary
care doctor Thursday. I've got a lot more to cover with him but he has
been following most of it already.


 NB>  NB>> Ah... so not a mid-size, just an extra one...  :)   And now you
 NB> know  NB>> that the entire gadget is well-worth the purchase...  :)

 RH> Yes, we took it on the trip so Steve could do cheesecakes for our
 RH> daughters and their families. He also made a yummy chicken cachitori
 RH> for both families.

 NB> Sounds very tasty... :)  Both the cheesecakes and the cacchitori... :)
 NB> And a multi-use device is particularly handy when one is camping and
 NB> doesn't have a lot of storage available...  :)

That was one reason for taking it, on the hopes we'd be doing more
cooking on our own. Maybe we will on the next trip.


 NB>  RH>> Yes, but I don't have any whole wheat bread on hand now. Have to
 NB> get  RH>> some going, but want to use down the rye and pumpernickel
 NB> first.
 NB>  NB>> Less of a need for the crumbs when you are away, anyway...  ;)

 RH> Didn't need them at all. We're going to eat the 2nd loaf of rye bread
 RH> before I do any more whole wheat, probably next week.

 NB> All in good time...   :)

I made whhole wheat bread yesterday--had just enough flour to do so.
Have to mill some more before we do any more bread.

 NB>  NB>> Followed by an extensive trip...  (G)

 RH> Done, but still doing the catch up from that.

 NB> Yuppers...  :)

I've still not sat down at the sewing machine yet, maybe next week.

Catch you later,
