This week

 We ordered groceries to be delivered, I cleaned out the fridge before they were delivered. Many days of no good food in there...some 12 days old.  Yuck.

Far Guy worked on his wood carvings.  He has some new ones happening.  On Thursday we both worked on Christmas Ornament Carvings...one more afternoon and we should have them all ready to paint. 

I took care of beginning of the month bank stuff and paid some bills.  Called the bank as they sent me an email...and the gal who I talked with had no idea (twice)...finally got to a gal that knew something.  I think I know more about Bill Pay than they do.  I warned them that many more people would be calling. 

I am part of an Arthritis Study...they want my blood and will send someone out to do the blood draw and send me a check:)

On hold to schedule a couple of medical appointments...one that was mysteriously cancelled.  Really? 

I put a chicken breast in the crockpot, Far Guy shredded the chicken and I put in a can of Canoe Wild Rice and some gluten free chicken broth...it was really good...I had more rice than chicken.   I made enough so that I can have soup for a couple of days. 

On Thursday I was on the hunt for bananas that were not green...I found some organic ones. Other errands in town were accomplished while far Guy had his infusion.

I am feeling somewhat better but still very tired.

One day at a time.

25

 Our youngest Grand is 25 years old today.  Hardly seems fair that he grew up...always being the baby...baby Adam.

We have not seen him since Christmas because he lives in Western North Dakota.  

However he is getting married at the end of September...so we will be able to hug him then. We are thrilled that he found his person.  Sad that they will live in Western North Dakota...but we will adjust...maybe.  We miss him!

Love you always and forever baby Adam.  I was honored to be there when you drew your first breath and cried.  You were/are perfect!

Home

 We went to my Dr appointment...no confirmed diagnosis...could be viral, could be gluten intolerance, could be a medication reaction.  Some tests are still pending.  I am to add fiber to my diet in the form of Metamucil and two days later add Activia yogurt.  The Dr says all my good gut bacteria is gone. 

I am low on Potassium...hence the fatigue...I am to eat Bananas because the Dr feels that the Potassium pills would put my stomach in a tailspin...again.

So we are at home resting.  I ordered groceries to be delivered on Wednesday.  

I have been reading a lot, but not blogs...I will be around eventually.  

Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers.  I appreciate them.

Just like that it is September...the past 10-12 days I have been in a fog. Jen, Andy and Sadie took very good care of us!

BRAT diet

 I am real tired of Bananas, Rice, Apples and gluten free Toast.  It sucks. I am feeling better but still have pain in my stomach. Water is really boring too.

More tests were done and nothing is conclusive so far…some of the cultures take days.

My other baby brother, my sister and Jen all are Gluten intolerant…so there is that to consider too. 

I see the Dr again on Tuesday.  He “thinks” that it might be the Prilosec that the Gastroenterologist wanted me to take.  It is a strong possibility. 

I am still very tired.
