They Gave Me This In Chemo…

@4meAndyou It was likely some charity group. They also have two volunteers that roll out a big cart of food around lunchtime, I believe the hospital provides it, sandwiches, chips, pudding, ice cream, drinks.

@cherokeepatti That sounds wonderful! Of course, you bring all of your own healthy food...so I doubt you eat their offerings.

@4meAndyou No but they let the ones who are sitting with the patients have what they want too. So Ray gets his lunch when we are there around noon. If they have fruit I might get a banana or whatever it is.

@cherokeepatti I'm quite certain that YOUR health will be much better than that of anyone who eats the charity offerings.

@4meAndyou oh there are people that will take everything and eat it there. I brought a Chobani cherry yogurt sweetened with stevia only and had a beef stick. And drank chamomile-honey tea and drank a bottle of water with a cherry packet (stevia in it). Wasn’t even hungry an hour and a half later when the lady came with the food. I came home and ate hummus with some celery sticks and a sweet red pepper sliced up. And Eli brought me some leftover chicken to eat (not fried just chicken). Had half avocado and a handful of walnuts before I went to bed. My blood sugar was only 127 this morning. I am hungry, want to eat a persimmon and a salad.

@cherokeepatti You have overcome an incredible amount with your extremely healthy diet. I KNOW it is the foods you eat which have contributed to your survival.

@4meAndyou If I had the place and money for it I would have a good-sized greenhouse and grow salad stuff and herbs etc with grow lights in the winter.

@cherokeepatti AND no pesticides...and very clean soil...I would LOVE that. I would eat that stuff all day. Even though I buy organic when I can afford it, even the organic label doesn't guarantee that foods are free of all pesticides. Foreign growers approved by the FDA can have their crops labeled as organic, too.

@4meAndyou I know a lady online who lives in Florida. A couple years ago she got one of those stacked grow sets that feeds on water with an organic fertilizer in it. She has it in her Florida room and can grow all sorts of greens in it, a lot since it’s stacked. Would keep me in salads all year round. Told Ray if we ever came into money would love a home built with solar tubes, could get so much natural light with one of those. And a big room full of plants too…some kind of lemons are small enough to have in the house and they usually get loaded with fruit.

@cherokeepatti We can dream, right? A little hydroponic greenhouse would be sooooo awesome!
