Hello Friends,
Last week I had a nasty attack from the pancreas. It's the second one I've had in two years. They are nasty, painful. This one did not turn out to be as bad as the first one, thank God! I knew immediately what it was and started in with a liquid diet (ugh). I went to the doc who verified it, but told me it was not serious.
Today, I am free to start adding some solid, mushy food to my diet, and SLOWLY get back to eating normally. Odd as it may seem, I'm not really hungry anymore which is kind of strange.
The positive thing is that I have dropped some weight. I was about to donate some clothing because they were too tight for me, but now, I'm glad I still have them.
It's become clear to me that I'm going to have to change the way I eat and what I eat. My doctor recommended that I eat small portions several times a day. The 3 meals a day is too much food for my system to handle at one time. He suggested canned fruits with cold cuts, and be careful with vegetables. Nothing difficult to digest.
I've been dreaming of a juicy, cheeseburger, that also sounds way too heavy. Oh well. It's going to be an adjustment, but if I can go 10 days of nothing but liquids... I think I can manage the diet suggestions.
I hope everyone is doing well today.
It has been a few years since I last visited My Boomer Space, and I'm so happy to find that it is still here. I met many friends here, and a couple of them are on my Facebook friends list.
One of my friends was Tony Caminiti or Old 22 as he was known here. I'm so sad to say that he passed away on July 3, 2016. He was a wonderful friend, and could always find a way to make people smile. He always had some kind of joke to tell. He had a sense of humor that never stopped.
He was photographer, and he loved his work. He was also an avid hockey fan, a die hard NY Rangers fan. He was also a football fan, and enjoyed giving me a bad time about the Cowboys.
Four years ago he suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed on his left side. It made it difficult for him to continue photography. Even with all the therapy he lost the use of his left arm, and remained in a wheel chair. Later came the cancer. He fought hard and almost beat it, but it returned even stronger. Again he fought, but it was too much for him, and his body gave out. May he rest in peace. I will miss him.
