Checked out the Forks over Knives.. now, while plant based and vegan don't scare me, I am a meat eater. The other thing is there's a LOT of fruits and vegetables that I cannot have...you'd think they'd be better for me, but it depends on the potassium and phosphorus levels. Beans are a no go, potatoes are no go, whole grains are no go...see what I mean? I will hunt through the website for recipes I can have though.

 

Down here in Florida we have a little thing called "flesh eating bacteria." Usually occurs when your in water, salt, fresh or brackish into any skin opening. Real bad stuff.. A neighbor was at a boat ramp catching blue crab when one pinched him and drew blood. They had to cut off his arm to save him. Infections are no joke...sorry for what you are going through. I have had a few incidentents of cellulitis and thankfully the VA are on top of there game, or was. Hopefully in a few months you will be strong enough to start digging out from the snow drift that comes down from the northern tundra...

 

Starting to get things in order...this took forever as the box these were packed in got bounced around pretty good, sending all the little bits to the bottom of the box...
🙄

 

No "before" pics?

 

Didn't think people would want to see empty drawers of a tool crib, but I can get the rest of the empty drawers on camera for you Pete

BTW did I tell you I talked to Neal the other day?

(It was a one sided conversation, LMFAO)
🤣🤣

 

What did Neal have to say?

 

He's been busy with work, said he's worked OT daily since last summer, and kid number 3 is on the way.

 

Wow!! No wonder he isn't making Jeep stuff!!

 

Just thought I'd share an update on my ongoing recovery...everyday is better, I'm gaining strength, and am now able to get around without a walker. My lab numbers improve weekly, and Friday I was told they're going to dial back my dialysis, however I don't know what that means. The doctor just wrote "reduce dialysis" on my file, but wasn't clear on how, and of course he was unavailable all day Friday, so the nurse told me not to show up Monday, and she would get verification on what we're going to do.

Regardless, moving in the right direction. I can't wait to get these tubes out of my neck.

 

Great news!!

 

Glad to hear it

 

Got any pics you could post up?

Just for Mark......

 

Any chance you aren't as ugly as you used to be?

Hey, we can always hope.....

 

Nope, still fugly as hell. My pops and me grilling steaks for Father's day...

 

Well, at least he's a good looking fellow!

Hey, if you want a real treat, forget the charcoal. Get some really dry white oak and grill over that. You will not want to go back!
