Health Mystery solved


And the winner is Alpha Gal! After three + years of dealing with my husbands nauseas, lethargy, toilet issues, rash breakouts all over his body, many doctors and procedures we have the answer. I suspected it was this at the time but no doctor would listen and no lab would do this test. I was told that lab does not perform this test. We were left with no answers and he is under 50 and in good health otherwise. I dove down the rabbit hole and was starting to read about other men with the same symptoms.

Fast forward to this year and our family doctor returned from service and he listened. And his office allowed the test to be run and his lab actually did the test. Positive for Alpha Gal. Nothing was given to us just that answer, positive. So now we move forward to avoiding meat and animal products. He loves steak and pork so this will be a change. We will see how it goes as he ages. The thing is that is was chigger bites and not a tick bite that set this all off. My husband is highly sensitive to chiggers. So now we take steps for him to avoid getting bit.

Orange you gonna introduce me?


My foster kitten behind my monitor.

He likes to sleep on the LED's.

 

Kitten kapitulation



Yes, I still have my foster kittens up for rehoming, the ones we rescued from the road. No one wants kittens, puppies nor other pets thanks to gas prices, pet food shortages and vet cost. So we are moving forward with getting them to the vet, shots and then neutering. They are almost 3 pounds now and still tiny. They are more active and have the run of the house. They just might become ours, only time will tell. For now they are still 51 & 52 and they come running when I call kitty kitty. 

 

Mobility and Robots

 Today, I met a woman with ALS and severe arthritis. She told me about the surgery to her feet where rods were inserted and 6 weeks later, rods removed without anesthesia. But her doctors had no information to help her with her mobility needs. As her ALS progresses she will be in a wheelchair. So I sent her a list of mobility robots now for sale. I am sharing this list. This is where I think robots serve a great need and purpose. For our loved ones, friends, co-workers, veterans and more. Feel free to share.

If you are in the VA, I know for a fact that Myomo is covered by the VA.
