040904 - Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 11:33:56 -0700
040911 - ..
040912 - 2. Called the other day checking on how things are going with you.
040913 - Bob has called a few times lately, and indicated you had dinner
040914 - with him recently. Sounds like he is doing well.
040915 -

040919 - ..
040920 - 3. This morning he called again and said his brother will visit on
040921 - June 30th. Bob plans to take his brother to a wine event on
040922 - the 30th. He asked if I like wine and would like to go.
040923 - Actually, don't really drink wine, but agreed to go because I
040924 - owe Bob a visit.
040926 - ..
040927 - 4. If you will be in town that week, I can stay at your place
040928 - Thursday and Friday, then visit Bob and his brother on Saturday
040929 - for the wine event, stay over to have dinner with them, then
040930 - return Sunday.
040931 -
040932 - [...below on 120617 1048 at 1822 Robin plans to be out of
040933 - town weekend of June 30th, and her friend will stay over
040934 - the night of the 29th. ref SDS 0 9J8T
040936 - ..
040937 - 5. You and I can visit Thursday and Friday evening after work, as
040938 - discussed a few weeks ago. Don't bother about getting an air
040939 - mattress or whatever. I can sleep on the sofa, your big chair,
040940 - which I do at home a lot when I'm working. Let me know if this
040941 - will work for you. If not, I will drive down to visit Bob
040942 - Saturday morning as Mil and I always did in the past.
040944 - ..
040945 - 6. Was upset with you last week. I was in Carmel to visit my
040946 - brother and his wife Joyce. Returning home, realized I was
040947 - about halfway to your place, so seemed silly to drive all the
040948 - way home, and now driving back again.
040950 - ..
040951 - 7. Incidentally, my brother Robby mentioned that he also tried
040952 - Reufoman and got very good initial results. Like you, Rob
040953 - stopped taking Reufoman after finding severe side effects. As
040954 - well, Rob is familiar with Doctor Ongley's practice in
040955 - Ensenada, but has no experience getting that treatment.
040957 - ..
040958 - 8. Left a message for you a few days ago that Costco has a sale on
040959 - Glucosamine Chondroitin - $5 off. Saved $20 stocking up. Hope
040960 - your knee is recovering as indicated by your doctor following
040961 - cortisone injection. Again, I don't like cortisone to mask
040962 - pain in lieu of fixing the cause, but hope very much your knee
040963 - improves. Please let me know.
040965 - ..
040966 - 9. Did you try Eply's maneuver to clear the severe dizziness
040967 - problem [...due to "paroxysmal positional vertigo"...]
040968 - discussed in the letter on June 3rd? [...shown in the record on
040969 - 120603 0910, ref SDS 14 S36N...]. In any can case, has this
040970 - issue improved?
040972 - ..
040973 - 10. When Bob called earlier in the week, he seemed to indicate an
040974 - understanding that your neck and spine pain have subsided. Has
040975 - stretching with the traction device brought relief?
040977 - ..
040978 - 11. Was 108 degrees yesterday. Felt it a lot hiking at Lafayette
040979 - Reservoir. Kathy came over from Sacramento and went with.
040980 - She's on her feet for 12 hours during a nursing shift, so gets
040981 - exercise that way, and has started hiking the stairs to the 6th
040982 - floor. Still, the 3 mile hike yesterday in such high heat was
040983 - difficult.
040985 - ..
040986 - 12. Thankfully, today it's cooler, so will try for a few laps at
040987 - Lafayette after the Yankees' game broadcast now, while writing
040988 - to you. Actually, it's already hot. Not sure if I mentioned
040989 - have been having periodic episodes of peripheral neuropathy,
040990 - hopefully caused by medication. In any case, hiking relieves
040991 - symptoms and aids circulation that enables recovery.
040993 - ..
040994 - 13. So, it's back to work for me.

041413 - 2. Nice to get your newsy e-mail and too, thank you for your phone
041414 - message. [...Robin responds to the letter earlier today on
041415 - 120617 1048, above, ref SDS 0 Q45H...]. I'm sorry I couldn't
041416 - take your call, working.
041418 - ..
