Good night Perchie, sweet dreams

Good morning, Team Rachel.

You guys bring a big smile to me. Kind, considerate, and if you really could, would share your very own ice cream!View attachment 1394555

Kind, considerate, filled with empathy - YES.

Share their ice cream ? Don't bet on it.

Good morning Team Rachel.

I'm with sour about them sharing ice cream. I just don't see it happening in this lifetime.

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...

I’ve been Keto for a year and a half now and love it. Do not do Atkins though! That’s the old school high protein with processed crap Keto. Please look into Keto for cancer- nutritionally dense, full of leafy greens, cruciferous veggies and healthy fats. Low to moderate protein.

Oh, and hi everyone

@FridayYet , . Hope that things are going well for you.

Hi Sour et al, I’m OK. I really don’t have much to complain about, maybe I’m just b1tchy in general these days. Still not healed and the little hole has an annoying burning feeling.

Been working in the garden a bit, feels like I’m behind again though. Going camping with the grandkids over Memorial Day, that will definitely perk me up!

mint chocolate chip is my favorite!

Sadly B&J sent their Mint Chocolate Chunk to the graveyard. Along with several other family favorites like Bovinity Divinity and Dublin Mudslide. Finding we like many of the flavors of another Vermont start up ice cream company - Island Ice Cream in Grand Isle, VT. They didn't start in an old gas station like B&J, in fact no storefront at all. DD1 doesn't like their Mint Chocolate Chip, too minty. DW and I like it though. They are still small, not big enough to get bought out by a conglomerate. Hope they never do.

The humidifier was a separate unit when I had a CPAP. Really glad I can do the oral appliance instead.

Hi , any books you can recommend or websites?

The Keto sites I am finding are devoted to using it for Epilepsy... apparently its been used for Epilepsy since the twenties....

My Cardeologist recommended it.... I guess it doesnt matter except to keep it 70 25 and 5.... 70 percent fat 25 percent protiens and 5 percent carbs....

Here is a website I found.... Its funny until I found out they wanted money.... which is OK but I want to do more research before I dive in.... Besides right now I have to stick to the Radiation Diet... To protect my Poor haggard Digestive tract.

I like cherries in ice cream but, am starting to hate nuts. My old, old teeth can't handle them.

I am getting there too. Ice cream with chunks is best left to disolve slowly in the mouth so you know exactly when the hard bits are.

I have only popped off 2 enamel bits from my teeth. but the cost scares me... so I am very careful now.
