Hope you are OK & you are just visiting someone in the horse-pistol Casey. :fingerscrossed:

 

A few years ago, I helped a friend build his house, it was only a mile or so from a hospital. The food in the hospital cafeteria was cheap and plentiful, we ate lunch there every day for a few months until the house was completed. So, you don't have to be sick to eat hospital food.

 

Fish.

 

I'm home now. As soon as a I get caught up on work, I'll o a general post.

Other than the fifteen pounds I gained in fluids from all the IVs. I've got serious cankles and my knees are not happy about bending. I lay down with my feet elevated when it gets bad, and within about 20 minutes, I can walk like a human.

Now, for the story. I have esophageal varices, which are like varicose veins, only they are internal. They can, and do sometimes rupture, and bleed into the stomach. There is no cure, just treatment. That means dietary changes, and about 8 kinds of medicines.

Oh, and absolutely NO alcohol. :incazzato:

Even if I do everything I'm supposed to do, there is about a 20-percent chance it will happen again, someday.

The dietary changes are really not that bad. More fresh fruits and veggies, and less red meat and fat, and go easy on the salt and acidic foods.

Get well Casey.

 

Hang in there CD. Gettin' old ain't for pussies is it? Diet shouldn't be a problem. I mean, it's not like y'all eat a lot of red meat in Texas, right? :devil: :nonod:

 

An Poe themed pub at the beach - great grub.

Have has some beef short ribs in the immersion bath for coming up on 48hours at 144 degrees. Gonna do them with a ginger, Dr.pepper glaze, fried rice and still undecided on veg, we'll see what looks best at the market.

 

Hope you feel better.. does not sound like fun (especially no beer... what do you drink now when working on the MINI??)

 

CD, hoping all this settles and as for the diet, you get to try new things and tastes. No red meat does that equal lean read meat since the fatty stuff is an issue?

Get better, get well and since I do not drink beer, you will live.

Korean BBQ fresh off the grill, cucumber kimchee, and rice. By the time I thought of taking a picture it was gone.

 

I ate there once. I had the braised raven. Nevermore.

Now that's funny !!

 

Late Father's Day lunch courtesy of my Grandson. 35oz Tomahawk Ribeye cooked to perfection. It flinched when I picked up my knife. :drool Loaded mashed taters on the side.

 

I spent two days shooting cars with some Monkeys. I sweated out a lot of that excess fluid. BP is very good.

I can eat red meat, just less of it -- smaller portions. More fruits and veggies, which is great right now while the fresh stuff is plentiful.

I can also have the occasional NA beer (averages about 0.25-percent). If you get it REALLY cold, it's okay.
