Oh my gawd... bees and honey! Sounds really fun except for that little allergy detail!
Hey,
It's me again. I have had quite an exciting morning.My daughter called a bit ago and told me that she and her husband were getting ready to cut down an old rotted tree located at the back of our property. Over the weekend, I asked them to cut it down but I also asked her to have one of the boys climb up and make sure an owl wasn't living in the tree. The tree was old and dead but had a huge perfectly round hole that I thought would be perfect for a little owl. Well, this morning, her 18 year old climbed up the tree and took a look in the hole and found a huge bee hive. She called a local bee keeper, and he was so excited to get to move a wild hive. At first, he was going to take the entire bee population with him but he had no idea how huge it was so he made a temporary hive at the back of our property. I'm deathly allergic to bees and wasps so it cannot stay on our property; although, he said they would not bother me. He also said he will keep an eye on it and may have to make two hives from it and he said he has an extra queen...who the hell just happens to have an extra queen bee around? The good news is that he helped her remove the honey from that old tree and she said she filled ten five gallon buckets and several gallon jars and my old dishpan. My daughter said the honey was thick from about half the tree's length and the tree is very tall. More importantly, most of the honey is usable. Some went into the new hive, and some she said the bee keeper said to spread around and the bees will pick it up and use it...who knew? So, we may run down there tonight so I can help her pasteurize the honey and clean the wax. I know honey doesn't have to be pasteurized but I am a freak about pasteurizing certain types of food. LOL....plus, she and I made some cheese a while back and she said it is good to eat...I'm thinking she may not know what's ready, so we are going to check the cheese and maybe get a wheel of it...this is my fourth batch since my cheese making friend taught me and I am always surprised how freakin' easy it is.
My DH said we might just try to give this bee keeping thing a try...that's a sure fire way to keep me in the house.
Well, that's my excitement for the day. My daughter said there are already people trying to buy the bees. Who knew that wild honey bees would be something anyone would want. LOL...she just texted me and said that the bee keeper thinks there's another hive in another tree that isn't all the way dead...the other day, I saw something flying around that one and thought it was wasps. Maybe more honey. Did you know that they tried to treat my MS with bees? Sure did...liked to have killed me too. LOL
as far as I know - iron needs proteins to bind to to make ferritin. If you don't have enough proteins - the iron infusion are only going to restock free iron in your blood but may not build into ferritin - the iron saving account.... I think you may need to increase your proteins... just saying... Plus you need great amount of proteins to heal post op... crackers ain't it... you know that, right?
I am glad you are doing better. HUGS.

Hala,
I need a face lift in the worst way.
Yoga is a wonderful way to gain strength and burn calories. I love it.
It is hot in AR....DH still uses the air conditioner and I still pile on the sweaters. LOL....
Yvonne,
I hope you made the day without the sweets. I, too, am always freezing. My husband loves Greek yogurt and I do too but I can only eat a bite or two before the belly starts freakin' out. LOL...
When I was at my daughter's the other day, she had pork tenderloin in the refrigerator, so I went ahead and cooked it for her and her family for dinner. She also had some turnips and turnip greens so I made those as well. She said the pork was delicious...it sure did smell good.
Hey Julia and those to follow,
Yesterday was all day doctor visits and I am just happy to have a day of staying inside. My sister made me some thumb cookies out of almond and cashew butter and she used splenda in place of sugar. She thinks I am iron deficient because I am a vegetarian but I told her it was an absorption thing so she has been making all kinds of high iron foods for me and sending them up the mountain with my daughter. LOL....my daughter said, mom, don't eat the beans she made because I think she put pork fat in it. LOL....Bless her heart...she means well.
I cannot wait until the weekend fixer upper is fixed. LOL...I have a huge craft room plan that includes French doors that will go out to a little patio...I cannot wait. Of course, now it is what my granddaughter calls the old ugly blue house that stinks...and it did stink. But it was so freakin' cheap.
Anyway, today I do leg lifts to strengthen my thigh and lower leg so recovery can be good.One of my yoga gals is coming by to do some upper body yoga with me and my meditation coach is dropping by too.
B: don't judge---chips. I know I should have cooked something but the chips were here and there was just enough for a bowl...like cereal, right?
L: Left over catfish and green beans and okra
D: Oyster stew....
Snacks: I will not lie...I will probably eat crackers all day long...they love me; they really love me.
Tomorrow, I will do better.
Linda,
I am not taking the iron. The hematologists said it is useless for me to take oral iron and they don't like to give intramuscular iron. She said the iron infusions will be for life and hopefully, once we get my levels up enough, I want have to have so many so close together.
I have put off having my knee fixed for years. Two years ago, the ACL ripped and I couldn't move my leg worth a damn. I did this sort of hip walk where my hip was trying to move my lower leg up and down...after the surgery, the surgeon showed me the pictures he took and he said you have bone rubbing bone and soon, it will start locking and you will fall and break an arm or leg...then he said, look at this, and he pointed at a portion of the upper leg bone at the joint and it was crumbling. He said, those bone chips will eventually tear at the muscle and your bones will eventually fuse together...I laughed at his scare tactics and a few months ago, I couldn't bend my knee. I went back to him and he did X-rays and said, yep, you have fusion of bones....no shots will help, no PT will help...are you ready for the knee replacement....I sure don't want to have the surgery but I am killing my other knee and my shoulders trying to get myself around...damnit. But, my brother keeps reminding me how hard it was on him before his knee replacement and how active he is now, so I am hopeful that the new joint will be good...who knows. I've heard good and bad but I just want the pain to stop. Over the last few weeks, I'd let the cut the entire damn leg off if it would give me relief. LOL
Good Morning everyone
I am headed to the hair salon. I have not had a good haircut or color since I left here in June. It is so past time. My hair is naturally dark blonde and I highlight it a lighter blond so it doesn't look bad as far as roots showing but it gets dull. My lady is the only one that can successfully cut my hair. It is thin and fine, it never grew up, I have the hair of a 5 year old, it is like corn silk. Anyway today it gets taken care of.
I am almost through with my yearly doctor visits just a mammogram and bone density( every 5 years) test. Everything is good so far.
In a week or 10 days I am headed to Arkansas and will be there for awhile. Susan if you lurk get me your work info. I will be needing a good nail technician.
My food is getting back to normal after all the travelling.
I am in a good place.... my health is good...my food choices are good.....and I am mobile. Now if the weather would cooperate I would appreciate it.
85 on Halloween ????? I mean....REALLY??????

Good luck with your scopes. Hope they determine what's wrong and there can be a simple fix.
