Great News!

Hi All,
I saw Gens yesterday and I have a badly torn muscle.  Isn't that wonderful?  I'm absolutely thrilled becasue I was conviced I had done a serious injury to my right side during my recent face-first fall in the yard.  I went to that apt with sheer stark terror in my belly but Gens finds no hernia or anything needing ....intervention.  Oh, it hurts something fierce and at times I can hardly move.  But those are spasms.  I can take muscle relaxants but otherwise I just need time for it to heal.  Music to my ears.  I am so happy.

Things on the food front are improving though very slowly.  I tried soy powder in water yesterday but it was simply too disgusting to drink.  I'm going to try a chocolate whey powder in water today.  Vitalady says to mix the powders with water or crystal light or flat soda.  Hmmm...  Complicated.  I have some Nectars, vanilla and the chocolate ( all whey) and the soy.  I guess I just have to keep experimenting.  Nervous-making because as I sip anything I have a chant going on in my head, "Must not dump, must not wretch!"  Doesn't really enhance the culinary experience.  LOL.  But I had soem chicken salad with light mayo yesterday and it went down just fine.  So that's good news.  Treading

That is wonderful news.  I am so happy that you are finally doing better.  It is all uphill from here.

Treading, it's so good to hear things are improving for you. You are on your way!!

I'm glad things are better. I pulled a muscle in my abdomen during my recovery as well, and was convinced I had a hernia.  It was awful!  Once it starts to heal, though, it heals quickly.  Just be careful. 

I take my morning decalf coffee and mix my chocolate protien poweder into it (not when it is too hot or it clumps) ----it is pretty darn yummy.

Hi Treading,
So glad to hear that things are finally starting to look up for you.  I hope you have an easier time of it from here on out.  Good Luck   Jaimbry
