====================
Hi Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> It's good to know the "alternate" routes!
-> 
-> -> Very much so!  Even tho the "widget" (our name for the GPS) didn't
-> -> understand until we hit the Detour button. (G) At times that thing is
-> -> helpful as all get out, other times, it's very annoying. It has been
a
-> -> big help but other times I want to throttle it. (G)  It still wanted
to
-> 
->  hn> I have a garmin but I seldom use it while I am
->  hn> driving it's just too distracting...of course it's
->  hn> not a "talking" one so I have to look at the screen!
-> 
-> It does help to have this one talk to Steve.  It has several different
-> languages programmed in, with a male and female voice for each. We
-> generally keep it on the (American) English guy.
->

Mine is a handheld with no voice options
...more for hiking and backcountry usage 
than driving directions...gives me lat 
and long and altitude and speed readouts though!

-> 
-> -> Definately!  And knock your socks off sunsets!  BTW, I got a
fantastic
-> -> shot of one here last night.  Steve called, told me to look outside
and
-> -> if I could, grab a camera.  I got our older digital and shot several
-> -> pictures, shot a few more a few minutes later. When Steve got home
and
-> -> took a look at what I got, he was amazed at one, especially.  It's a
-> -> once in a lifetime sunset in GA shot--want to see it?
-> 
->  hn> Of course! it's a photo isn't it? (grin) I'm now all finished with
->  hn> the painted Christmas cards (two styles, limited edition of 100
each)
->  hn> they are all signed and numbered and ready to go!
-> 
-> You should have the picture before you get this message.  We've been
-> working on our Chirstmas mail out; it includes a picture of one of my
-> quilts this year.
-> 

Got the photo and enjoyed it! Nicely done! Thanks!

-> ->  HN> Has two doc appts on Wednesday so we'll see
-> ->  HN> what happens from there!
->  hn> ->
-> -> Hopefully all will be fine. I have to see my pulminologist tomorrow
(and
-> -> fill him in on all that's transpired since I saw him in early June),
my
-> -> regular doctor on Thursday (routine) and my orthopedic doctor a week
-> 
->  hn> Anne had two doc appts today, one a follow up on her ulcer visit in
->  hn> the hospital and the second to her podiatrist. Follow up to the
->  hn> hospital visit went quite a bit differently than we had
imagined...the
->  hn> doc was not so concerned about the ulcer (it's healing fine and not
->  hn> expected to be any problem) but was much more concerned with her
blood
->  hn> sugar numbers (they did a full work up on her when she was in the
->  hn> hospital) so we're going to be following up on that with another
appt
->  hn> and an appt with the nutritionist. The podiatrist felt terrible and
-> 
-> OK, sounds like you may have to ease off on the carbs and sweets for
-> her. She sounds sweet enough that she shouldn't need too many extra
-> ones. (G)
-> 

We'll be back on the South Beach diet again, we sorta 
slid off it over the past three or four months, and 
we knew we shouldn't have. Now we have another 
confirmation that we need to remember that!

->  hn> sort of responsible for the ulcer (he's the one who prescribed the
->  hn> course of anti inflammatories) but we told him it was not his
fault,
->  hn> she's never
->  hn> had any trouble before and this was "just one of those things", no
way
->  hn> he could have forseen it any more than we could!
-> 
-> Sounds like the way I was with singular back in Feb, 06.  My
-> pulminologist in HI never thought I'd react the way I did (nor did I as
-> far as that goes) but in retrospect, he wasn't too surprised.  He'd been
-> working with me for 5 years at that point.  Had a great check up with my
-> pulminologist out here yesterday, a so-so one (change in one med) today
-> with my regular doctor.
-> 
-> Meanwhile, keep Anne on good food, lots of rest and lots of support.
-> Can't say one is more important than the others, but all 3 will work
-> wonders for her.
-> 
->
I'm keeping a close watch on her For SURE!
chat with you soon
