Bad Habits

Hi Les

Yes I have a good reason, the hospital has just taken me of palliative care and put me back on active care. In Australia palliative care means “p*ss off there is nothing we can do for you!” They did however drag me in for test every three months as I was part of a number of research projects, I never got any results or even spoke to a cardiologist. My doctor had requested the results as well and never received them. I refused to go for any more tests until I had the results of the previous tests by a cardiologist.

Unfortunately I seen the same cardiologist that was so rude to me when I was in hospital. He was extremely rude and asked what I was doing coming and seeing him. He avoided telling me any of the results and said the nurse would explain. He did however say my life expectancy had gone from 6mths to 5+ years and referred me to the heart failure clinic. Fortunately I am able to change hospitals and see a different cardiologist.

They laughed at me when I said I would live until I am at least 60 I am getting a lot closer to proving myself right!

Cheers,

Gloria

Strange, Gloria I answered you first and my post went into moderation! Now, I'm lost that contained no urls!

Okay, bad day it was Gloria's post not mine in moderation! LOL

 

Dear Gloria , I am so glad that we may cherish you for years.

At last someone who is normal. mmm perhaps I should take lessons, except .... I have grown to like some aspects of my new diet.

Hi constance,

Thank you for reminding me, mine was to do whatever I wanted. I have joked it would be my undoing if I did everything right. I can’t really see myself doing it to well I was eating crackling today.

Cheers,

Gloria

Hi george did you notice I just got one of my coments sent to be moderated. Oops I didnt mean to swear!

Gloria

No I missed that. A while ago I put in a prohibited word although right enough in context. My text was released in a few days with one of the letters changed to an asterisk. I expect your text will be changed in that sort of way. then anyone who does not know the naughty word will be shielded and the rest of us will know what you wrote.

So don't feel bad about it. Little by little we learn.

Hi George,

I got my results back from the Abdominal and testes Ultrasound and blood tests. I think I said my doctor wasn't sure about something she seen on the scan, so she sent it back to my Urologist for a second opinion.

Blood tests showed up a infection but that could be still the pleurisy in my system from before Christmas. The Ultrasound results were a little different, she pointed out a small polyp on the Epidermis, so shes asked me to keep an eye on it. She said the prostate was clear, with just a bit of calcium in it, which is normal for my age, and my liver had a bit of fat around it, but nothing to worry about. But she is keeping an eye on the infection that showed up, so shes booked me in Tuesday for more blood tests.

Apart from all that I'm not too bad...

Regards,

Les.

PS - Gloria, sorry I messaged George on your thread but I did say to him that I would keep George up to date with my recent tests, for prostate cancer.

Thank you Les. Very glad to see you contributing again. I was beginning to get anxious about you. Trust you are not too bad.

PM me please if you wish to reply

I'm curious as to why you must eat your fruit before your meal and not afterwards?

Ah, Georgeia,

There are two reasons.

1. one family of grandchildren had a run of colds so that they missed much of their schooling during the winter. Then for two years they had almost no colds. The difference, the only one other than they were older was that they started breakfast every morning with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

2. The other grandmother of those grandchildren has cured herself of serious and life threatening disease , what exactly I do not know, by amazingly careful and complex attention to her diet. One of her practices is to eat fruit first in any meal. Having seen the success of the orange juice we have adopted the fruit first at every meal.

I don't drink orange juice. I prefer to eat the orange. I also prefer a broad specrum approach, Curative diets as claimed are not proven for general use but they all seem to be subsets of vegan diets. A little animal protein does seem necessary in addition. I claim no more than it appeals to me as a sensible and cautious response to a considerable number of inadequately described claims.

Hmmm GeorgiaS, that is a good question, I always eat fruit after meals - I have always done that, and so has the rest of the family, oh apart from my middle son he eats crisps before his dinner!

Interesting George and Les, I eat fruit in between meals with a large tub of plain yoghurt every afternoon. I've started looking into what the different fruits do in relation to ME, and have discovered that pomegranates help the thyroid, bananas, oranges and pineapples help to produce serotonin, which in turn helps to produce melatonin for good sleep.

I might post a new topic to see what people know about fruit.

Please do that. I will be a follower. It will be good for reference too. I might have a little to contribute. So yes please, Georgia.
