I
did have my session with the Lithotriptor and it looks like the
kidney stone was busted up into small pieces which have passed. The
process was painless as I was sedated and didn’t feel a thing. No
pain or effects from the process. Now to keep up my liquid intake
regimen to avoid this in the future.
We
have had a lot of rain over the last week, in fact over 6 inches
locally on the coast and much, much more in the mountains which is
where it is needed to fill the lake where our water comes from. We
had another 1.2 inches overnight. All is welcome even with the
weather related problems it cause. Some roads have been closed, trees
are down, and the airport was closed overnight on Saturday because of
runway flooding.
As
to our phone and internet problem – I got a recorded message on
Saturday afternoon saying that “the scheduled repair would not take
place until the 23rd of February.” That was 3 whole
weeks from the time we lost phone service. I called Frontier and was
told “That is what it is.”
So,
I visited the local cable company office on Monday and set up an
appointment to have a full bundle of services, phone, internet, and
TV, installed on Wednesday. When I returned home I received a phone
call from the cable company asking if it would be OK to do the
installation on Tuesday morning. OK, now that is service.
The
installation was done on Tuesday but a few problems came up. Mainly,
our cabling in the house is 50 years old and all needs to be
replaced. That is a major job. One that I need to talk to the cable
company about. In the mean time, we do have phone, internet, and TV
but some of it needs to be fine tuned yet. All in good time.
When
the cable is replaced, I want to move some of the outlets in a few
rooms to shorten the cable runs. When this house was built the cable
was installed in every room with no real thought as to where the TV’s
would be placed.
I
have spent the last 3 days changing the email addresses for all of
our on-line accounts to the new email address. That is not a small
job as many accounts require a 2 step process to make changes while
others require that they make the changes themselves.
I decided to add a few photos from our cruise to hawaii.
Sunset as we leave Kauai.
