Oh heavens no! Not Camel Poops! It's much too drab there.

We live in the Slocan Valley about 45 minutes drive from Nelson ... or Castlegar, depends which way you turn at the junction.

I hear a Hyesterectomy isn't quite as envasive as it used to be. I had one years ago. I hope the recovery is shorter now!

Would you believe my mom had a total in 1946 .... could you imagine the surgery then! She almost didn't recover. :(

Yes, hysterectomies now they do through the navel not like mine 2o years ago. Ah Nelson, home of the Freedomite Dukabours...they should have taught you how to get your clothes off and dance naked. Yes, I would not wish to live in Camel Poops, it is always depressing there unlike othe places in BC.

Psst, I think Thor drank all of my champagne that drunken sot of a cat.

Probably, like most other things, they've streamlined the whole procedure. I will come home after only 2 days--but the total recouperation is still about 6 weeks.

Wow--1946, I imagine it was much more dangerous then.

Yes, the old sect of doukabours have pretty much died out now. The younger ones just get into mischief out of bordom and then blame the religion.

When we moved here 30 years ago though there were signs in all the school staff room about what to do in case of a bombing. That was scary with our kids going there.

But it is a very beautiful place of lakes and rivers and golf courses :lol:

Oh ... does that mean that I have to give Sheba some wine to catch up with the drunken cat? How about cat nip, did your cats get some for Christmas?

Yup, 1946 surgery was pretty primitive. Mom had scars across her whole belly. I was born at home and the drunken old doctor didn't clean her out properly, so she got gangarine in the womb. That must have been terrible. Imagine, three kids and all that at the age of 20! Wow.

Anyway, we must go on to something much more festive.

Six weeks is normal recovery on a hysterectomy but the operation isn't as severe.

When I was a kid all the Dukabours used to take off their clothes and burn their houses because they said god told them to do that. He never told them to do it in the winter though.

Save me, save me..........I won't make it. I think that I'm going to bail.

What better a night to talk to some great buds with jammies on. Toast the new year and send wishes for good health, fortune and happiness to all of you. Kisses to you on the midnight hour. :)

A wonderfu new year to all of you.

Either one is plausible ;)

Happy Happy New Years to some of my favorite Celiac ladies!

Yes, the last fire they set was about 3 years ago, but it was a government building here in the valley that Selkirk college uses, or used, they distroyed it.

Their homes were common, and like you said, always when it was warm enough to rebuild. :lol: But all government property was fair game as well.

And when that happened you had a court room full of naked people ... mostly women. Strange, I would have thought women had more sense. :rolleyes:

Yes, working tomorrow is a bummer.

We are going out to the local restaurant for dinner. A friend owns it and does a nice safe dinner for me.

Dinner out sounds nice! I'm still leary of eating out. That's actually one of my resolutions--to get out more and back into life a bit.

Wow, for triple pay, i would work too! Good for you .... Hope it's not a hard day though

We go out a fair amount. There is a Chinese restaurant in Nelson that makes gluten free Chinese food, including chow mein, sweet and sour pork, chicken balls, fried rice etc. And quite a few of their soups are gluten free, and best of all gluten free fish and chips that are better than the normal ones!

M-m-m, that gluten-free Chinese food sounds wonderful! I could go for some right now, actually! :P

Me too, but they don't deliver this far out :(:lol:

Anyway, we will go into Nelson sometime in the next week or two and then I will have some :rolleyes:

I haven't been off the property since the 18th ... it's time to go out and do something.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
