turkey day has come and gone....Praise the Lord!!
why does common sense seem to fail when confronted with a freshly roasted turkey surrounded by favorite side dishes? why does one assume that a 9" diameter plate is inadequate to hold a sufficient amount of food for the average human being? and will require to be refilled? why, oh why, oh why indeed. that is an enigmatic question that seems to go unanswered and ignored year after year.
i know that i have made a vow, more than once, to not overeat. actually, overeating is not such a sin or a terrible self punishment. but when a person goes way beyond overeating it much akin to treating a stubbed toe with a hammer.
oh thank God it is over. i will not do that again.......at least until next year.
on a separate note, Fibrogen released a statement concerning the drug FG 3019, that i was treated with this past year.
(FibroGen), announced today that interim results from an ongoing open-label Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate FG-3019 as a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) continue to suggest that the investigational drug has the potential to stabilize and improve fibrosis in patients with the disease......“A substantial subset of IPF patients who received FG-3019 in the Phase 2 open label study experienced stabilization or improvement of lung fibrosis, based on computer-assisted high-resolution radiographic scores of lung fibrosis,” noted Frank H. Valone, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of FibroGen. “This observation of IPF fibrosis improvement is without clinical precedent and directly challenges the widely held belief that improvement in fibrosis is not a therapeutic possibility.......
of course, i already believed that about the drug, but now it is a published theory with scientific proof to substantiate those claims and thoughts. needless to say, i can hardly wait to begin treatment....so in spite of my inability to actually repent from stuffing myself with stuffing, it looks like i might be able to complain about it for a while longer....
