The procedure wasn't too horrid. The results told them where to look during the broncoscopy. Turns out I have a cancer in my right lung.

Not fun, I presume you'e setting up a date to get it taken out? I've
had several CTs of my chest/lungs in the last couple of years--no
cancer but some "ground glass nodules" that they need to keep an eye
on.

My first consult with the oncologist is next week. The cancer is of
the squamous cell type and therefore, not aggressive. Today Im seeing
a new doctor that my pulmonologist set up. And I'm confused. My
problems are lungs, kidneys and heart. The new deal is a rheumatlogist
and I just don't see, on the surface, how that fits my profile.

There's undoubtedly something they want checked out. Don't know what a rheumatologist woud have to say but they figure there is something he needs to look at.

So, she had me give a urine sample and now 'm on a course of antibotcs
for a kidney infecton. And have a follow=up in two weeks.

That doesn't sound good; did you just pass out?

Yup. Just keeled over. I don't remember much of it but I scared my
brother when he couldn't find a pulse. Turns out it was caused by too
high level of potassium in my blood.

Gee, that would balance out the times I had too little potassium.
Average out the two and we'd both be OK. (G)

It's odd. Back in the day when I told huge doses of duretcsmy kdneys out-processed potassum to the pont suffered muscle cramps. So began
taking a potassium supplement stll have several jars of 99mg tablets
n my stockple - looking for a new home.

It's like a tight rope act. Got to stay balanced.

Very much so!

So, there I was in a place known to have good hospital food - and I
was not able to eat much of it since I was on a both a renal and
cardiac restriction.

Fortunately they did let me have this ....

Title: Cod Almondine

Good thing they let you have something that tastes good. We're in the heart of Ohio Amish country--last night went out to dinner (buffet) at
an Amish restaurant and tonight had a catered by (I think) Mennonites
so have been eating well. Moving on in a couple of days so enjoying it while we can.

We have a thriving Amish area not far from me. Have to be careful
driving in that area lest you run over a buggy clip clopping along the road.

We're out of that area now but still in the state. Had supper at a
Steak N Shake tonight--we both enjoyed it, could go back but not too
often as it's very filling. We'd had a very light lunch, me a light breakfast, but supper made up for both of them. (G)

've pretty much qut Steak & Shake since they went to the "quick-serve" format and got rid of table servce. I told Jim Stuller (they're the S&S franchisee for this area), if he goes back to "dancing with who brought him" to the party I'd go back to eating in his restaurants.

Title: Steak & Shake 5 Way Chilli
Categories: Beef, Chilies, Beans, Herbs, Cheese
Yield: 8 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------CHILLI--------------------------------
2 lb Coarse ground chuck (80/20)
1 1/2 c Onion; diced
1 ts Celery salt
32 oz Tomato sauce
1 c Water
28 oz Pinto or Chilli beans
2 ts Garlic powder
1 1/2 ts Garlic salt
2 tb + 1 ts chilli spice mix
1/2 ts (ea) salt & pepper
16 oz Tomato paste

MMMMM-----------------------5-WAY ADD ONS----------------------------
1 lb (dry weight) spaghetti
1 md Onion; diced
12 oz Co-Jack (Monterey Jack &
- Colby cheese blend)
2 tb Heinz Chili Sauce

Please note the onions that are cooked in the chilli are
optional. You can leave them out. I personally love
onions when cooked in the chilli. Steak N Shake does not
add onions to cooked chilli. Chopped onions are served on
top of the chilli.

In a skillet on medium-low heat saute ground beef and
onions. When the beef has been cooked, drain all grease
and place in a medium-large saucepan. Add celery salt,
tomato sauce, beans, garlic powder, garlic salt, chilli
spice, pepper, water, and salt, mix all ingredients.

On low heat place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for
one hour, stirring frequently. After the chilli has been
cooking for an hour add tomato paste and stir well.
Place lid on the pan and simmer an additional half-hour.
Prepare spaghetti as directed and drain.

TO ASSEMBLE: For individual serving: In a shallow bowl
or plate place: Generous helpings of spaghetti 3/4 cup
chilli 2 tablespoon Chili Sauce, Chopped Onions (to taste)
1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack and Colby Cheese Mix Top
with additional onions to your taste.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger
Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
Yield: 1 servings

1 Soft hamburger roll;
- buttered, toasted
4 oz (110 g) fresh ground chuck,
- in two 2-oz (55 g) balls
Salt & fresh ground pepper
1 sl Good melting cheese;
- American, cheddar, or
- homemade

MMMMM-------------------CONDIMENTS & TOPPINGS------------------------
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Shredded lettuce
Sliced onion
Tomatoes
Pickles

Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of
bun. Have it nearby and ready for when your burger is
cooked.

