I really want to grow a garden this year!! I am trying to convince James to build us some raised garden beds for our empty back yard, I don't know if he has the time or energy though. Maybe we can start simple with just one raised bed?? I also want to make sure that we can grow organic veggies - not sure how to go about doing that, google is my friend so I will do some research. I would appreciate any advice you all would have to share!
How about a cute garden shed too?? That would be a great addition for the backyard! James is really going to get me if I keep coming up with all of these projects for him. lol. I have so many ideas and so little money. That's ok a girl can dream & all things are possible with God - I just gotta ask!
Well this past few weeks have been really busy for us. I have been trying to get meal plans together, research the foods that we eat, & go grocery shopping. It is not easy trying to get prepared - too many choices. I think about everything we buy for our meals and its hard to get foods that are not processed or full of chemicals. I make the rounds - Kroger has an ok selection of organic foods and it is close by. Central Market is my first choice but it is far to drive over there. Costco has alot of the foods we buy, I try to get over there about twice a month to stock up on organic meats. Just trying not to drive myself or my family crazy with facts about our food supply!
As far as my health goes, I don't have many answers yet after visiting with three specialists - they did rule out lupus and that is great news. My GI Doctor has scheduled the dreaded colonoscopy and upper endoscopy, he wants to get a biopsy to see if I have celiac disease. The rheumatologist is testing for celiac too through a blood test as well as arthritis
- she prescribed a pain medication to help me sleep through the night and control the pain that keeps waking me up. Last night was my first dose and I slept good and some of the pain was gone, maybe it will help. The surgeon for the mass I have in my left breast has ordered another mammogram and will see me later to discuss the results - no worries from me there, I do not have a family history of breast cancer and the last time I went through this it was nothing to worry about. I will keep yall posted on the results.
Jessie was diagnosed this week with autoimmune thyroid disease and will have to take medication for it. We definitely didn't want that kind of news but God has a plan and a purpose for everything! Celiac disease is thought to have a connection to this disease so I am waiting for my results to come back before we have her tested for that too. I am doing lots of research on the two diseases so we can be better prepared for it.
Well friends its been a long day! Keep us in your prayers and thank God for all the blessings that He gives. Kelly
P.S. the weight loss has stopped, I think one of my medicines is messing with me or it could be all the nasty food that we out! At least I am not gaining :)
