My leukemia's back.

[Cynthia12]

No I dont get it till monday after training....

You and I will be going through the same thing. Maybe I'll have some helpful tips by then...maybe. Hopefully, things will be just right from the get go! Glad those numbers left for radiation treatment are getting lower.

Alaskan & I are exempt from sharing ice cream. I doubt he would like Rocky Road and I don't care for mint chocolate chip. But yeah,if Alaskan wanted it, I would share. We've been ice cream buddies for quite awhile.

Only Alaskan can understand the grief when you accidentally take home the wrong flavor- it has happened to both of us too many times to forget. Plus I get so mad

 

[perchie.girl]

I rarely say no to ice cream Even the ones I don't care for.... I am a texture person and there are some like Oreo's in Ice-cream or milk shakes....

But my favorites are a reasonably short list.... as long as they are made from good ingredients...

French Vanilla
Dark Chocolate
Coffee
Dulche De Leche
Butter Pecan
Cherry Garcia or equivalent
Mint Chocolate Chip

I also like Sherbet Mango mostly but Raspberry too.

Mine will be a Bipap machine which lowers the pressure when you exhale. It will also have a port to plug in the oxygen generator. I have already slept half a night with the mask at the sleep test. They have to throw them away after the test if its not a good fit for you... so they gave me my last one. its already adjusted. But this new machine may need some tweaks for a mask like it. So technically I already have a spare.

You have dry air like we do Right? I am hoping there will be a reservoir for water....

I cant wait for the real health benefits to start kicking in.... Better Rest leads to less anxiety lower blood pressure and in my case relaxing my heart so the muscle has help being less stiff. Oh and loosing weight.

I had my Cardeologist appointment last week and her results were very intersting. They did an Echo Chardiogram looking for an enlarged heard because my blood pressure had not been controlled for several years. What they found was thick stiff heart muscle. Not enlarged but not flexible either. She was deligted to find out I had been approved for the Bipap.... She said it will help.

BUT she dropped the other shoe... I am required to exercise thirty minutes every day... and loose 20 pounds by the next appointment in six months.... She suggested a Ketogenic Diet... . I have NEVER had a doctor suggest a diet type. Only waived a vague list of things I should or should not eat. its similar to Atkins but dialed up a bit... fewer Carbs.

Right now I cant do the diet. Within certain aspects. I need to get the book on it or sign up for a website...

Cynthia & Deb - hope your treatments bring a good turn around for both of you.

@perchie.girl you are a good person! You probably even eat what people put in front of you! ( I try, I DO try to be polite and eat nasty food with a happy face when people are watching)

But I am with DD, I would rather starve (or at least get impressively crazy hungry) before eating food I don't like.

DD is referring to the time I grabbed the super expensive brand of mint chocolate chip.. because I needed that pick me up that only truly excellent and super creamy ice cream can give.

I got home, started to serve myself.. AND IT WAS PISTACHIO! ! I tried to take a small spoonful. It sat in the freezer and rotted. (in the door... so got ice crystal nasty) Just

Diva feels the same about mint chocolate chip.

We need a teleporting swap button... then we could send each other oops ice creams. Pretty sure our tastes are opposite. I do NOT like Rocky Road... I can force myself to eat it... I think...

Aside from the disappointment of not getting what I wanted I would give it a try. I have never had pistachio ice-cream before so would be interested because I like pistachios..

I was taught to taste and give it a try even if I had had the food before and didn't like it. Learned over the years that certain foods changed flavor.... Or maybe my pallet changed in time. Even Snails... I have tried them several different ways and kind of liked them but then realized cover rubber bands with enough butter and garlic and herbs and they would taste the same. I will pass there are other things I would rather try some day.

Found out something interesting.... I love tripe. Mom boiled it for hours then cooled it down sliced it into strips then breaded it in Cornmeal salt and pepper and fried it in bacon grease or corn oil.... Yummmy.... But do not like Tripe in Menudo... Boiled and slimy chewy and livery .... Same taste somewhat.... but the texture gets me. I will eat a few pieces but pick out the rest...

So when I dont like something outright I say thank you take a small portion give it a taste I will say I usually dont like this but its the best I have had.
