Dear everybody,    I've been giving a lot of flu shots again this week; but this time at American Potato, in Rexburg. Two days in a row, trying to be there during shift change, so we can catch them as they get off, or as they come on.  Lot's of nice people, and I'm always so impressed by how careful they are with keeping the rules of food processing. We even had to use their bandaids, which have a metal strip, so that if one fell off a worker, into the processing line, the whole thing would come to a stop!  Nice to know!  And I saw people I know, but didn't know they work there...many of them for 20 or 30 years, like Judy Mathie, and Linden Rinehart (Sr.)    For FHE last week we had an emergency drill, so that Grandma and I would know what to do if the power goes off while Dad is out of town. First we switch Grandpa's oxygen from the concentrator to a tank, then get the gas generator out of the garage, and put it on the sidewalk near the front porch,...

Hi Everyone,    Last week in FHE, I read part of a chapter from Little House in the Big Woods, the part about the Grandpa riding his horse through the woods, being followed by a panther.

But last week, when I was making some follow-up calls, like I do every day, I had an experience like that. I have often called patients who are people I know, or family of people I know. But this time, I called a lady who is the mother of an old friend of mine, who passed away last year. I talked with her about her shoulder sur...

Hi everybody!     Busy week!  Really enjoying the emails from you kids...nice to know what's happening in your lives.    My co-workers and I have  been having some successes with helping the doctors be more compliant with medication reconciliation. This has been a three year battle on my part.  It has taken getting my boss, and some others involved, helping them see the problems, and working together to come up with solutions...and it's happening!    We missed FHE on Monday, so we did it on Wednesday evening instead.  Venae happened to be there, and it was very nice. Dad did the lesson and made the refreshments too!  Graham cracker and frosting sandwiches.  Grandpa loved them!   Gran had the skin cancer removed from her nose on Wednesday morning. I took the day off and took her down. It didn't take too long; we were home by 1:30, even after running a couple of errands.    My cell phone, which is al...
