Morning...
Lots going on for many here. Hugs to all.
My cyst turned out to be normal and about the size of an olive.Dr thinks it’s been there for a while and says it is absolutely nothing to worry about. Did a blood test to check for cancer just to easy his mind. Says he expects the test will come back 99.9% normal. Told me he did the same for his wife. This dr was a really nice guy. Don’t think I’ve ever been to a kinder one in my life.
He does think my pain has something to do with my bowels and suggested I contact my GI dr. Told me that people Our age, himself included, often have problems with their intestines which is usually do to diet. He said he suspects I may be experiencing diverticulitis.
I researched that when I got home and have changed what I am eating... specifically seeds in my salads. Broccoli and shedded cabbage, I eat usually twice a day in my salads. Sure enough my pain has faded. Will still make an appointment with my GI guy. Also read I need to return to exercising. Been an interesting experience.
Haven’t been doing much and now it’s too hot to spend much time outside. Am trying to spend as much time in the early mornings as I can. I talked to four drs over this past week and all believe no masks should be worn while outside. And that depending on the type of mask you wear the CO2 you breath into your mask and then breath back in when you inhale is not good for you over time.
Two of my drs have children between the ages of 6-10 and have allowed them to play with one friend at a time several times a week as long as they are outside... and they bare allowing their kids to swim in pools saying the chemicals and sun won’t allow the virus to survive. I’ve been reading this as well in several other places.
As far as school is concerned there is absolutely no way the CDC guide lines can be followed for schools. I had a good laugh when I read them. These people obviously have never spent much time in a school during their adult lives. I just shake my head and think... who are these people
When the Polio viruse/epidemic hit in the early 50’s, some of you are old enough to remember this, many people Died. However the country did not close down nor did the schools. Took several years to develop a vaccine and I remember having to eat sugar cubes which contained the vaccine.
My OB/gyn and my three drs said they haven’t seen anyone with the virus. I want to be tested for antibodies since I was so sIck in Jan. The health dept here says they are finding people had a mild form of the virus as early as early Dec. if you remember I was sick for almost three weeks and said I hadn’t been that sick in a very, very long time.
Off to water my flowers...