041419 - 3. Aww....the weekend of the 30th is when I'm going to SoCal,
041420 - plans with a girlfriend. She, Terra is going to be staying
041421 - over with me on the 29th and then we're leaving early Sat 6/30
041422 - to spend a weekend together in LA, staying over in a hotel.
041423 - Terra and I have been talking about this for a long time and
041424 - finally we're able to choose a date, coordinate our calendars.
041425 - Terra is married and has 2 grown children, a granddaughter and
041426 - lots of other family so it is difficult to find a weekend where
041427 - she is available. I'm so sorry I won't be home and will miss
041428 - your visit. [...Robin explains she will be out of town during
041429 - the visit to Bob in a few weeks, reported in the letter to
041430 - Robin today, earlier today, per above. ref SDS 0 PC8U...].
041432 - ..
041433 - Robin's friend Terra planning to stay overnight on June 29th, and
041434 - drive to Southern Califnoria for the weekend on June 30th, may be the
041435 - same friend Robin reported gave notice of leaving her assignment where

041442 - Letter from Robin continues...
041443 -
041444 - 4. Hmm...I'm thinking that is why Uncle Bob called me this morning
041445 - and left a msg to call him. I was at my meeting when he
041446 - called.
041448 - ..
041449 - 5. Well, my knee was feeling better because of the cortisone
041450 - injection. However, now it is back to where it was and
041451 - yesterday was one of the worst. I knew the injection was
041452 - temporary and I'm thinking now I need to try to ride the
041453 - stationary bike at the gym. I will try to go tomorrow after I
041454 - see the chiropractor.
041456 - ..
041457 - 6. I haven't gotten into the traction yet but need to get back to
041458 - that too. I don't sleep well at night so just the day at work
041459 - poops me out and I don't do much else. I have an appt to see
041460 - an ob/gyn the end of this month so will see what he comes up
041461 - with as a solution. I need to get lab work too just to see
041462 - where things are, how the machine is holding up hahaha!!
041464 - ..
041465 - 7. My chiropractor told me about the maneuver you mentioned and if
041466 - I was still having a problem he would do that on me. However,
041467 - I don't seem to be having any dizziness now, yay!! One down,
041468 - 2, 3 to go..haha!!
041470 - ..
041471 - 8. Yikes..108 degrees!! I would wilt! Nice though that you are
041472 - not letting the heat keep you from hiking and I'm sure you
041473 - take/drink LOTS of H2O huh?:)
041475 - ..
041476 - 9. Well, tomorrow starts another work week, another Monday.
041478 - ..
041479 - 10. I'm meeting a girlfriend this afternoon to see the movie "Rock
041480 - of Ages", looks like a fun, high energy movie, 80' music, Tom
041481 - Cruise and Alec Baldwin are 2 of the actors. I don't think it
041482 - is an Oscar movie but looks like fun!:)
041484 - ..
041485 - 11. I'm going to Bakersfield next month for my convention. A
041486 - girlfriend, Carol and I will be going together, sharing a room.
041487 - We'll leave on a Thursday, Convention is Fri, Sat & Sun, theme
041488 - of the convention is "Safeguard your Heart" with 2 dramas,
041489 - always faith strengthening and encouraging.
041491 - ..
041492 - 12. Again, I'm sorry I won't be home for your visit and wine
041493 - tasting. Wine tasting here is always enjoyable, beautiful
041494 - scenic rural countryside with rows and rows of grapevines.
041495 - People are always happy wine tasting so the tasting rooms are
041496 - full of smiles and laughter :)! I know you will enjoy the
041497 - journey even if you don't taste :)
041499 - ..
041500 - 13. Well, cuz, hope you are having a nice weekend, keeping "COOL"
041501 - in the heat.

041904 - Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:49:03 -0700
041911 - ..
041912 - 2. Thanks for the update that severe dizziness has subsided at
041913 - least in part. [...responding to Robin's letter earlier today
041914 - on 120617, above, ref SDS 0 9J9P...]. Also sounds like your
041915 - neck and back have improved without traction therapy, but still
041916 - impede sleep. [...reported in Robin's letter earlier today, per
041917 - above, ref SDS 0 TG6O...]. Hopefully, getting back in the gym
041918 - will accelerate healing your back and increase range of motion
041919 - in your knee. [...cited in Robin's letter, ref SDS 0 9J8W...].
