Hey Ruth!

-> ->  HN> Even the saddest of occasions often have a
-> ->  HN> "good" side.
-> 
-> -> Very true, another good thing was that we missed the storm that hit 
this
-> -> past week end. NY is supposed to have some more miserable weather but
-> -> hopefully be sunny by the end of the week.
-> 
->  HN> Luck was with you on that one!!
-> 
-> And we missed a storm that hit WF this past week end. But, it's quite
-> cold where we are--last night was down in the single digits.
->
And we seem to be having a warmer
dryer winter than usual.
 
-> -> Steve was doing a good bit of rinsing the past few days but I think 
he's
-> -> managed to knock out whatever was blocking up.
-> 
->  HN> Anne is clear of the infection but there
->  HN> is still plenty of drainage going on and
->  HN> her Dr says it may continue for a couple
->  HN> of weeks, so Anne is still rinsing several
->  HN> times a day.
-> 
-> Steve is doing better so not rinsing quite as often. We're lacking hot
-> sauce right now but did have lunch at a Moe's Southwestern Grill where
-> he got some. Probably helped him. He was wearing a US Army, Retired cap
-> and one young man working the food line was asking about it. Steve told
-> him he'd served 26 years--when we got to the cashier, she said Steve's
-> lunch was paid for by this young man. Nice!
-> 
Very nice to be appreciated at times!!
-> 
-> ->  HN> My dental issues go pretty deep and
-> ->  HN> were very severe. My dentist specializes
-> ->  HN> in pepole like me and he's VERY good...
-> ->  HN> but it's still (and always will be) a
-> ->  HN> big issue for me. They do what they
-> 
-> -> Nice to have a dentist that's so understanding. I saw in a post to 
Nancy
-> -> that he's a dental trauma specialist--sounds like just what you need.
-> 
->  HN> I've been going to him for about 30 years.
-> 
-> Hopefully he won't retire before you do.
->
Thank goodness he's younger than I am! 
 
-> -> Both involve leadership but have differing objectives.
-> 
->  HN> quite different.
-> 
-> Things are on a sort of hold tho until he gets some back issues
-> resolved. He's seeing an orthopedic doctor in the same clinic I went for
-> my wrist.
-> 
Hope things work out well and quickly!

-> ->  HN>  The normal fasting blood sugar for women is said to be around
83
-> ->  HN> mg/dl or less, and the same for men is said to be around 90-130
->  HN> mg/dl.
-> ->  HN> However,
-> ->  HN> normal fasting blood sugar for children is slightly on the
higher
->  HN> side
-> ->  HN> and is said to be around 100 mg/dl. It is important to know the
->  HN> normal
-> ->  HN> levels of
-> ->  HN> fasting blood sugar in children, so as to keep an eye out for
the
-> 
-> -> Interesting, sounds like I'm actually on the normal side of the 
numbers
-> -> then. I can't recall having any fasting blood work done as a child; I
-> -> guess it's not normal to do so unless diabetes is suspected.
-> 
->  HN> I think that's the way it's done.
->  HN> When I suspected that I was
->  HN> "going over the line" I had to
->  HN> insist on getting the A1C done
->  HN> for reference purposes.
-> 
-> Good thing you did. My PCM  thought she'd checked the box on my lab
-> tests form (did for Steve) but missed it for me (or the lab missed it if
-> she did) so it didn't show up until the pancreatitis set in.
-> 
Just had an A1C done wednesday and it was
6.3...which is better than I thought it would
be!

-> ->  HN> Even BETTER than a church rummage sale!!
-> 
-> -> Very much so; we're rounding up another load of things to bring in. 
The
-> -> school also has a Manna Ministry in the same building, same hours. 
Very
-> -> often there are several different types of breads, bagels, English
-> -> muffins, sandwich rounds, doughnuts, cake or cupcakes and doughnuts
-> -> available for taking as well. It was a big help for the time after I 
had
-> -> my wrist surgery and not able to do the bread making I usually do.
-> 
->  HN> and you can have some confidence
->  HN> that the bread is not chock full
->  HN> of "stuff" that the commercial
->  HN> varieties have.
-> 
-> This is commercial stuff, day old, that is collected and distributed for
-> free. We can get good stuff but the plain white stuff is available for
-> those that like it.
->
Ah well...not for me!! 
chat with you soon!
