Don't make him go to the Doc on your anniversary!!! (Unless he agrees)

Take him for Japanese and both of you enjoy the day.

(Don't know anything about anything, but what Jarrett said made sense to me.)

LOVE YOUR ALLIGATOR BY THE WAY, remember when I thought it was a scarf??

Yes, we are going Japanese today.

He is not bleeding at the moment (we take each thing as a small blessing).

And we shall go and enjoy our California Rolls and Shumai.

I ADORE JAPANESE FOOD.

And I might actually NOT HAVE FISH TODAY.

I just might order some chicken!!!! lol

Thanks much

My son took me to a Korean restaurant that served Japanese also.

I got some fish on Soba noodles thing. Well, when they served it, they sprinkled
some LARGE flakes of something on top, and when the waiter put down the
dish, these were moving...like seaweed does under water.

I can't remember the name of the dish...my son would know, but he is at work.

So I looked up and said.... this is still alive? EVERYONE, at the tables nearby stood up and immediately from some "secret" location the owner appeared and
I was so embarrassed! I never saw such fast attention!

It seems that the flakes stand up and "wave" in the heat that rises from the fish. (the whole dish).... We all started laughing, and I'll never forget it.
I was never so aware of how people "listen in" on your conversations either.
Everyone else was Asian at the time in there, and we were the only non-Asian patrons! They were all conversing in their native language too. Probably had ALOT to say about ME!

Mrs. D.

I am SO happy you shared the flake experience with this board. God only knows what I would have done if I ordered a dish, and the flakes started to move. I think I would scream my head off.

At least I now know what to expect if I order something like that.

I actually ordered a lunch box special. Two little pieces of Shumai (shrimp), some brown rice, some Chicken Teriyaki, on veggies, and California Roll. And they even have a little orange right in the middle of the box (which I gave to Alan).

The meal was absolutely delicious. Guess how much my meal was?? $7.95. Alan's was $6.95. I mean, can you beat this??

Oh, I put a call in to his ortho and the guy called back after he came out of operating on someone.

I explained what happened and this is when I said "why do you think this happened?, he replied:

"Well, there might be a bit more friction going on that we would like, this is what I want Alan to do...wear the boot for one week. NO GYM, and watch the foot ulcer. If it bleeds, call me back and I'll have you guys come in, and we'll adjust the shoes. It's probably nothing, but let's wait".

This is exactly what I told Alan what the doctor would say. It seemed perfectly logical. I mean, we are talking two drops of blood, not bleeding all over the floor, like he did last year.

So I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Keeping it clean, and observing. He's mad because he can't act like Rocky. He really is frustrated. I mean, besides the neuropathy, he's had this foot ulcer for two years or more and he just wants it over. Can't blame him.

I told him we can go Japanese for Mother's Day. We asked them and there's no special menu. Same price... $7.95.

Amazing!!!!

Thanks to all for the good advice.
