Hearing "Last Hard Bible" - Kasey Chambers

medical issues in the family

I got a call from the doctor's office today.  The only problem Cliff's blood tests show is too-low "good" cholesterol.  Niacin will fix that.  He's been on it before.  No problem.

My son in Georgia is at home now, still on some pretty powerful pain-killers and with three pins in his left leg.  He also has a brace, and he is using a walker to get around.  He can't put any weight at all on that leg for four weeks.  There's also some sort of contraption on his leg that pumps cool water around it so it won't swell.  He has orders from me to take plenty of pictures.

I've found the George Foreman grill I really want:  it's on sale at Kohls for $69.99.  But I have a 20%-off coupon, which would make it much less.  The thing I like about this one is that the grill plates are removable.  So you can toss them in the dishwater to soak.

I surely do need a bigger one, because the one I have now does well to grill two hamburgers.  We're going shopping tomorrow; perhaps I'll get the new, bigger one.

    Does Cliff know how lucky he is to have a wonderful wife like you to make sure he stays well and healthy? I sure hope so! :)

    I'm glad that Cliff's tests came back good, except for the low good cholesterol.
    I'm also glad that meds. can fix that.  So Jim is on the mend & at home.  That's great!  I like my George Foreman...it's a big one.  (But the grill plates don't come out)  I would like to have the one you're talking about, but I'll wait until mine plays out.  Thanks for keeping us posted about Cliff & Jim.

    All caught up with your journal, I was wondering if you may have made the trip to your son's house since his accident (I read about it over at Rachel's journal). I'm glad I did a little nosing around to find that my alerts were just acting up (again).

    I'm glad Jim is on the mend and that Cliff's tests all came back fine. He probably had something that was going around.

    I'm glad to see that you are making it to the cabin...wish I had one, a little time to myself sounds heavenly! LOL.

    Hope your Hubby is fine and I am sorry about your son and hope he recovers quickly from the motor cycle wreck.  I must have the same grill you have.  It doesn't cover a lot of area.  LOL.  I mainly use it for sausage and for making what I call "pan sandwiches"....really just toated sandwiches.  Great for winter time. I've thought about getting a new foreman myself.  Space is an issue though b/c Hubby does not ever want to get rid of ANYTHING so there are too many things already in the kitchen with not enough space.  Have a good weekend.
