I sure wish I could read each and every post and really respond. I have just been soooo busy and off and on struggling minorly with my health. School has been extremely stressful so far due to many changes and new expectations. Of course there was open house, parent conferences, harvesting the garden, canning, and this weekend canning fresh tuna - 7 dozen. We had 3 canners going in the garage. Yummmmm..
Overall health wise, I am doing okay. But I have started losing blood again and it makes me really tired. They put me on 2 strong antibiotics for a bladder infection and pouchtitis (I do not have a colin- a pouch made from my lower intestine). Well the bleeding became much worse, but they just felt it was the ulcers in my pouch again. So we watch the blood work to see if I need a blood transfusion and keep on the iron pills. Then I broke out in hives once the antibiotics stopped. They even effected my face at one point. But I do feel better now, but again yesterday afternoon, I just felt like dropping to the couch and sleeping and then of course I lost more blood.
So again I am really sorry I do not post very much. Sometimes I just check in quickly. Thank you for your help with Faile and my other birds. They are all doing well. My house is a reck, but at least they are playing and their cages are overall staying clean. A college friend just moved here from Idaho and she has been helping with the dishes and I cook.
Oh, I am still Gluten free since Sept. 1st, but after taking a food allergy test (blood work) gluten didn't show up and wheat again was very minor. It said I was really allergic to cow's milk. I really haven't felt like the gluten free diet has made me feel any better. So I really need to get off milk products. I got off the milk, but am really struggling with the cheese since I love it and it helps my blood sugar in a pinch.
Well, thanks for listening. Sorry it so long, but I wanted to explain why I am not around very often.
