Hi Nancy,

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

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

 NB> That sounds like fun... and I'm sure your chili was well received...
 NB> :)

It was, the pot luck was supposed to be chili themed but I was the only
one who brought any. One guy said it wasn't hot enough but tasted good
anyway. We brought home enough to go (with rice) for a meal for us.

 NB>  NB>> she'd be able to continue to improve just from the
 NB> family/helpers  NB>> working with her...

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

 NB> Especially since they work with her on a daily basis, instead of just
 NB> once a week

Yes, but sometimes the one coming in once a week will notice a subtle
change the day to day caregivers haven't picked up on. Other family, non
caregivers, might notice it on visits also.

 NB>  RH>> If this is Tuesday, it must be Doctor X? (G)
 NB>  NB>> Or at least therapist X...  ;)  The doctor appointment went
 NB> well..  NB>> only needs to go back for a followup in 6 months...  :)

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

 NB> But everything was stable for you with his concerns, apparently.. :)

Yes, just got a quick check and appointment to follow up in 6 months.

 NB>  NB>> returns, and I'm off the hook more... :)  Although, I do have
 NB> one  NB>> middle of this coming week... :)  One more thing to
 NB> juggle... ;)

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

 NB> Always good to keep all the doctors fully in the loop...  :)  I saw my
 NB> hematologist yesterday, all the bloodwork was good, better than last
 NB> time even, in fact... She wants to followup in 6 months, too... it's
 NB> now been a year since my last iron infusion..  She mentioned that
 NB> celery is a source of iron, too... that's the only consistent addition
 NB> to my diet in this timespan... Eating more celery, and having the
 NB> celery seed
 NB> extract capsules twice daily, instead of taking allopurinol for the
 NB> gout...  :)  Apparently a bonus good side effect for a change... (G)

Sounds like you're doing well. I don't buy celery as often as I used to,
but maybe should consider upping our use of it on GP.

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

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

 NB> Especially if it isn't quite so family-loaded...  ;)

Probably most of the next few outings will be "fun" trips. Steve is
taking it to a conference in KY this spring; one of the other attendees
from our church will share it with him. Don't know how much cooking
they'll do but. the option will be there.

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

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

 NB> As I said, getting back into the normal routines... ;)

Overall, yes.

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

 NB> No currently pressing projects there at the moment, I take it... :)
 NB> One more thing to get back into normal routines with... :)

Getting a project ready to hit the machine. It's one I cut out a while
ago but had to cut a pocket (lots of work there, matching the print,
etc), press the pieces, add the interfacing, etc, etc. It's finally
ready to go to the next big step.
