The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

mine Posted by Beverly on 12/3/2025, 12:25 pm, in reply to "WIW..... " I am up .4 ounces. Not worried about that. This year has been crazy with food. When I hurt my hip, I was eating too much as usual. Murray first started to not feel well in August. I was taking good care of him... running around. He went into hospital the first time.... my eating was not good. I would binge and then do ok for a few days or so. As things progressed with Murray... my eating became worse and worse. When he was in the acute care section and pulmonary sections and was not taking my medications responsibly. My stomach felt worse and worse. It didn't change right after he died. My stomach, mouth and throat were burning, my bowels weren't happy. It was so bad, I didn't know what to do. It felt like reflux hit by lightning. It is a extreme flare. I stopped dairy about 10 days before Thanksgiving - learning along the way what I could eat or not. Thankfully, it has calmed down a bit. Trying to get protein every day is difficult. I have tried sheeps milk, and soy products. Can't stomach it. Never could stomach vegan protein. But, now I am eating rice, poultry, eggs, fish, oatmeal, apple sauces, bananas. saltines, almond milk, and a few other things. It's helping some. I have my colonoscopy in 2 weeks. It will be interesting what the doctor has to say. I am very nervous about it!! My gastro doctor is retiring at the end of the year. My PA's cancer has returned and she is not coming back, sadly. So, I guess I'll get who I get in the practice. I can request a doctor... but, don't know much about the other doctors or PA's. Maybe some research.

Beverly… Posted by Cindy on 12/3/2025, 9:34 pm, in reply to "mine" It has indeed been a crazy year for you. Be gentle with yourself. I hope you can find some good drs to take the place of your dr and PA that are retiring. My family dr retired this summer and we ended up with a good new dr but it was scary just trying to figure out who to go with.
