Hi Dave,
DD> I dunno. That machine I was subjected to was pretty big and had lots
DD> of moveable arms and attachments. Rather like being in the midst of a
DD> ballet as it twirled and the devices on the ends of the arms retreated
DD> or came near.
RH> Yes, but you only had what, 5 treatments? I had 35. Same sort of
RH> machines but the total amount of radiation is quite different.
DD> Diffrent strokes .... Hopefully I'm done with that. Fortunately there
DD> wre no major side effects.
Good, and hopefully there will be no recurrance.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
DD> My portable O2 unit is in an over-the-shoulder carrier aboutn the size
DD> of a mid-sized ladies purse. Guessing at the weight I'd say 8 to 10
DD> pounds.
RH> You get the O2 in bursts; mine is a continuous flow. The unit is about
RH> half the size of my home unit but still takes up a good amount of
RH> space.
DD> How long is your battery good for on continuous flow? My portables are
DD> good for 4 - 5 hours on 3 liters. Continuous, I am told, takes more
DD> power than "pulsed". I don't care so long as it works. And it's
DD> waaaaaay more convenient than wrestling O2 cylinders into and out of
DD> the car.
I really don't recall exactly off the top of my head. I know when we
flew out to Vancouver (flight to toronto, then 2nd one to Vancouver), we
were asked if the battery would last the length of the flight and we
told them "yes". Didn't need the machine in flight but it had to fly in
the cabin, just in case........ And yes, we've a friend who goes thru
several cylinders a day now. He doesn't get out much any more.
RH> foot. Handy, but my dad never let my mom use it--didn't trust her
RH> driving. (G)
DD> He wasn't spry enough toduck out of the way? Bv)=
RH> Partly that, especially as he was usually in front of her. For a while
RH> she would hang on to the buggy, pushing it, but when that got to be too
RH> much, he'd sit her up front on a bench (local store, everybody knew
RH> them) and he'd take the ride 'em cart.
DD> I remember at one of the pinics Dale Shipp remarked that he often used
DD> the grocery trolley as a walker in place of a regular walking frame.
That's basically what she did also but it got to be too much for dad to
try to keep her from trying to wander (dementia) while he was shopping.
With her sitting up front, if she started to wander, one of the cashiers
would gently guide her back to her seat.
DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8
DD> Eeeeeewwwwww ... the Lob is sorta the McDonalds of chain seafood. If
DD> they can't match or better that how do they stay in business. Our most
DD> popular seafood place is in an old gas station with a "cook shack" out
DD> front. If you want to "dine-in" there is a picnic table between the
DD> shack and street.
RH> That's the way to get it. Our favorite casual place is the seafood
RH> restaurant at the NC State Farmer's Market. You get a heaping full
RH> styrofoam box with hush puppies and a side, usually enough for 2 meals
RH> or two people splitting the box. My favorite is a combo of shrimp and
RH> scallops; it's heavy on the shrimp but the scallops are the bigger ones
RH> and sweet!
DD> Makes me wish we had something like that here.
If you ever visit the Raleigh area,...........
DD> Locally caught fish from Lake Springfield, Sangamon and Illnois Rivers
DD> are offered for sale .... dressed and ready for you to take home and
DD> cook. Or cooked (deep-fry) out front.
DD> www.cartersfishmarket.com
RH> Sounds like a place worthy of our patronage. (G)
DD> You betcha. I try to arrive when the lines are short. Especially
DD> during hot weather.
Some years ago we headed over to this place after working all day at a
sewing/quilting expo. It was crowded and loud; I wanted someplace quiet
so we ended up elsewhwere.
