whoops... late again...
biggest sdp news is  steve is moving on to phase #47 of his career... as of jan 1st.---    he writes well and  i have heard rumors of a book.. heaven knows he has plenty of material from  sdp... the whole place will stagger for a  step or two, and hopefully he will not be too far away- just in case he needs to collect more material for "the  book." . also he can bring tanner down from the wilds of maine.

now for a report on that funny little gadget you plug into you r car  which is supposed to tell you how  teh car is feeling.... well i bought 2 (you know"wait... for just teh cost of shipping and handling we can double.....)   so i have 2 little white  plugins- "FIXD" and with pam's help we did get my toyota hooked to  that smart phone that i never use because it is smarter than i...however... the one thing i can do now is  push the  "FIXD"  app  and it very quickly tells me i am driving a toyota sequoia and it  has nothing wrong at the moment.----- well it is dealer mjaintained- so it should be ok...   however we have 3 othere vehicles which might be is a varied state of disrepair...toyota highlander pushing 300,000--- a ford big long thing  90,000   and a ford 150 truck 100,000 and most of it pulling something heavy  like  horse trailers? 
the ad made me believe i could hook up to any number of vehicles...
well not easily....7
problem now is -- how does this work ? one phone , one fixd one car at least seems to work... how about.... one phone , 2 fixd, 2 cars, --- or do you need  2 phones 2 fixds 2 cars---  they advertise possible  one phone 1 fixd, 4 cars, --i  am sure you can see teh permutationa and combinations of this..  however we have not been able get my phone to talk to the ford-
the word bluetooth comes into this hookup...
so far it is a stay tuned episode---

mandarines.... those funny little oranges.. where every once in a while you find some really good ones.... others have pits and are sour.. someone gave me a bag of great ones --- peal easily, no pits and taste wonderfully...  she got them from the supermarket. but i pulled the label  just in case... it is HALOSFUN.COM - them is guuuuuud....
**
 re assessing those dried peaches/apples etd... from meduri-- they are wonderful-- and the reason is they are loaded with sugar- so are still recommended if you are not concerned with the amt of sugar-- or being addicted to sugar
the manderines are a healthy alternative.

 i forget who sent this... susan????
Regarding HIPAA, there is no restriction for visitors. I was in the hospital for 2.5 months earlier this year, and my friends came to see me and then emailed all my friends about my status. No HIPAA issues.  So, anyone can go visit her, get an update, and then update us all. It is just the hospital that cannot do that. Friends, etc. no problem. Gosh, my friends passed on all the gory details of my condition to each other via emails. So, anyone can go see Annie and tell us all about what she wants to share.

 vanessaaaaaaaaa ????? can you go give us a report???? vanessa  lives 3 minutes away from the hospital.

and george-- right there with bella in the hospital---i wish i could do pictures  -- maybe in 2019

TODAY WAS A LONG DAY FOR MISS BELLA. SHE HAD HER CORTISONE SHOT TODAY. WE ARRIVED AT THE DOCTOR AT 10 AND DIDN'T LEAVE UNTIL 1:15. THERE WAS A LOT OF WAITING AROUND. BUT WHAT DO YOU D WHEN THE DOCTOR IS TAKING FOREVER? YOU PLAY MONOPOLY DEAL! THE DOCTOR WANTED TO LOOK AT HER HIP THROUGH ULTRASOUND AND WHEN HE ASKED HER IF IT HURT AT A CERTAIN SPOT AND BELLA SAID YES HE LOOKS AT THE ULTRASOUND AND SAYS "I CAN WARRANT THAT PAIN". SO APPARENTLY EVEN IN THE ULTRASOUND YOU CAN TELL HER HIP ISN'T IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. HE INJECTED IT WITH LIDOCAINE AND THEN CORTISONE. SO THE FLUID SHOULD CAUSE SOME DISCOMFORT TODAY BUT SHE SHOULD BE STARTING TO FEEL BETTER IN A FEW DAYS. HE DID SAY IT LOOKS LIKE PART OF HER FEMUR BONE IS LONGER THAN IT SHOULD AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PAIN AND IT HITS RIGHT INTO THE HIP SOCKET SINCE THERE IS NO CARTILAGE IN THERE. SO HOPEFULLY THE CORTISONE SHOT DOES IT'S JOB FOR A WHILE. WE WOULD LOVE TO PUT OFF SURGERY IF POSSIBLE. BUT NOW AT LEAST SHE IS ON VACATION UNTIL JAN 2ND. SO TIME TO REST AND RELAX AND MAYBE EVEN HAVE SOME SLEEPOVERS! THANKS FOR CHECKING IN WITH US. LOVE BELLA AND GEORGE
