- I am type II, in stage 2 of kidney failure. I am also a vegetarian. I need help. My recent blood test came back with very high potassium. The doctor wants me to restrict my dietary potassium and get re-tested in a week. My problem I downloaded...
- I need help. My recent blood test came back with very high potassium. The doctor wants me to restrict my dietary potassium and get re-tested in a week. My problem I downloaded a list of high potassium foods and everything I eat is on it! I...
- Thought maybe I'd find others in my same boat here, but so far no one has piped up. Are all those over 70 un-computerized, like they say we are? I don't think so - so where are y'all?
- Loneliness is hard enough when you are young and healthy, but it is amplified when your body and mind begin to weaken. I worry about not being able to take care of myself and not having anyone to give a hoot about it.I live on my own, just moved...
- I hope to find others who are living with lonliness in their later years. I know I am not the only one. But the older I get the more it feel like I am. I look around and see families and friends socializing - being happy, enjoying each others'...
- On January 12 it will be two years since I lost my dear husband. The holiday season is traumatic for me as it begins with the anniversary the day before Thanksgiving of my step-sister's death. My birthday mid-December and four days later the...
- What can I say. Sold my nearby house to my son and his wife. They are moving from another state. She has been here, but he just arrived for a few days, before they both go back to tie things up there. They took me out for dinner Christmas Eve,...
- Have I done something wrong?A few months ago I had a blood test prior to yearly visit with Endocrinologist. The results show liver out of whack. So she took me off Metformin, Statin, and pain pills. Of course that made my sugar go out of whack. ...
- I'm not sure I actually want to "date." It has been six months since I lost my husband and I am lonely. I am also no "spring chicken" and should probably forget about this. But it would be nice to meet someone local to go out for coffee with,...
- For some reason I'm having a bad spell. I miss my husband sooo much. I've had to wear a boot for weeks now, due to a torn tendon. And this Monday I had cataract surgery. I've had a headache and on and off eye pain all day. Just can't bring...
- Thank you for being here. I know that you, too, are on a sad journey. But you are my rock. I have been on DS for many years, in groups related to my husband's many problems. Then four months ago, when he passed, it was all moot. I thought, is...
- I had a yard sale this past weekend. It was hard work as I have a torn tendon and am wearing a hot and heavy boot that goes all the way to my knee. But I did have some friends/neighbors who helped me set up and stayed through the sale. Now it is...
- I'm just musing here. I think a lot of us are neglecting our own health, not eating right, doing stupid stuff. Why? Is it possible that we are just tired of life - life alone, without our loved one - and secretly hope we can join them sooner if we...
- I took stock the other day and realized how lousy I'm eating now that I have no one to shop or cook for. For the first few weeks I couldn't eat at all. Then, once a little appetite came back, I tried living on fruit and veggie juices. I made a...
- Someone asked if I'd joined a support group and I replied "Only online." They said I should try the local Hospice group. So yesterday I went to a meeting there. It was good, but they made me fill out a lot of paperwork. I asked if it cost and...
