So, she had me give a urine sample and now 'm on a course of antibotcs
for a kidney infecton. And have a follow=up in two weeks.
Mentioning kidneys, I had some fun late last year when it was revealed
I had eight blood cells in my urine sample instead of just one. So I
was sent to urology, got violated, and spoke to the urologist.
Prostate is fine and she said that considering I'm on a few hight blood pressure meds, Eliquis, and Plavix and considering I have chronic venus insufficiency in my lower legs, it's no wonder I'm leaking a little
blood.
She said that the fact I drink a lot of water (that's from being on
three meds that cause chronic dry mouth and not the diabetes) is
helping to keep th ol' kidneys functioning.
I'm now wearing compression socks to help things out also.
So, there I was in a place known to have good hospital food - and I
was not able to eat much of it since I was on a both a renal and
cardiac restriction.
The VA hospital actually has good food but they put me on such a bland diet I'd be better off just eating soda crackers. However, when I
asked to be hospitalized the last time due to a wound my shoes caused,
the doc put me on a "heart-healthy" where they actually included a
packet of salt with my mkeals. *gasp*
When I was in the CLC (Community Living Center: an on-campus nursing home/long-term care facility), I got spoiled. A dietary rep came up
with a laptop and I got to choose what I wanted within my dietary restrictions.
I'll be back at the CRC this winter, hopefully, recovering after my
foot reconstruction surgery.
Mennonite - Amish with a phone and/or a car. Bv)=
We have an enormous Mennonite population here. Very nice folk! A Mennonite family runs a very popular restaurant called The Farmer's Daughter in Chuckey which is near my parents' home.
They have a domain name but nothing is set up right now so you can
check their menu out at https://tinyurl.com/3fyj297e They're a LOT
more expensive than they used to be but the food is absolutely
delicious.
We have a thriving Amish area not far from me. Have to be careful
driving in that area lest you run over a buggy clip clopping along
the road.
When I used to work for Leclerc Foods as their IT guy here in the US, I used to drive to the tiny berg of Montgomery, PA. It's near
Williamsport whicjh is where I stayed in a holel there and drive the
short distance to Montgomery.
When driving to Montgomery on the back roads, you had to be extremely careful and keep an eye out for the Amish in their buggies. They were always careful drivers. I never passed one unless they pulled over to
the side of the road as the back roads were all narrow two-laners with
the double lines.
I met a few Amish when i was up there and they were good folk also.
I'd not having Amish or Mennonnite neighbors. My current neighbors are all senior citizens or crackheads; no in between.
We're out of that area now but still in the state. Had supper at a
Steak N Shake tonight--we both enjoyed it, could go back but not too
often as it's very filling. We'd had a very light lunch, me a light breakfast, but supper made up for both of them. (G)
've pretty much qut Steak & Shake since they went to the "quick-serve" format and got rid of table servce. I told Jim Stuller (they're the S&S franchisee for
this area), if he goes back to "dancing with who brought him" to the
party I'd go back to eating in his restaurants.
I like Freddy's. Very simiar to SNS. No table service but their food
is great and I don't mind picking up my order at the counter. I have
an 84 year old friend, who used to be my tax guy untiol we both
retired, who takes me to Freddy's occasionally. They give us a 15% military discount!

What's fun is "conflicting doctors". Last hospitalisation I was told to "stay well hydrated" by one set and placed on "fluid restriction" where they measure both input and outgo - by another set.
If you're not famniliar with them I recommkend Bright Life Direct for quality, price and selection .... and filling your in-box w/adverts.

I keep salt and pepper shakers in my laptop case. There are some
things for which Mrs. Dash just doesn't make the trip. And I don't get stupid with it.
Enjoy the Darth Vader boot
My hospital has printed menus in the room and you use the house phone
to call-in your order.
Do I smell an opportunity for Sean to get into web-design?
It's not quite that bad around here. But those buggis do look odd with
the reflective triangles affixes to the rear surface.
Freddy's is OK - but will never be one of my favourites. Plus we have a local outfit called Krekel's. Bill Krekel learned the burger biz at his local Steak & Shake before striking out on his own.

