LemonFinally getting round to uploading some stuff from my camera. Not too long ago, i went to Chef's with someone who has a baby, who happens to love lemons, and i got this snap.

Restrictions!Right now, until the next time i get blood work and urinalysis done, i am not allowed to eat the following:
salt, salt substitutes, sugar, sugar substitutes, dairy, wheat, anything high in potassium, anything high in cholesterol.
I am allowed to have one egg a week and one banana a week.
I am already a vegetarian, and i wasn't planning on eating meat any time soon. Unless, of course, my dietary restrictions must continue. Then, i may consider adding chicken to my diet, in as minimal amounts as i can.
Meal planning is interesting. Today, i made this stew:
In it there are onions, peppers, celery, a box of Pomi chopped tomatoes (everything else has salt or potassium added!!) a can of low salt black beans and some tempeh.
With that, we had corn on the cob -- with lime juice and chili powder instead of butter and salt.
I miss you, potato chips.....

You're both right: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, celiac disease, high cholesterol. (e:Matthew) didn't get the chance to guess or it would have been 3 for 4.
Medications and a very restrictive diet, then blood tests and urinalysis to find out for sure.
I also have B12 deficiency anemia, but that isn't much of a surprise to me since i have been a vegetarian my entire adulthood.

Yeah, Sorry, I Hate YouI realize, today, how much i hate doctors.
I am sorry, (e:Jenks).
I think doctors are all assholes who really do not actually care about the welfare of patients. It's all about "interesting cases" or how many appointments can i rush through in a day or who gives a shit if a patient waits 2 hours, my time is more valuable. Money is more important than people.
And fuck you if you are upset by a diagnosis. It must be a manifestation of the illness. No time for your tears. No time for compassion. Here's some meds. Take them. And no, i don't have time to explain why. Ask the pharmacy what they are for.
Oh, yeah, here, too, are some more lab orders. Nope, none of your business what they are for. No time to explain. Bye.

There are some doctors like that (no idea the %). I do blame the doctors. But some of it is from the way our system works.
1. It is a for profit system
2. It is a we will fix you once you are sick system
3. Oh prevention what is that
4. Then you have surgeons (some of them) Who are cut Happy, that means that when ever anything is wrong there needs to be cutting, oh 2nd opinion on what you have or other ways to fix, um no not to them
5. Then you have this entire crazy insurance company thing
The Days of a doctor coming to your home and making sure you are Healthy is long gone.
Hope that if it is for you or who ever it is for that you find a doctor who cares, hoping you don't have to go to some place where profit is 2nd.

Dr.Tessa Flores is the best. She works at a practice on Linwood and West Utica and I can't praise her enough. Once, she happened to be going camping with the same group of friends I was. She brought me a bag full of insulin "just in case I partied to much". When she found out I was leaving town she brought me a stack of scripts and insulin samples in case there was a laps in my insurance.
That is just the icing on the cake though. Everytime I have visited the practice they take their time and treat you right.

What Are They Called?!?A while back, (e:Ladycroft) used a term to describe fake vegetarian bacon -- facon, bacon with an f. Since then, i have co-oped that term for all sorts of things. Fake chicken, ficken; fake burger, furger. You get the idea.
Well, we all know about my obsession. My life is so boring, that's pretty much all i post about.
So, today, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i were out shopping. At Marshals someone has fake chucks. Yep, from now on, i will call them fucks.
Thanks, (e:Ladycroft).

Back To Work
I love eating lemons too. Always have. :-)
adorable!
haha, sooo perfect!
uhm, you're welcome, (e:Paul). i still think it's bizzare i found the glitch....
Wow, that was so crazy. There was this bug in my code from a library I wrote in 2004 that is in just about everything I do and removed the word expression from being displayed certain kinds of text. It has to do with css expressions in IE6. I fixed it. That you for finding that.
Too cute!
This is the cutest thing that could possibly end a horrible day. Thanks!