Preheat a large stainless steel sauté pan or skillet
over high heat for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan
and smash down with a stiff metal spatula, using a
second spatula to add pressure. Smashed patties should
be slightly wider than burger bun.

Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook
until patties are well browned and tops are beginning to
turn pale pink/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a
bench scraper or the back side of a stiff metal spatula,
carefully scrape patties from pan, making sure to get
all of the browned bits.

Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese
over 1 patty, then stack the second directly on top.
Immediately remove from pan and transfer to waiting
burger bun. Serve.

That's a nice option. Unfortunately, the VA is very...uh, picky about diets and such.

So is my hospital. Apparently everything available from the kitchens is in
a database W.R.T. sodium, potassium, carbs, etc. and each patient has his dietary restrictions in the database. Their software keeps track of what's allowable and what's not. It can be flustrating trying to order and being

Hi Dave,

Make sure you get enough of the good (pro) biothics too. Last time my pulmonology dr. put me on antibiotics, he said to take probiotics also,
to keep good bacteria in my system.

Fortunately the new (t me)n dope hasn't triggered any adverse
reaction(s)

So far, so good. Hopefully nothing has developed in the time I was "off
air". Stopped travelling for a few days, now in AZ. Hoping for a good
Mexican meal while we're here.

'bout the only on-purpose probiotic I do active culture yoghurt. The Clementies don't count - even thoughthey are rich in vitamin C. I eat
them becdause they are tasty and easy to peel. Bv)=

I do the yogurt thing too, just about every day. But for C, it's most
often 1,000mg twice a day.

We enjoyed it but won't indulge very often. We're now almost to St.
Louis, on our way to AZ.

Did you remember to wave as you passed by Springfield? And I know it's
too late to make any difference - but it's usually quicker to go right through St Louis rather than take I-270 or I-255 around to get to
I-44.

We did the bypass, and no, I didn'y wave as weather wasn't great going
thru IL and I was helping spot traffic, etc.

Although I dunno how the recent spate of tornadoes has affected
traffic in and around.

Couldn't tell you but I sure kept my eyes open Thurday. Encountered a
lot of rain and at one point, hail. Never did see how big it was but
they sure thumped hard on the truck.

I'd call it "marble-sized" although I dunno what the NWS deemed it. I
hadn't seen hail around here in more than 20 years - and thar was no
bigger than a pencil eraser.

hood and trunk of a vehicle.

liked it better so the Escape was sold.

Be happy you don't need oxygen constantly. The medical supply picked up

Don't recall meeting your Escape. I do remember the Nissan. I'd like
to find one similar for my own use. But the price of cars and pickups
as gotten obscene. I located one very similar to a unit I had priced as
a "new" purchase. This on had 87K miles on it and was priced ar just
$29,000 - which blew me away. The new unit I had priced was only $21,000 delicered inclusive of taxes, tile license and insurance. Go figure.

Not fun. One of our vet friends was on just the portable when he was out
tanks when we first moved to WF. Now he's on the big cylinders, going
thru several a day and dragging one whenever he goes out. Had to give up
some of his charity photography work because he couldn't shoot pictures
and juggle the cylinder at the same time.

We had the 2009 Escape from 2009 to 2015 but it didn't have the towing
"oomph" needed for the R-Pod so traded it for the 2016 model in late
2015. That's the one that had the wrong encounter with the ice, wind,
etc in Wyoming, in December, 2016. We came home from that trip in the

Cheaper to buy the new. We needed something with more tow power when we
bought the new camper in 2023 so traded the Frontier in on a 2018 F-150
and have been happy with it. Had to kick it into 4 wheel drive the other
day going over a mountain pass (on a dirt road) near Monument Valley the
other day.

Easy do, just make sure you label it as livers. Our girls are not fond
of it and have never fixed it for their families but older daughter
bought some chicken/duck pate the other day for a light buffet meal.
Turned out her family didn't care for it but she liked it. My favorite
way to fix liver was with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in an
Italian seasoned tomato sauce, served over rice sprinkled with parmesan
cheese.