My mom brings my dad salt wehenever he gets hospitalized. He's a real salt fiend. I don't usually add salt to my food but I do use spices
and such. salt-free Mrs. Dash is something I can have at the hospital.

I'll have my scooter with me so I will not be walking much.

That's a nice option. Unfortunately, the VA is very...uh, picky about diets and such.

If I was allowed to work, I'd start my IT consulting business again.

A lot of the buggies I saw in Pennsylvania had headlights and tail
lights on them, interestingly enough.

My favorite placwe here is called Pennyman'd Diner. A small mom and
pop place, open from 0600-1400, but the food is absolutely amazing. A small building and nearly always packed.

problems are lungs, kidneys and heart. The new deal is a rheumatlogist
and I just don't see, on the surface, how that fits my profile.
There's undoubtedly something they want checked out. Don't know what a rheumatologist woud have to say but they figure there is something he needs to look at.

Make sure you get enough of the good (pro) biothics too. Last time my pulmonology dr. put me on antibiotics, he said to take probiotics also,
to keep good bacteria in my system.

'bout the only on-purpose probiotic I do active culture yoghurt. The Clementies don't count - even thoughthey are rich in vitamin C. I eat

Did you remember to wave as you passed by Springfield? And I know it's
too late to make any difference - but it's usually quicker to go right through St Louis rather than take I-270 or I-255 around to get to
I-44.
Although I dunno how the recent spate of tornadoes has affected
traffic in and around.

So far, so good. Hopefully nothing has developed in the time I was "off air". Stopped travelling for a few days, now in AZ. Hoping for a good Mexican meal while we're here.

I do the yogurt thing too, just about every day. But for C, it's most often 1,000mg twice a day.

We did the bypass, and no, I didn'y wave as weather wasn't great going thru IL and I was helping spot traffic, etc.

Couldn't tell you but I sure kept my eyes open Thurday. Encountered a
lot of rain and at one point, hail. Never did see how big it was but
they sure thumped hard on the truck.

There seemed to be a lot of hail in the area. I heard it hitting the
cover on the window AC in my computer room right in the midst of all
the tornado warning sirens/texts on my phone and opo-upds on my
screen.
I'd call it "marble-sized" although I dunno what the NWS deemed it. I hadn't seen hail around here in more than 20 years - and thar was no bigger than a pencil eraser.

I found that my body seems to do better on the larger amounts of C. It helps bring up the stuff in my lungs that shouldn't be there so when I
get bronchitis, I up the amount of C.

We got thru it with no dents or dings in the truck or camper. Helped
that we were driving out of the storm. Got to AZ and had a good Mexican meal at one of our old familiar places, as good as ever. Moved on from that part of the state but still in AZ for a bit.

Would that the Vitamin C would help my lungs. The COPD and emphysema
make it tough sme days. Espeially now that I'm on oxygen 24/7.

It's good that you didn't get "dinged" by the hail. I've seen cases
where innsurance had to pay a "total loss" because of dents all over
the roof, hood and trunk of a vehicle.

I built up to that amount over some years but have kept it high as my lungs have gotten worse. It does help clear the crud, not totally but I don't want to cut back now when I need the help. I'm still on O2 just
at night.

Late 2015 we bought a 2016 Escape. Spring of 2016 we had a storm with hail, did a number on the vehicle but insurance covered a restoration
job. Had a not so nice encounter with wind, snow and ice in Wyoming
that December, car was repaired but we'd bought the Frontier to get us home, liked it better so the Escape was sold.

Be happy you don't need oxygen constantly. The medical supply picked
up my portables - so now, if I want to go out and about I have to
wrestle a cylinder of oxygen on a tow along cart into the car, keep it from flopping around whilst I'm drivifg - and the haul it behind me
where I go.

Don't recall meeting your Escape. I do remember the Nissan. I'd like
to find one similar for my own use. But the price of cars and pickups
as gotten obscene. I located one very similar to a unit I had priced
as a "new" purchase. This on had 87K miles on it and was priced ar
just
$29,000 - which blew me away. The new unit I had priced was only
$21,000 delicered inclusive of taxes, tile license and insurance. Go figure.
