I had an appointment with my doctor this morning. Found out that
the x-ray of my elbow showed nothing wrong with the bone... so he
did a couple more things to test and said that I have "tennis elbow"
and wearing my wrist splint will help the elbow by keeping the wrist
still and not moving the muscles and tendons up to and in the elbow
area. I had noticed that over the last few months, that whenever I
wore my wrist splint for the day in the evening my elbow wasn't
hurting *quite* as much as it would on days I didn't wear my wrist
splint. So that mystery is solved. ;o)
My blood work showed that my sugar is normal, thank goodness (my
oldest sister has diabetes, and I didn't want it on top of
everything else I have). However my cholesterol is a bit high. He
told me he could give me pills to help it. I asked how I could get
it under control without pills and he said I would have to not eat
any fat, exercise more, and lose weight. Yeah... like I haven't
tried to lose weight for years without any success.... but, I guess
if I don't want to have to take more pills, I am going to have to
work much harder at it and see if I can get it under control
myself. But.... there are so many foods that I like that have fat
in them. :o/ *sigh* So with the Diverticular Disease needing more
fiber, and now with the high cholesterol needing no fat... I am
going to have to *try* to eat a high fiber - no/low fat diet.
Jeesh, I can't have ANY fun! LOL
Well, I'm off now. I promised Matthew that I would make my Dad's
recipe for sukyaki sometime this week and haven't gotten around to
doing it yet. I have all the stuff needed, just need to muster up
some ambition to do it. ;o)
I'm not sure when I'll be on again... sometime within the next week
I would hope. So, take care and keep smiling! :o)
*hugs*

My husband and I are trying a low glycemic index diet, which has high
fiber, low sugar and starches, and a moderate amount of fat, mostly
olive oil. We're both losing weight slowly. I've lost a bit over 10
pounds by now and am halfway to my goal. My husband has
diverticulosis, so he has to eat a lot of fiber. I chose this diet for
weight loss because I knew it would suit him as well.
It's similar to the South Beach diet, but has more fiber. We eat
entirely whole wheat bread, no sweets except those with a small amount
of fructose instead of sugar, nothing with white flour, no white rice,
and no potatoes except for red potatoes boiled in their skins. We eat
some kind of beans or chickpeas or barley three or four times a week.
You don't have to join any expensive plan to do the South Beach diet.
You can just buy a book and follow the directions. If you add even
more beans and whole wheat products, it would be pretty much our diet.
(Ours is from a book that's not available in English.) Plus my
husband begins the day with a bowl of All Bran to get even more fibre.
