We are going to the Tavern for dinner tonight ... dinner went well we had Ham kept the ham bone ham and bean soup soon

Sounds like a "special" send off!

I will likely have left overs tonight. I am thinking about tuna gravy over rolls for tomorrow though.

No leftovers here, so I am going to have to buy a turkey of my own. We're celebrating Christmas with the family in two weeks (I need to get shopping!), so I will have turkey then. There were plenty of leftovers at the church yesterday, but I didn't want to seem greedy, so only took a little bit. DH just polished them off...

Having a great time with Grandson today. We went out and let the "chick-chicks" out, met the horses (they were more interested in him than he was in them), and played "Pow-pow" with the dog (shooting tennis balls with the ball launcher). He went down for a nap about 2 hours ago. Grandma got her nap in as well.

I don't go Black Friday shopping. I'd rather avoid all that.

We have our first winter storm watch going for Sunday 2-7 inches of snow with high winds. Bring it on!

Is there something wrong with you ? I'm hoping this is sarcasm.

Not sure what afib would feel like?

It would generally be a fast beat (greater than 90) and would feel irregular if you felt your pulse (not a steady beat) in your neck or on your wrist.

No...I mean it. Okay maybe it is the medicine still talking....maybe....

Any chance of lowering the dosage ?

Thanks for the health tip!

In all seriousness. I'm well stocked up on food. I need to get out in the morning and buy some chicken food. Dogs and cats have food. We haven't had a measurable snow storm in years here so yeah, okay, enough snow to go cross country skiing would be nice. Enough to take the sleds out nicer.

I have leftovers. Trying to get my head wrapped around this diet for gout to see if it does make a difference in the way I feel. Can't depend on Toradol forever. But do Y'all realize how much high fructose corn syrup is in everything! I mean. Everything I love to eat has it in it. And to make matters worse it says that turkey is very high in purines which is what a person is supposed to avoid if they have gout. Good gawd y'all, I have one and a half turkey's in the freezer and I'm the only one that eats turkey.

The diet calls for chicken or salmon preferably chicken dark meat no more than 4 times a week. No high fructose corn syrup no fruits with a high sugar content. It calls for eggs also.

I'm saving my serving of turkey for tonight and ate pumpkin pie for lunch. Okay, it didn't say I couldn't eat it, just couldn't eat the whipped cream!

And I'm not supposed to loose any more weight eating this way.....yeah, right. Now THAT was sarcasm

Nope it was a one time shot along with a steroid. Was in a lot of pain. Didn't realize how much until I stopped hurting.
