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.
I have that issue constantly at the VA. All the time. So frustrating.
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 wear whatever the VA sends me. They're working so far...
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.
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.
Enjoy the Darth Vader boot
I'll have my scooter with me so I will not be walking much.
My hospital has printed menus in the room and you use the house phone
to call-in your order.
That's a nice option. Unfortunately, the VA is very...uh, picky about diets and such.
Do I smell an opportunity for Sean to get into web-design?
If I was allowed to work, I'd start my IT consulting business again.
It's not quite that bad around here. But those buggis do look odd with
the reflective triangles affixes to the rear surface.
A lot of the buggies I saw in Pennsylvania had headlights and tail
lights on them, interestingly enough.
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 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.

The local places are honestly always the best.

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.
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.
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.
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 quit 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.
We enjoyed it but won't indulge very often. We're now almost to St.
Louis, on our way to AZ.

Fortunately the new (t me)n dope hasn't triggered any adverse
reaction(s)
'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
them becdause they are tasty and easy to peel. Bv)=

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.
I get plenty of C vitamin in the Clementines and the daily
adult/senior multivitamin I gulp down with my morning dope. Also from
the lemon juice I put into my tapwater that I drink throughout the
day,

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.

Looks good but tonight's meal is burgers on the grill.

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

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.
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.
