Hello Ruth,
Sunday December 10 2023 19:32, you wrote to me:
RH> That's always good. We had to go to an ER last night (Steve got a cut
RH> on his arm while lowering part of antenna, 12 stitches.) so went down
RH> to the VA hospital in Durham. Since it was VA, it was no cost for him,
RH> just gas.
The VA is good for that thankfully. I have been dealing with kidney pain for about a month. Went to the VA ER and, much to my surprise, they found "a lot" of microscopic blood in my urine. That was two weeks ago and finally seeing urology this week. I've tried not to worry but all of the tests show no know issues and my kidney function is at 100% so I'm just wondering what else is wrong.
RH> That probably would be a pretty penny. Can you get them thru the VA in
RH> your area?
Yes, thankfully. The only place that will do them under $500+ per pair.
RH> I understand. I've been wearing just drugstore readers for the past
RH> few years, pulling them off for distance, putting them back on for
RH> reading, computer, etc.
I do also! Just received some as a gift that were from Sam's Club but my favorites are from Zenni. Dollar Tree readers work surprisingly well for me.
RH> Time will tell.
Same with me. I have been doing better with by blood sugar.
RH> Sounds like quite the production for meals. They had scalloped
RH> potatoes, shoe peg corn, stewed apples, fried chicken, roast beef in
RH> gravy and rolls, plus choice of several desserts. At the end of the
RH> dinner, it was announced that boxes were available to take home left
RH> overs so we took some apples and beef. I mixed some mushrooms in with
RH> the beef, served it
RH> over sourdough miche brot (a Wegman's take on a German bread) for
RH> supper the next night.
That all sounds great. I made chili last night and had enough for leftovers for lunch today.
RH> There's a Bob Evans in the area--not sure if it's Raleigh or
RH> Durham--but we've not been to that one. Have been to some while
RH> travelling; they discontinued their chicken pot pie a while ago which
RH> was one of Steve's favorites.
I haven't been in a couple of years, sadly, even though it's 10 minutes away.
RH> We've not been to Shoney's; they usually don't show up when we start
RH> looking for places to eat. Also, CB lets us stay overnight in their
RH> RV/bus parking, some even have dedicated lots for those vehicles.
Shoney's is good if you can find it. CB is good for overnight stays. I've done it before when I had a 21' travel trailer many years ago.
RH> Sounds like fun. We don't have an air fryer but do have a small
RH> toaster/convection oven plus crock pots, a couple of "Instant Pots"
RH> (not the name brand) and all sorts of other forms of cooking other
RH> than the stove. (G) As for carbs--balance them with protein as much as
RH> possible.
I need to give my Instant Pot more of a workout.
I'm saving up to get a portable dishwasher since I am having issues standing up a lot in one place to do dishes.
