Life outside Ambridge
The final squash haul. Hopefully none of the toxic squash syndrome Azra mentioned!

ReplyDeleteIt's interesting about side effects of meds. I'm suffering from such at the moment, but this is not the actual drug but the make. As we all know pharmacies buy in the cheapest so every time I get a new supply, they are different brands.
I know that one brand of one med (beta blocker for blood pressure) always causes me problems.
Unfortunately when I picked up my last supply I didn't realise I had this one, until I started it and popped the 1st tablet out. I get 3 months supply so am now stuck with them.
I've already put an empty packet of the bad one in my handbag, so I can check before I leave the pharmacy next time and refuse them.

Mmmmmm.
When I was first diagnosed with an under active thyroid sixty years ago, the medication I was put onto was derived from pigs.
It suited me well for a number of years, but when the pigs bladder - or whatever part of the pig it was from - was superseded by a manufactured drug, I had endless problems and continued to do so for the next thirty years.

I'm now halving this tablet on alternative days, and so far it's OK as I'm now check my BP daily.

ReplyDeleteToday has been memorable.
I have finally finished digging over, adding my home made compost, and putting in the very first plant in a small flower bed.
My energy levels are still very diminished after such a long recovery period, ( and I’m nowhere near full recovery yet) so I am able to do very small amounts of gardening at each session. I also have to rest for a short time after any period of exertion including taking Lady for a short walk, as well as still needing to elevate my leg several times a day.
I’ve said goodbye to my lovely young physiotherapist this week too.
Then today I got a letter from Age UK Somerset telling me that as I haven’t been to Strength and Balance classes for months, they have taken me off the class list. Just as I’m ready to return and can get there in a short drive.
I wrote a long email in reply and then it wouldn’t send, so I will have to ring them on Monday.

I send my thoughts and good wishes for a speedy recovery to all of you who are having health problems,
Yesterday my elder daughter spent the afternoon chopping apples and pears for jam while I nearly burned out the motor of our juicer extracting the juice from the numerous but very small apples that our trees have produced this year
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty colourful harvest KP. I have a few late ones growing at last but mainly green.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of fallers here that need something doing with before they go bad, and I shall probably start pureeing and freezing them today. I have been experimenting with using stevia as a sweetener recently. Only a tiny amount needs to be used compared to sugar and apparently it is actually good for tooth enamel. It does have a hint of bitterness among its intense sweetness though. Up until very recently Morrisons has been selling a Tate and Lyle demerara sugar with added stevia so you only need to use half the usual amount of sugar.
