What a crappy vacation Don. Sory to hear about your dog. May I suggest a couple lifestyle changes...

 

A lightning rod,

A surge supressor,

A soft food diet,

A bull mastiff,

A generator,

and some doppler radar.

:eeek: what kind of dog was it Don???

[Don S at Barefoot CNC South]

Hi

Have surge supressor but wife rearranged Pc because I am expanding the office, she did the rewiring and forgot. The dog was xxxxzu gray and the wife just clipped her all except the tail so she looked like a squrriel. Seems like a pattern here LOL wife? Wife called me tonight said the waterfall pump stopped working.

Glad to back at work.

There are still a good many people that really like that town and I'm not baggin on it.

So how's the new job?

[Jack Mitchell]

Bummer but we had to cancel our vacation.

My wife has an affliction called Bells Palsy (Facial paralysis on one side only).

To make a long story short, canceling the flights, numerous motels, bed & breakfasts, etc! Was a huge hassle, given the day before we leave complexities. We were set up for three days at Baddeck as per Andrew’s haggis, chips, and mushy pea’s recommendation.

 

She is awaiting a ct scan which is backlogged until Oct 5th – were looking into driving to Buffalo for an expensive alternative to waiting for 2 months. Her doctor is on vacation until next week and we probably won’t react without his blessing. This could be related to a blocked saliva gland – but heck I’m a lover and not a doctor.

 

Regards, Jack

Jack,

 

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. My sister had Bells Palsy when we were in High School, and you know how high school kids can be. But I think it took a little over 2 months for her to recover. That was my first knowledge of it. But I hope everything turns out okay!

[A-ron1286490684]

I sincerely hope all turns out well Jack. From all I've heard about Bell's Palsey it is usually temporary. I hope this is the case with your wife's condition.

I'm happy to say he has 95% recovered. His eye gets a little watery sometimes when he eats. Patience!!!! is the key! He would get very frustrated at times. Tell her to hang in there and be patient. It happened to him right after he had some dental work done. Best wishes.

[Jack Mitchell]

Thank you all, for the links and the kind thoughts; somehow we will get through this, and when we do I’ll be sure to post what and when we finally get to take our vacations.

 

 

Regards, Jack

[Matthew]

Hope she gets better, Jack.

Jack, hope things work out for your wife. When you do, however, get a chance to get away - have you ever concidered driving to Toronto and taking the "Fast Fairy" into Rochester? If you ever do - drop me a line & I`ll be glad to point you in some intersting directions. Once again - good luck to you and the misses.

[CAM-mando]

Jack, sorry to hear about your wifes difficulties ... hopefully you guys will get to make up the vaca when things are smoothed out.
