Not Really 'New' - Just Back

[Marilee]

Hi EVERYONE!

I haven't posted since before the ol' pandemic kicked off. My hubby passed on in January 2020 (couldn't recover from anesthesia for a minor test procedure). I have been adjusting and trying to reinvent my day-to-day in isolation. I still have my Protein-Phosphorus Ratio website up, and folks do find it out there, so I reckon it's still worth keeping up (I just won't have anything new to add to it).

I hope everyone has navigated the chaos of the last 18 months OK. I try to imagine just how tiring the pandemic has been for the patients, caregivers and medical folks trying to keep up with dialysis.

Last month, I started electrically grounding myself (aka Earthing) to help with my own energy and recovery from yardwork and then spent time reading up on it, watching the Earthing documentary, etc. I wish, wish, wish I had learned of this years ago because it could/would have been a big boost to my hubby's health. It's so ironic to me that when a person gets sick (bedridden especially), opportunities to get electrically grounded become so scant - yet it's such a vital 'nutrient'. Anyway, I got a couple grounding pads and am surprised and pleased with the results so far. I didn't even realize that my own circulation wasn't great until about 2 weeks in and I noticed my toes had turned a healthy, happy pink and become flexible again. Yea! (such a little thing, but it really made me happy ).

Anyway, I saw several visits had happened on my 'PPR Banana Muffins' recipe page yesterday and it made me think of y'all - I just wanted to say HI! and I hope things are going OK.

Hiya!!!

I am thrilled to "see" you here!

I am so very sorry to hear about your husband's passing. 

I am pleased to know that you are "adjusting" well enough.  What else can you do but "adjust"?

I am interested to hear about "Earthing"; what a fascinating concept!  Good for you!

I'm tickled by the fact that your PPR website is still in place!  It is brilliant and helpful.

I am fine, so far, but am still in "Navigation" mode, probably just like everyone else here on IHD.

I am thankful that you still remember us.

Hello Marilee,

I am very happy to "see" you again and I am very sorry about your husband and can well imagine how difficult it must be to re-adjust ... I also remember the very artistic, inventive and wonderfully harmonic music you create with your special instrument and I send you my hearty greetings from Kristina.

Moosemom!!! Kristina!!! Oh, my gosh, it's wonderful to "see" you both again! It feels like this giant hug 

Moosemom - about Earthing - I decided to post it up in the Medical topics folder: http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=35469.0 so it could be more easily browsed-to.

Kristina - I'm finally getting back to playing music again (it was impossible all through 2020) and it feels so fine! That you remember it warms my heart.
