hi

Happy Easter everyone. jeff is once again trying to drum into me how to run this blasted thing. I have "learnt" how to download the pictures from my camera. YEAH! but all of these blogs v posts & toggles for different "apps",what ever the heck that is? I don't know if I'll ever catch on to all of it. jeff sez I will. I'm doing pretty well. saw the dr. today and my anckles are looking a little better. if they keep it up it's good news I'm not as dilligent as I should be with my exercises but am back on a tharapy schedual at the clinic.no changes with jeff or dad.all for now. love you all mom/g'ma/wina

p.s.had a good easter dinner just dad jeff lindsey & me.

here we go again.

Well, 2 days to go till surgery time. Today is my last work day. If there's anyone out there that doesn't know. I'm going to have another surgery to repair my pace maker. This will be the 2ND one. I'm in a fight to get the hospital to cover my 3500.00 annual out of pocket expenses. If they don' t do it then this will probably come down to a legal fight. I'll be out from work for 3 to 4 weeks. depending if my store director is willing to let me be on light duty.

Getting mom a laptop sounds like a very good idea. I wish that I could help out. but, sigh. I can't . The days of Wine and Roses. has passed. I'll give you all an update after I get out of surgery.

Computer???

OK, Mom wants a laptop. She feels it would really help her, because it is hard for her to maneuver into and out of the den to use the desktop. So! Any $$$ help would be great. We want a large screen and a webcam, not sure of the gigs and bites, We want to get the done by say two weeks. It's a suprise, so hush. (I know this is a family forum) But it is a suprise - dont tell Mom OR Dad. OK. Any ideas or input, sent to email jeffreitter@yahoo.com and carolyn_reitter@yahoo.com

2011/01/12, Wednesday

It's Wednesday, Louisa is here and will fly out Thursday to Seattle to be with family for Pat's funeral. She is doing well and having a time with a new part of life. ;o)
(Great/Grand) Mom is still working on recovery and has started back walking now that the Docs have been able to get the swelling down. She wore a portable pump that drew fluids out of the ulcer that had formed on the right ankle. The doc had to do a cleaning up of the ulcer to get the fluids draining better. She had an MRI and the doc gave her an ok that the bone had not been compramised. Today she has a apptmt at 3pm and will get the results of a circulation test. So for today, as of this moment she is doing well and better then she had been.
Iditarod is coming up, first Saturday in March, on the 5th. Dad is getting things ready for the Tudor crossing portion of the ceremonial I-did-a-ride, complete with Iditarod Ham & Beans. YUM! Let us know if you are planning to be in Anchorage for Fur Ronde and or Iditarod.
Christmas '10 was a little toned down at the Reitter's Abode, but with all the family in town that was really what the Holidays are about. Christmas Eve Dinner was Roast Beef and all the trimming at Judy and Gaylord's. And Mom broke from the mold and had a Christmas Day brunch with breakfast casseroles and sausage and pastries. She wants to do that next year again.
New Year's Eve was a BLAST this year. Anchorage passed and ordinance to allow personal use of fireworks - first time in 40yrs. It was incredible! I took Mom over to the neighbors where we set off our own display and then went upstairs and enjoyed a wonderful Fondue party until Mom said she was tired and I brought her home and 2am. Happy New Year!!!
OK, Louisa wants to get moving, so this is all for now.
Oh, the Great Alaskan Beer & Barleywine Festival is this Friday and Saturday. A group from work and some friends of Mom & Dad's are going. Should be fun.
until next time. Jeffr