041920 -
041921 - [On 120619 2226 Robin responds mentioning increased knee
041922 - problems. ref SDS 16 Q45H
041924 - ..
041925 - 3. You are way ahead of Bob. Have encouraged Bob for months to
041926 - use the treadmill at the gym to avoid adhesions, increase
041927 - strength and range of motion. It also improves circulation and
041928 - reduces risk of diabetes - Bob says he is borderline diabetes.
041929 - He initially resisted using the treadmill until Doctor Fow
041930 - approved. Bob reported the doctor told him at the end of
041931 - January that using the treadmill would accelerate recovery from
041932 - surgery. Now he explains reluctance to use the treadmill
041933 - fearing he cannot exercise self-control to walk, but instead
041934 - somehow his mind will force him to run, even though he is not
041935 - running anywhere else on the planet. Bob then explains that
041936 - since running will injure his knee, he avoids using the
041937 - treadmill to improve recovery as prescribed by the doctor.
041938 - Such tortured reasoning indicates there is nothing more to say
041939 - on the subject.
041941 - ..
041942 - 4. Are you getting treatment or advice on the hormone issue? Hope
041943 - you don't have to wait to the end of the month for help from
041944 - the doctor. Seems like girl friends and public information on
041945 - the Internet would have lots of guidance to get through this
041946 - transition, a path every woman travels for several thousand
041947 - years. My recollection is that Millie did not suffer severe
041948 - menopause problems, but I may not have been paying attention.
041949 - It never interfered in our activities - tennis, golf, running,
041950 - travel, what have you.
041952 - ..
041953 - 5. Sorry to hear as well that Glucosamine Chondroitin has not
041954 - helped you like it did Millie and me. Guess we are lucky.
041955 - Wish I could reach out and help you on this, but it seems you
041956 - have taken another path or that the condition of your knee
041957 - cannot be aided by Glucosamine Chondroitin. If I'm wrong, let
041958 - me know, and I'll get another bottle for you while the sale is
041959 - still in force.
041961 - ..
041962 - 6. Wonderful that you and Tarra have remained close, planning a
041963 - weekend excursion to Southern California, even though she has
041964 - quit her job where you have worked and become good friends the
041965 - past years. You deserve friendship and all the good things in
041966 - life, and I'm very pleased this has worked out. You have great
041967 - people skills and insights on life that make you attractive and
041968 - important to anyone fortunate to know you.
041970 - ..
041971 - 7. Whew!! Finally cooled off this evening at 9pm. Did not go
041972 - hiking after all today, just too busy. Actually, it's fun to
041973 - hike at Lafayette on weekends - it's like a big outdoor party
041974 - with folks stopping to visit along the route encountering
041975 - friends going in opposite directions around the reservoir.
041977 - ..
041978 - 8. Sorry visiting the week before June 30th won't work. As you
041979 - note, I have no interest in wine tasting. When Bob called this
041980 - morning, decided to say yes, because I owe him a visit, and
041981 - because you asked me to come down, perhaps in a moment of
041982 - seeming crisis that has now thankfully passed. Without seeing
041983 - you, the trip will be a chore, but will go ahead. I could come
041984 - Wednesday or Thursday to avoid conflict with Tarra staying
041985 - overnight Friday on the 29th. [...responds to Robin's letter
041986 - earlier today, reported above. ref SDS 0 9J8T...]. My sense is
041987 - that you have changed your mind, so promise not to bring this
041988 - up again. Don't want you to feel pressured, but know I can
041989 - help when needed.
041991 - ..
041992 - 9. The Bakersfield convention will be fun and spiritually
041993 - fulfilling. "Safeguard your heart" - isn't that a Barbara
041994 - Streisand song from one of her big musicals in the 70s? Seems
041995 - like a timely theme.
041997 - ..
041998 - 10. Speaking of movies, how was Tom Cruise in "Rock of Ages" this
041999 - afternoon? Hope you had fun, and get rested up tonight for
042000 - another week starting tomorrow.
