Here’s a side effect of losing 60 pounds: my wedding rings no longer fit. They are so loose, in fact, that if I gesture ‘loudly’ with my left hand, they fly off and bounce across the room! I don’t want to re-size them, yet, because after this elimination diet is … Continue reading
Back in December, I mentioned that we were going to Travel For Medical Care. Next Tuesday is our Big Day. We will see a new GI and a new Allergist on Tuesday, and hopefully get an appointment with the nutritionist they both use. We picked doctors in Atlanta, mostly because … Continue reading
