Quick Health Update: Overall I have been feeling pretty good and my enlarged spleen has not caused any pain in several weeks. With it pressing up against my stomach it continues to be the case that after drinking or eating very little I get full fairly quickly. Not sure if I mentioned this or not but I’m down to 196 pounds. This is the lightest I’ve been since….well, a long time.
New MRI appointment is April 25th in Lewiston, Maine. This facility has what is referred to as an Open Bore MRI which not only has a very large opening but is also shorter so your head sticks out. This should work. I’m on a call list in case they have a cancellation so I can get in there sooner.

The relentless campaign against Donald Trump continues. The very same things being done in this country against a political candidate are the same we have accused other countries of doing against the will of the people and against freedom. I continue to a very large extent, to believe participation in the political system is a waste of time as both sides are corrupt to the core. Will I vote in the Presidential election? Yes. Will it make a difference in who they appoint to sit in the White House? Not likely.

This past Saturday we received what is likely our last snowstorm along with about a foot of snow. We snow-blowed the driveway a couple times and kept the woodstove going. A really nice finish to what has been a fairly uneventful winter season.

I’ve owned the Steyr M9-A2 for a couple years and am well past due to perform a review. I will say in a world full of “combat pistols” that seem to change from year to year only slightly from a design perspective the Steyr is a true unicorn. The ergonomics and sights are two things that really set it apart from most other offerings on the market.
Love shooting this pistol. More to come……

Stay safe all and please…..keep preparing.

Has anyone suggested a gastroparesis diet for now? It’s a bit complicated when you have an active lifestyle, but it involves eating 5 or 6 very small meals each day. You can still eat pretty much anything, but you want it all to be thoroughly cooked and as soft as possible.
No big salads, minimal whole grains. Pot roast or slow-cooked ham rather than medium-rare steak. Burgers or meatloaf are okay. Maybe rye or sourdough bread instead of white. Cooked green peppers should be fine; raw would not. Avoid corn. The softer foods in small quantities are easier to digest and will help ease the pressure and feeling of bloating.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they can see you soon.
Hi SingleMom. I have not heard of that. Will look into it. Thanks for sharing! Great info and it makes sense.
John, very happy to hear that you are feeling a little better. Makes you wonder if this isn’t another Biden action to to crush our economy
