=================================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> it mostly  NB>> just needing to get the therapies and treatment plans
 NB> in place...?

 RH> Both parts. The back has him hobbled up quite a bit at times, standing
 RH> to preach a sermon would be hard. We've got good medical care here and
 RH> if/when we move, we'll have to start over again in that system. Steve
 RH> had his first injection yesterday, seems to be doing some good.
 RH> Therapy starts Monday. We renewed our lease (with no rent increase) for
 RH> a year, just to ensure we've got housing for the time we need to settle
 RH> out what we're doing.

 NB> Could be part of God's answer as to what you should be doing next, and
 NB> where...  :)  Keeps you a little closer to parents than some of your
 NB> possibilities would have taken you, too...   Good that the injection

That was a consideration, we know the folks won't be around forever.
We're a hard day's drive from either set, either up to NY or down to
Florida, if neccessary.


 NB> seems helpful, and hopefully the therapy will also help.  :)

After the lidocaine wore off he started hurting again. But, he went to
therapy today and got some do at home exercises. Hopefully those will
give him some relief.


 RH> Things have been hectic here as we're trying to get resettled from the
 RH> travels. We bought some scrapple and a big ham in PA; I repackaged the
 RH> scrapple into one meal freezer packs yesterday. We also got some
 RH> nitrite free bacon up in NY; that also went into the freezer in meal
 RH> size portions.

 NB> Repackaging does take some time and effort, but it really pays off in
 NB> canvenience (also useability, in some cases) later...  :)

Very much so; we have a vaccuum sealer that gets used quite a bit. After
we bake the ham, we'll portion it out into bags and seal, then pop them
into the freezer.


 RH> The pantry is quite full as we got a case (3 1 pound bags) of
 RH> Hartley's potato chips plus a couple of bags of the rosemary/onion/
 RH> garlic ones. Got a big bag of Rold Gold pretzels as part of my goody
 RH> bag at the Penn State Lady Lions Pink Zone game and they're in the
 RH> pantry as well.

 NB> Gotta stock up on the available only there stuff.. ;)  And it sounds

Yes, we even found those potato chips we'd bought the one time and
enjoyed so much. Now to keep Steve from eating all of them--he's got to
save some for me. (G)


 NB> like you were treated quite well by the Pink Zone...  :)

Very much so--free admission for both of us to the game, a goody bag
with a tee shirt, Vera Wang luggage tag (our friend had a VW change
purse in hers), the munchies, and a few other assorted things like a
chip clip, jar opener grip pad, a couple of pink bracelets, and some
fancy light up pink sunglasses (and more).


 RH> Still a fair amount of "dust" to settle but the food is all stowed

 NB> First the food stowed, then the mail sorted and dealt with, and
 NB> getting unpacked.... always lots to do when one gets home from a
 NB> trip... ;)

 RH> and I'll get that e-mail out to you eventually.

 NB> Ok... I'll be watching for it...  :)

Maybe tomorrow, today is Fido catch up day (and 4 loads of laundry).

Catch you later,
