Fortunately, I've never been a big red meat eater, so that part wasn't hard to give up. Chocolate and cheese, though...that's been rough. My husband figured out if you drizzle a little vegetable oil on fat free cheese, it melts really well, so we can have pizza after all. It's not quite the same as delivery, but still...desperate times and all. <br /><br />As for how I *feel* -- not much different. I guess there's no real way to know. Ask me in 35 years! In theory, I will still be mobile and healthy. Fingers crossed (I better be, for giving up chocolate, for Pete's sake).Ms. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-29606746286166094192013-04-01T17:48:33.139-04:002013-04-01T17:48:33.139-04:00so...how is the diet working out for you? as much...so...how is the diet working out for you? as much as i've read about how good it supposed to be for us, i just can't do it...im not even going to try! there are some things that i'm just NOT willing to give up. <br /><br />hats off to you, you're stronger then i'll ever be!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050970928405965804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-83288256182192786472013-01-20T09:14:25.720-05:002013-01-20T09:14:25.720-05:00Ha!

Without fail, they've been nice, so naturally I assume it's because there's always something there. Ugh. By now, I'm just hoping it's MS lesions and not something...else. (Which, of course, I usually AM thinking.)<br /><br />I am lucky, indeed, to have someone to go with me.

Picking up the phone and ordering Thai or pizza is no longer an option (unless you get cheese-free pizza, I suppose). I have found I like cooking (who knew?!), so in that sense I'm enjoying it. For the most part, the recipes have been very good. Hopefully, the payoff will be worth the effort.

I still remember the look on the tech's face the first time I'd just done an MRI that actually had showed something. He was just too... kind and concerned. As I was leaving, he wished me luck with just a bit too much emphasis, you know? I knew he'd seen something.<br /><br />At any rate, I hope it was an ok appointment. It's great you have someone supportive to go with you.
