Sorry I haven't been around - bjcotton - 08-15-2009
If it's not one thing it's another. My semi-new meds cause stomach pains and I figured I'd had enough of that. So I called my Dr. and told him I wasn't taking it anymore until my stomach pain stopped. Well, it finally stopped yesterday (Friday) which means I'd been off it a week. On top of that I was having pancreatitis attacks & my spine/hips were out of alignment. Took 5 trips to the Chiropractor to fix that...got it fixed Friday too. While I was at the Chiro's office I became nauseated and had to run to the bathroom. He adjusted me and when I left I stopped at a fruit stand and bought some green grapes (all this happened around noon). After I got to my sis' house, I ate a few more grapes and then took a nap. I woke up when she got home at 4:30 PM, only to discover that my tongue had swollen and filled my whole mouth. Off to the emergency room. Hours later after various medications I was allowed to go home. The diagnosis was that I had had an allergic reaction to the insecticide (The grapes were from South America). They reminded me at the hospital to ALWAYS was any fruit or vegetables before eating them. So far today (Saturday) has been okay.
All this has been going on for about 3 months, so being without pain today was absolutely wonderful.

Billy, you don't deserve all this--hang in there--this too will pass my friend. In the meantime don't eat any chili!!

That's a bummer of an Odyssey! Always wash your fruit! The rest of the problems are a little more complicated and I pray you're back to your spry self soon. Like Old Bay said, avoid the chili for awhile.

Good grief! If it's not one thing, it's another. Hope you're back on track soon.

Wow, you sure have had one crummy summer so far. We've missed you and all the fun topics that you contribute to. Hope now that you are feeling better, you will join in again.

Thank you for your good wishes. As long as I can make it through today canning pickled beets I will count myself lucky.

I noticed your absence and figured that, since I haven't been around regularly, you had gone on vacation or something. I am so sorry that you have had to go through all of this crap. Keep feeling well, now!
