    • Interests

      Taking care of my doggies and of course, my hubby. My Heavenly Father comes first, then my family and then my country. Isn't that the way it suppose to be? My interest is all kinds of things, from morning to night. I do the best I can do with most anything. I enjoy singing, reading the scriptures, going to church, visting friends and family, crafts, and cooking/baking. Having people over for dinner maybe once a month :)

      From SadTime August 27

      Hi Carol. Here is some chocolate that we get to eat and not gain weight. Wow, this is so 'sweet'. How are you? I've been stuck inside for a few days but hope to be well enough tomorrow to ride my scooter out in the gardens to get a bit of needed watering done. God has been so good to me and the blessings are just the best. (((hugs))) Patricia

    • Close Colon Cancer

      I worked for colon and rectal surgeons and believe me I have seen people die from this deadly disease. I have also seen people beat it and get well. Please be sure you get the Colonoscopy as soon as you can - no matter what age, espec. if you have a family history.

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
    • Close Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer)

      I had Renal Cell and have had the right kidney removed on Dec. 7, 2006. It was contained and had not gone into the stem. The surgeons says I am good for 20 more years. I do not have to have any treatments. I do not know what caused it but I am so happy that they caught it in time.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      I have been in chronic pain with my neck and shoulder blades since 1979 from a car accident and no one has tried to give me any kind of medication or surgery or whatever and have to live with this and work. Someone wrote about some type of juice I could take and it worked for them but now I can't locate that person in this community. If she sees this, please reply. Thanks. The only thing that has given me some relief is the Chiropractor, but it doesn't last.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

      I was diagnosed with DVT Nov. 2002. I received the two medicines prescribed as indicated here. The doctors asked me if I traveled on planes etc. and I had not. They did not know what caused it. The way I found out, was my ankles kept swelling and then when I got an ultrasound, that is when the doctors found it. I was monitored every week for up to two years before I came off the medication as they thought by being on the blood thinner for too long, I would probably bleed to death in the event I had a bad cut or was in a car accident or anything like that. Four years later, was diagnosed with Renal Cell Cancer - both of the diagnosis was in November. Got it in time - contained. I wonder if the blood clot lodged in my pelvic and that caused it. I have asked about that, and the doctors say no. What do you think?

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      Took up to two years - worked with not having any more blood clots.
      Lovenox Working / Worked
      Worked - Had one shot every 12 hours for two weeks. Did not have any more blood clots.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Has anyone used Jenny? I need to lose about 40 lb. I wish I could get simple menus to follow. Most if the diet plans I see have food that I usually don't have in my pantry. Does someone had a good diet plan that is simple?

      Treatments

      3 Hour Diet Considering
      I bought the Hilton Head Metabilism Diet and just for a used copy, cost me $31.95 with shipping. A new one runs about $149 or some $189. Has anyone ever used it?
