Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> then.
 NB>  NB>> Did they resolve the oddities in the results...?

 RH> I haven't heard anything more but looking at the lab reports, they

 RH> more, then.

 NB> Did you find out any more from him...?

Nothing more than what was known. Theorised that some of the bloodwork
was mislabeled as to where it came from, but can't prove it. Started
with a new med, trying it for a month to see what it does to the BP.

 NB> an idea where  NB>> on the scan to look for abnormalities to explain
 NB> the symptoms...  :)  NB>> As to the MRI, I know... I've had a few of

 RH> A better exam helps.

 NB> It also helped that Strong now has a strong emphasis on stroke and

Good, sounds like they've really picked up on their "game".


 RH> When I did my knee in, Strong only X-rayed it,
 RH> said it might be a couple of weeks before we know if you've done
 RH> called in an ortho doctor. He operated the day after he was called
 RH> in--said 2 weeks would have been too long.

 NB> I think that would be unlikely to happen at Strong any more... more
 NB> likely the latter scenario...  :)  Orthopedics is another of their
 NB> strengths nowadays... :)

My FIL had his rotater cuff surgery there in the mid 80s.

 NB> house.  NB>> Can't blame you there.... and then, of course, once
 NB> you've sent it  NB>> off... you'll find the directions... ;)

 RH> Of course--it's the law of "go figure". It's not going very far, just
 RH> over to the campus Sharing Shop. Hopefully some student will adopt it.

 NB> So, you might be able to pass along the original instructions once
 NB> they are found...  :)

It's possible, just have to let the manager know that we've found them
so a note can be posted.


 NB>  RH>> We may invest in a regular toaster and only use it when we have
 NB> the  RH>> electricity hooked up. We did use the little cutting board a
 NB> lot--as a  RH>> prop under the back of the dish drainer to get it to

 NB> jobs, mostly cheese or  RH>> stuff like that.
 NB>  NB>> Not quite as intended, there... but useful... ;)  Sounds like
 NB> this was  NB>> indeed a good shakedown trip for using the trailer...
 NB> :)

 RH> Quite so; Steve has used the time since we've been home to make some
 RH> modifications, mostly small but very helpful ones. He found out that
 RH> we can get a 3 burner unit for cooking; we've not decided if we want
 RH> to do it or not.

 NB> I suppose it might depend on how much serious cooking you expect to do
 NB> on the road, and/or how long you expect road trips to last in the
 NB> future...  ;)

Some of the road trips will be for a mix of fun and work (mission trip
to VT/visit family), others will be just for our enjoyment. The latter
ones will be probably where we will do the most cooking, and that,
probably only for something like supper. Breakfast and lunch, especially
in warmer months, are low fuss, little cooking. If we're not sight
seeing, I can spend some more time fixing a meal. OTOH, if we're sight
seeing, I can do some parts of a meal, get others pre done or have Steve
fire up an outdoor grill.
