Hopeful

We may have a clue to my tummy problems.  Day 21.  I am still on a very limited diet.  

 I did a bit of research on one of the medications I am on for blood pressure.  Olmesartan medoxomil can cause tummy troubles.  So I discontinued the medication and sent a message to my primary care Dr to see what he thinks.   The intense burning in my stomach is gone. My stomach is still sore.

Hopeful. 

Summer is most likely over.  The weather turned a tad chilly. 

Minnesota weather: High 65F or 18C  Low was 38F or 3C

We went out to our favorite patio place for lupper.  I had a hard shell taco...a margaritta with no alcohol...which is just lime flavored ice.

This week I have an appointment for a different kind of injection in my back...hopeful.

Cousins Bonnie and Wayne

 Yesterday we had a very nice visit with Far Guy's cousin Bonnie and her husband Wayne.  Wayne had knee surgery this Summer and is finally walking and feeling like company.  

It was good to catch up with all things family before they go back to their Winter home in Florida. 

Bonnie's Impatiens...looking really good in the cooler temperatures on Saturday. 

Recently it was Bonnie and Wayne's 60th Wedding Anniversary!  Their son shared a photo of them...and so will I.

The smiles say it all ...still mostly happily married!  Happy 60th Anniversary!

Not much new here

Same old same old.  My stomach is still iffy...I am keeping a food diary. 

My diet is pretty boring.  Apples, Bananas, Rice, Gluten Free toast and baked chicken.  Oh yes Metamucil and Activia yogurt who could forget...gag a maggot. 

Sherbet made me go into a tailspin.  I checked the facility and they say wheat is present in the same facility..so could be cross contamination...who really knows for sure.  

I did some more sorting and organizing of wood for carving.   

What's Cooking:  Rice, chicken and pork chops.

Minnesota weather:  High 69F or 21C      Low 49F or 9C  We will have one more 80F day then we are headed into the 60's for highs the next week or so.
