Subj : Re: rats was: Note from To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon May 18 2020 19:14:04 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 12-May-2020 08:25 <=- NB>>>> You (Daryl) may still be able to get them.... COVID-19 won't last NB>>>> forever, so the travel restrictions will be lifted from that... the NB>>>> hernia is easily repaired, more than likely... and eventually the NB>>>> financial will permit it also.... :) BM>>> FWIW they're allowing some elective surgeries in Iowa and Illinois BM>>> starting either tomorrow (April 26th) or the beginning of May. NB>>> I've heard rumors of elective surgeries being soon allowed here, as NB>>> well... :) BM>> Daryl hopes to have his umbilical hernia resolved in a few weeks; NB>> And that will be good... :) BM> Yes, not sure of his degree, just I know in general it's not good in BM> general when "one spills their guts", especially if the part becomes BM> strangulated. I've had an umbilical hernia... fixed, as well... didn't get to the strangulated stage, thankfully.... BM>> I need to have a colonoscopy done - no rush, just slightly overdue on BM>> the five-year. At this point Scott County is still 'closed' so not BM>> considering. NB>> I'm sure your GI's office will be calling to schedule once things NB>> start to open up.... Meanwhile, I just got a call from mine, that the NB>> rescheduled appt for June 8 needed to be pushed farther out, to July NB>> 15... at least I'm not overdue on my next colonoscopy yet... :) BM> I received a reminder card last Fall so might not be getting anything BM> further; will call to schedule a short while after things re-open BM> here. I suppose an exploratory call (are you open yet?) might be in order, especially as you are overdue... ;) Given the special circumstances, though, they might be reaching out to you once they open... I'd not wait on that, if it were myself, though... :) BM>>> An e-mail from my optometrist's office said they're starting to take BM>>> appointments again starting May 5 -- Tuesday; maybe using Monday to BM>>> get the facility clean and dusted. NB>>> And/or sanitized.... :) I should call and see if things are opening NB>>> up that way here as well.... ;) BM>> Today is May 5th -- I don't recall getting a 'for-certain' e-mail from BM>> them last week. Do need to have the left contact lens/eye checked -- BM>> again that's not a must-do-now thing. NB>> Now that it's May 11th, have you heard anything from them...? I NB>> still haven't checked on my doctor's office.... BM> They're reopening next Monday (May 18th), though "no new fittings for BM> contact lenses through the month of June". The e-mail also included BM> several new rules including temperature reading on entering, multiple BM> hand cleanings as move from section to section, masks, spacing of BM> appointments to minimize contact with out patients. Last I heard here, it's still just curbside delivery of glasses, no fittings.... a friend at church is an optician.... BM> ... Why is it called chicken fried steak if it's BEEF? Steak means it's beef.... the chicken fried is just the method, of course... the batter/breading you'd use on chicken pieces to fry them... But you probably knew that already... ;) ttyl neb ....
