Granny's gone and done it again

I know those from seeing it in nursing and Assisted homes.
Plus, my Richard has been battling them all along. Goes to wound clinic regularly.

Is he diabetic?

What type of med to they give you for pressure ulcers?

It's a bandage that is air proof with some type of medicine already in it. Not sure what kind.

In my younger years, I too was hospitalized several times for bipolar. I was often glad for it. There were times when I called 911 myself. It felt like a safe place when I needed one and the world was a terrifying place to be. It took a couple of years of being in and out of the hospital and having my meds changed and adjusted before my doctors found what worked for me, and I ended up jobless and "virtually homeless" in the midst of it all, but eventually we got me squared away and thanks be to God I have been stable now for the past 24 years.


I don't think we want keto.

They do have a lot of recipes for bread like items. But they will never taste like the real thing. The only reason I like them is I have been off bread so long I don’t remember what they taste like. I never cheat on bread products. I do have an occasional bite of real sweets.

So glad they got you stabilized!My Aunt is in her 70s now and they took her off everything (she was suicidal) they Said at that age some people do better without any medication. I hadn't realized that

I'm 71. I see my psych every 3 months. So far he sees no reason to change my meds. I never say I was suicidal, it's weird. It's like suicide was an overpowering exterior urge I had to use every ounce of my will and strength to RESIST, and it was overwhelming, terrifying and exhausting. Like ... a compulsion I battled, not something I ever wanted to do, at all. It was ... like a spiritual/ emotional battle. It's hard to explain. I'm glad I'm free of it!

That had to of been pretty hard on you Blue.

Yes, Granny. I sought medical help while working as a live-in care-giver and ranch hand in three or four different states. My memory of those years is very spotty. I was pretty fried.

No. I need to lose around 15 lbs.
I mean, I do get to liking it once started. It's hard at first. The first week is hard on you.

But it energizes you? Staying away from sugar and additives gives more energy if you stick to it regular.

My PPs, instead of taking one 3xs a day I take 1&1/2-1-1&1/2.

 

[h2oratt]

@h2oratt I only eat between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., an 8-hour window. There's probably more to it than that ...? I'll look it up.

That’s good. It is called intermittent fasting. Very effective. How is the ozempic working?

That sounds good

That’s good. That I weaned myself of the hydrocodon. I have a pill splitter. I only take 1/4 tab when I really need something.
