First, to keep this on-topic, there's a picture of Saturday's grilled
chicken and tomatoes on my Yahoo page. I served the meat and 'maters on
12-grain bread with lettuce, mayo, and some homegrown basil:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/head_trollop/my_photos

Crash got a clean bill of health from his surgeon at his post-op visit this
past week, and is scheduled for the other hip replacement in mid-October.
I've been concerned about how long he's been having post-op pain, so I
asked the doctor about it. He said with his usual 65 year old ladies, the
pain subsides more quickly because they have less muscle mass. Crash is a
mere child of 41, so more muscle was traumatized, and he'll likely to still
be on pain pills when he goes back in for the second hip, 4 months after
the first one. No one seems to be concerned about addiction, so I'm trying
to worry less about it, myself.

I'm still quite ill, but am seeing some improvement, so I guess that's
good. Don't ask what's wrong, just trust me when I say you don't want it.
I'm not up to reading and posting regularly yet, but thought I'd keep in
touch.

Good to hear from you. Glad Crash is progressing well. Hope you get on the
road to health real soon as well.

Glad you guys are eating well, Carol. I'm sorry about Crash's pain, but
I guess that explanation makes sense. And you, young lady! Take it
easy and get better, girl! Thanks for the update.

Chris

And a great, big "Howdy" back to you and Gene. Get well quickly and
come back to us when you feel better. Here is a hug for you, too

The chicken looks delicious. If you have any leftovers you could fax
them to me.

Get well, both of you.

A sandwich? Sounds tasty.

Hope you find a leveler place soon, Toots. Will you celebrate your
<mumblemumble-th) birthday this weekend? I'll be at Margaret's on
Wednesday and Thursday of this week -- I'll chug a TaB (or maybe a G&T)
in your honor and Margaret will have yet *another* Scotch. <sigh>

When my m-i-l had a hip replacement, she was up and running in no time (it
seemed to us), and complained somewhat of pain, but almost simultaneously
she developed Alzheimers. As Alzheimers developed, she complained less of
the pain; of course, the pain could have subsided, but we will never know.

We saw the realtor (male) at the grocers and thought he looked vaguely
familiar, all racked with pain. About a year later, he looked 20 years
younger, face, body and all. It truly is a miracle for some. Good luck.

Make that a gin and sour with a twist of lime, and you're on! Yup, the big
5-0 strikes on Friday. The way it's looking now, Crash and I will be going
out to dinner on Friday, then we're grilling on Saturday with my kidlette
and our neighbors.

Yum! We got some fresh lettuce from Sis' garden earlier this week. I
love summer.

Hurray! I'll bet you'll both be glad to get it over with.

I'm glad you're improving! I haven't felt up to doing much Usenet
either (virus, depression, prescrip issues), but when I have, I've
missed your posts, Carol...
