DH is a morning person, I'm not. Worked too many 2nd shifts during my career. now I still get a second wind about 8 pm only I make myself got to bed by 9:30 or 10PM at the latest so I can get up by 7.

DH still knows not to ask me anything important till I've had my first cup of coffee or noon, whichever comes first.

Woke up with my right knee killing me. bleeping gout! Doc warned me that I would suffer if I overdid it, not from strained muscles but from the allopurinal breaking down the purine crystals around my joints. Still made it into town for groceries and to drop off the taxes. Just couldn't kneel or step up or down on my right leg. I still have half of my Iris bed to dig up and replant before the rain hits this afternoon late. Hopefully DH will help me with it.

Really? My right knee is killing me too. And it is swollen. No idea what i did to it.

Do you take anything for the gout?

Probably Allopurinol.

Hi ALL!! Been busy trying to get the farm back in order, and getting ready for gardening. All to better my food options. Blame the chickens for this journey.

This is a very long 2 hour video, but we can be the masters of our destiny, IF we know how the medical field works, and how it is not helping us, and the bottom line is our food.

Titled: Super session in the 2-hour European Parliament - so many issues raised by Dr. Aseem Malhotra, MEP Nathan Gill, Sir Richard Thomson, Professor Hanno Pijl and Sarah Macklin.

When I took charge of my health, and used the internet and listened to knowledgeable friends, my health is improved when standard medical care failed me.

Hope this helps others.

Forget the knee!

I snapped my front right tooth off at the bridge level at lunch time today. I am off to the dentist soon.

Since this one is a permanent tooth, Delta Dental will pay their part too.

I originally broke off the two front top teeth in the 6th grade while waiting in lime for my turn at 4-square. I slipped on black ice with my hands in my pocket.

These crowns were put on in the early 1980s. The one on the right seems to have a weak spot, maybe a cavity? It broke off while I was eating a bacon burger.

I am off to the Dentist now!

I am waiting for a temporay tooth fix and then will have to go back to get the permanent fix when the new crown is built. The tooth needs to be built up with some pins apparently too. I will also get my first root canal. Oh Joy!
