Granny's gone and done it again

[Cynthia12]

We are having a chili cook off at church. Thinking of making a keto chili. I have never done it so I don’t really want to take something I have have never made.

I did the keto diet. I lost a lot on it! Kept it off for over a year now. . If I had known of a keto chili back then, I would have been in a very happy place!

I hate to bring something to a contest if I have never made it. Plus if it is bad people will have a bad impression of keto. You do know beans do not belong in chili.

Beans belong in chili! Yes they do...?

They won’t work on my knee unless I get a clearance from the heart doctor. Nothing wrong with my heart but I had a calcium scan last year to prove to my dr that eating all this fat does not cause heart disease. During the scan they saw my aorta was enlarged so they won’t schedule me for my knee surgery until I go see him. I understand they have to cover their butts but I have no insurance except for something big like a hospital stay. My deductible is 2000 and we pay over 600 dollar a month for premiums. I will be on Medicare next august. Wonder how much my co pay will be then? I understand there are all sorts of different Medicare plans. My husband is just using his VA.

medicare will pay 80% of hospital and yes, you need to pick a plan because they offer to pay the rest . You can also get a part D to help pay for drugs and you can apply at the SS office for extra help to get your deductible back . Dont worry too much if you pick humana or blue cross because they are all about the same.

Medicare will help you out tremendously!

It's my siatic nerve lately... spelling...I know it's nothing compared to other pain, but this is driving me up the wall! I should say it's driving me to the couch! It hurts pretty good. Starts in the lower back, of course, then down through my butt, then down that leg, left side.

Tom and Robert have medicare and medicaid. Its like the best insurance to have. They have small co pays on meds half the year like $3.00 a script. thats it.

I have had that a few times too. Its pretty painful. Ice seems to help me.
