Hi Nancy,
NB> RH>> of hours. Came home, took it off and had to get off my feet for
NB> RH>> a bit; the knee wasn't strong enough to do anything much. I did
NB> RH>> make sure the perishables got put away before I sat down.
NB> NB>> Good thing... Don't want to push that knee too much at this
NB> NB>> point....
RH> No, it's damaged enough. Don't know, short of a major hit, what could
RH> mess it up more tho.
NB> Too much of the little stuff might be just as bad... cumulative
NB> damage...
True, over the years of on my feet doing this and that, it all adds up.
NB> NB>>> And now you'll have a bigger fridge for when you host a picnic,
NB> NB>>> whenever that might be...
NB> RH>> We'd like to do it next year but will see how things play out
NB> RH>> over the next few months.
NB> NB>> Lots going on still...
RH> Very much so, but we'll have the new fridge. (G)
NB> Yup, and now you do...
Fridge part is somewhat settled as to what will go where, freezer will
need more work when we get home. I can do that while sitting tho.
NB> NB>> If he's going to have to be doing much care for you those first
NB> NB>> few days, not having to worry about cooking might be a very
NB> NB>> helpful thing... I know it was useful when we got meals
NB> NB>> right after Richard came home from the bypass surgery...
RH> We'll discuss it with the preaching pastor's wife; she organises
RH> things like that. Will have a better feel for what's needed after we
RH> talk to the doctor but I'm sure he would encourage something like that.
RH> Also other people (from other organisations we're in) have offered
RH> help. No Fu's in the area tho.
NB> So you can't have friends bring you in take-out from Fu's... Maybe
NB> from some other favored place, though....? It would be a good
NB> idea to take people up on their offers to help...
We probably will. Did talk to one couple who signed up after they had a
new baby. Said that they got a lot of take out pizza so were glad for
what I sent (forget what it was).
NB> RH>> Some days are like that, others, you have all the time you need
NB> RH>> to cook, eat, clean up.................
NB> NB>> And no rush at all.... And if it takes forever, there's not
NB> NB>> much harm done... (G)
RH> Some days are like that, especially when you get several inches of
RH> snow. (G)
NB> Exactly...
Which is all melted now.
NB> NB>>>> And then you'll add bread and salad to fill out the meal...?
NB> RH>>> Bread yes, salad TBD what will be done.
NB> NB>>> Made any decisions on that yet...?
NB> RH>> We got a couple of bags of a salad mix (forgot what type) but
NB> RH>> the package has everything--greens, dressing, etc in it. Just
NB> RH>> combine and eat.
NB> NB>> That's simple enough...
RH> Yes, and now we're eating off of that also. (G)
NB> How providential...
Quite so, actually. Found we didn't like that salad mix as much as we
like some of the other ones. OK, but not great.
