~SSDD~


Well....yesterday really wasn't much better then the past few days! I'm doing the best I can to rest and get better! :o) I haven't felt this bad in awhile! lol :o) When I'm sick...thats when everything will flare up! My fibro and ms is kicking my butt along with this cold/flu thingy I have! Geesh!
I sent out a card to Krissy and John. I've been praying for them as well as Simon and others in J-Land. I also asked my daughter if she could donate blood. I forgot...she just got a tattoo a month ago and she has to wait 6-12 months before she can donate again. :o( She donates blood regularly anyhow, so I knew to go to her. :o) Next time I see my son, I'll ask him as well. :o)

I got a call yesterday afternoon from my doctor. My blood tests came back already....and he's putting me on a stonger medicine for my cholesterol! :o( I guess the readings were very high again. Which once again puts me in the heart attack/stroke factor! He wants me to go on a low fat diet....which I've been on for some time now. So...I honestly don't know what to do. My daughter told me that what ever kind of diet that I am put on, she will eat the same way with me so I won't be alone doing it! :o) How sweet is that?! :o) I'm so proud of both my kids! :o) So...that was news that I was not expecting to hear! Back to the drawing board! lol :o) I'll just back track and see what and how I eat, and just go from there! :o)
I got up way too early again...I did however, get 3 1/2 hours of sleep! :o) More then I was expecting! :o) I didn't do anything yesterday...sure didn't feel up to it at all. My best friend called me and asked if she could come over...that was something else I wasn't expecting...lol :o) She works so many hours, I really don't see her that often anymore. But...She's off for a few days because she broke her foot while on the job!!! OUCHIE! Boy does her foot look horrible! I feel bad for her. Like she said...lol...between the both of us...we really make a pair! Because if one of us isn't hurt...the other one gets hurt! lol :o) When we're together...lol...look out because you'll want to get your camcorder out! We are like Lucy and Ethal! lol Too funny! :o)
My daughter came home early yesterday. I guessthe amusement park was closed! I couldn't believe it! So...she visited with her dad and other brother and sisters for awhile and came back home. This is August..who would have thought it would have been closed?! :o) Oh well! :o) There will be other days she can go. :o)
By the way...if there is anyone still playing the post card game, let me know....I still have a lot I can send out! :o)
I recieved a letter from Lisa yesterday! YAY! It finally arrived! :o) Thank you Lisa...I will write back to you! :o) Loved the pictures! :o)
Well...I'm going to go for now....have a great day! May God bless you all! Thanks for your emails and your comments! They help me through my days! :o)

I do hope and pray you get your health problems sorted out soon, I know what a worry health can be. I cannot donate blood because of being diabetic and all the medication I am on.  I am praying hard for Krissy and particularly John as I know many people are.  I wish I could have joined in this postcard thing but I cannot return them because this area just does not have postcards, used to years ago but nobody sells them now. I could not expect to receive without sending but I have enjoyed hearing about others getting them and seeing pictures.

Hi my friend,

I just have to say this about low fat and cholesterol.  Please read the book entitled The Cholesterol Myth.  My cholesterol is lower by eating a low carb diet.  Initially it rose but the end effect of cutting carbs is lower LDL and higher HDL.  This is a good thing.  Low fat just doesn't cut it.  Lower carbs will help fibro as well.

This is coming from experience.  Please read up on it and challenge your Doc.

Hugs,

Deb

I really hope you feel better soon. It sucks to be sick. An amusement park closed during the same summer...now that's not a very smart move on the parks part.

Hugs, Angela
