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.

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.
DD> 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.

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.

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!
