Hi a,

I am so sorry for not getting right back to you. I had a virus and wasn't

feeling too well for a couple of days. How are you feeling? Did you get

your new key board? I am being causious about this massage therapy thing.

I remember when you told about your experince on a cruise. Hope you are

feeling better, I know lately you haven't be too well.

Lynn

Lynn,

I hope you're feeling better. No I haven't gotten another keyboard yet. It's

to nasty

to go out. It's supposed to get nicer by Thursday, so hopefully I'll feel like

going out.

I don't blame you for being careful about the massage therapy. Healthy people

can

pick one out of a hat, but for us it's not quite so easy.

I'm feeling better thanks. Looking for an answer to your eating problem,

I've been reading about nutrition. It amazes me how many diseases are caused by

poor nutrition. Eating small frequent meals is probably much better for you.

I've been trying to get more greens in my diet, and found that kale is

considered a super

food, with twice the nutrients as broccoli. Kale is much to course to eat in a

salad, although

I am forcing myself to eat a little raw every day. I found a kale soup recipe

that is packed

with nutrients and I've been eating it every day for lunch. It's easy to

prepare:

Chop a med onion and 4-5 cloves of garlic and fry it in olive oil until the

onion is translucent.

Add 4 chopped potatoes and 3 cups of chopped kale. Make sure you only use the

leaves of

the kale and not the stems. Cook this for about an hour or more until the

potatoes are

soft, and then put it all in a food processor or blender and puree it. Add

salt and pepper to

taste. That is the basic recipe. I've been eating it every day for lunch and

whenever I'm

hungry. I'm also adding other ingredients to experiment. I added oregano and

it was good.

I may add mushrooms, celery or carrots next time.

If you don't like green soup, this may not be your cup of tea. I like split

pea soup, so green

soup doesn't bother me.

Hope you're feeling better

a

Hi PAULA,

Your soup sounds good. I may try it. I made Italian wedding soup and

that was good. I have been trying to eat a lot of veggies and fruit. If I

could get past feeling nauseous I would feel better. Laurie got me

information on the Whipple but it didn't contain anything about after the

whipple. No one seems to know anything about afterwards. I eat a lot of

fish thank goodness I like it.

I was hoping it would warm up a little so I could go for a walk. They

keep saying it is going to be nice but I think it is cold and nasty out.

and you have both sent me some good links recently. I am being very

cautious about this massage therapy thing. When I read the post from here

I see a lot of people have gone into more pain. I don't know what I want

to do at this point. I'm just going to look into it and than decide.

Hope you feel well enough to go out and get the new keyboard. Don't rush

yourself though, shopping is very difficult on us. I find shopping the #1

cause for addition fatigue. Laurie will be 21 tomorrow and I don't have

her presents yet. I am having a dinner for her on Saturday so I have to

get shopping I just hate to go.

You have a good day my friend. If you would like to try the Italian

Wedding Soup I can give you the recipe it is easy. Hope today is painfree.

Lynn
