thanks Bizi
the classes are over for the summer. they helped. I will take them in the fall again. I should read some biblical stuff but I can't right now. I did dream last night of some..funny coincidence.

Talking in person to a Rabbi vs. a therapist may help, but I think I remember you said you felt awkward about that for some reason?

Unfortunately, patients have to request some preventative screenings now, unless they are really high risk, but patients don't have enough information about what they should be asking for and when. I think it's due to insurance changes... Maybe AARP can help?

You have been less active since your stroke, so it's only natural that your weight has gone up. I gained 10 pounds pretty quickly when I became handicapped. Right now I'm about 16 pounds heavier than then, and at one point, was 28 pounds heavier. Neither of us can sweat off the pounds anymore.

I'm not sure what soups Donna is talking about, but Progresso soups are very good and filling. You may also want to try switching to desserts that are made with sugar alternatives. Some that are available are very good. I know it's not the same, but most people get used to the taste pretty quickly

Bizi is right... it sounds like you are blaming yourself for a lot of things that are/were out of your control. I hope that you can let some of those things go and be gentler on yourself

Lots of love,
Kay

I buy the Campbells Chicken Dumpling soup. It has peas, green beans and
carrots for sure in it. It could have some other vegetables. But these
three are ones I've gotten used to eating.

I have had the progresso soups too. But like this one better. Need to try
some of the other ones but haven't tried them yet.

will have to look for it. wonder if walmart sells it online. thanks. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Campbell-...-8-oz/10321395 is this it?

That's probably it.



I usually use a different brand --- for no reason but I am used to Progresso soups.

Yes, that is the one. I just really like it. I get it for $2.00 at Dollar General
so you found a good buy.

Our grocery out here doesn't carry it.
