You can check out/print up the owners manuals here. I have looked over the site yet, but maybe there is a help desk there. Leslie Here is a link that might be useful: GPS Owners Manuals

I hope all goes well - and as you said in your other post -you might take next week off work. If you possibly can, I would do so and stay in the house. You absolutely do not want to catch a cold or anything that would prevent you from having the surgery. I am now on day 16 of the cold - I do not sleep well to begin with and of course the post-nasal drip starts big time during the night and I wake up coughing. I am allergic to anti-histamine and decongestant - heck, any cold/flu med - so nothing can help me. I do everything possible but no matter where you go people are coughing on you - the office, the subway, the stores - nothing like a cashier sneezing all over your credit card before giving it back to you. My husband had 3 eye surgeries about 1 1/2 years ago and if you had a cold you were toast - so I had him so full of antioxidants etc. it wasn't even funny. For some reason Cold F/X works for him - I don't know if it is a gimmick or not, but he got off a 20 hour plane ride from South Korea without a cold - first time ever - good thing because the third surgery was scheduled for 2 days after his return. Quite a few people who showed up for surgery were turned away because of major colds. I know this will be a very long week for you. I hope you do well on Wed. and during the surgery. It is the waiting that is the hard part - before and after surgery. And if your surgeon has to speak with your GP etc. before you get the results that won't help. Hopefully not. You shouldn't have to wait the whole weekend for some results.

Hi Sue, Good to hear that your health is improving, with treatment, and you are so pleased with the people who've been helping. Perhaps your daughter would appreciate it if you give her a call every few days, at a convenient time, to let her know that you are doing O.K., as a number of our younger ones are concerned that we have something happen and they'd like to offer some assistance, but are unaware. If you have one of those push-button alert systems, that'll alleviate her concern somewhat, but I find that my son likes a call rather frequently to hear that I'm my usual self (and perhaps you shouldn't take that last too literally!). ole joyful

LOL Try to go somewhere with 2 US border points in between. Last year at this time my cousin and I left Harriston, Ontario to come home. We were trying to get to the 401. Harriston is pretty out of the way and the closest big city is Guelph. Going to Harriston we got off near Kitchener and then there are a lot of turns and twists through farm land before you get to Harriston. On the way home we were told there were a lot of bridges closed for inspections so there would be detours. We set the GPS to the 401 and followed what it said. We kind of thought something was out of whack but continued on. We hit a lot of detours and followed them. We seemed to be travelling a long time and should have already been on the 401. We went through this small town and I saw a sign for Ipperwash and I laughed and said we were way out of the way and no where near the 401. We weren't worried though because we had both been in the area many times. We still listened to what the GPS was telling us to do. Then I saw a sign for Sarnia and I thought Oh Oh this thing was taking us to the US border. Luanne did press Home when she programmed in where we had wanted to go. We kept going and I had a bad feeling. As we neared Sarnia I mentioned we should turn off the highway we were on but Luanne wanted to trust the GPS. Before we new it we were on the highway that would take us right to the Blue Water Bridge and their was no turnoff and if there was a turnoff we couldn't get to it because we were in the wrong lane and surrounded by semis. Living in a border city I put my thinking cap on and realized there would be a duty free shop and we could turn in there before we got to the customs booths. We couldn't have crossed the border anyways because we had all kinds of sausage, cheese, meats and canned fruit we picked up at a Mennonite store. Sure enough there was the duty free shop and we somehow got over to turn into the parking lot. Whew! We asked someone how to get to the 401 and we were told it was quite a ways away. I said we should just try to get on the Old #2 highway - even though it would take us through a lot of small towns it would get us home and be more scenic. And that is what we did. The GPS kept telling us to turn left every time we came to a crossroad. This thing was determined to take us through the US to get home. We were laughing so much everytime this voice told us what to do. Every time it did Luanne would shoud NO. Then when we were out of reach of the US border in Sarnia and closer to Windsor it tried to get us on the 401 because it was running parallel to us and we could see it but we decided to stay on the old road. We laughed outselves silly. Even though we added an hour or two on our trip home we had a good time and saw some of the old towns like Oil Springs along the way. Anne
