Cooking

Hello Loved Ones,
I suppose it is time for me to update so that we can have a few things clear.
I am going to a Dr. in Solon names James Krystosik. He is trained in alternative medicine & Nurtition.

I have had my food allergy test done, and he has also made his own adjustments to my diet. At the present time I am doing fine with cooking my food. I am even taking classes at Mustard Seed learning a lot about this cooking.

So I say this to say, I don't need help cooking. This is something that you can Pray that I learn to do. There are just too many things that I cannot have in my food, so I think I better do the cooking myself.
IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU ALL LOVE ME THE WAY YOU ARE LOVING ME. SO FOR NOW, PRAY THAT I LEARN THIS NEW WAY OF COOKING & EATING.

There has been some wonderful things happen since I've been eating this new way (which is mainly "gluten free". No wheat, yeast, dairy, meat ,, refined sugar, or whites ( except wht. potatoes)
I am OFF THE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINES. MY ARTHRITIS IS GONE, MY HEADACHES ARE GONE.

WE ARE HOPING THAT THE BODY WILL HEAL ITSELF, AND WE KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THAT. OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

lOVING EACH OF YOU WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS,

ORALETTA (ISA. 40:31)

Update on a few doctor's appts.

Hello Everyone,
On Feb. 1, (fri.) Roosevelt & I both went to the same doctor at Cleveland Clinic for a routine BP check up. Roosevelt's BP was good. However, the doctor took me off medication for my BP. "Praise the Lord". Now I have to continue to eat properly & avoid stress. We brought a nice new BP Cuff so that I can monitor our BP a couple times a week.

On Feb. 4th. (Mon) I went to the doctor for my food allergy test results. So now I have to eat specifically for my body. It will take lot's of focusing and reading labels. I'm sure that in time I will learn how to shop & cook properly for my body. Dear Roosevelt is still going along with me on the eating. I give him treats along the way. I am going to some cooking classes at Mustard Seed that will help me with my cooking. MY DOCTOR ALSO ADDED HIS OWN RESTRICTIONS TO MY DIET.

Today, Feb. 7, (thurs.) I went to see my oncologist Radiologist. He seemed to be pleased. The exam showed things looking good. Now we will pay close attention to my symptoms and if there is a problem, then we will address it. I will see him again in June.

I will be going to get some IV treatment for strengthening my bones, monthly. It has to be scheduled.

So for the most part things are going well. I feel good, have sufficient energy, take those "PRECIOUS NAPS" as needed.

Oh yes! one more thing, I will take my last steriod on Sat. Then we will watch and see what happens.

I love each and everyone of you, Roosevelt & I thank you so much for you prayers, your encouragement. The most wonderful cards I've every seen . We just don't know how to thank you enough.
