You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

morning ladies   It's an early start as our friend has a very early appointment at Waikato this morning. 

ewwwww popeye, that silverbeet in 'sauce' sounds awful, I wouldn't have eaten it either.

Jan, I like the sound of those twisted caulis and told MrK about them.  We'll keep an eye out for some as they would be perfect for us.  We plant the smaller vegies now and there is much less waste.  I do feel for the commercial growers though and can see why some are selling up.  Yesterday Pak n Save had the smallest caulis cut in half for $6.  I agree with Lilith, those caulis are going to be wasted as who would buy them?  They weren't even big enough for a meal for the two of us.  Thank goodness for vegie gardens.

OHH, the steroid I've been taking for my back is Celecoxib and one the doc prescribed for MrK.  It's certainly freed up my movements that's for sure.  Another day or two and I won't need them

I worked on the kotare/kingfisher for a bit yesterday and his beak and eye are done.  I have this eye staring at me now, quite unnerving lol. 

Better get cracking, washing needs to be hung out before I pick our friend up for his appointment.

Happy crafting

Ahhh, so it isn't a magic something else kind of steroid at all, it is exactly what keeps me moving without screaming. I have been on it - it is an nsaid, a non steroidal anti inflammatory - for decades now, but as it does have side effects on the gut my doc insists I take another med with it to protect my tummy. Bit late now I reckon, as another doc I had blamed it for my ongoing anaemia, the one I balance out with B12 drops. Celebrex is a fantastic drug, it was withdrawn for a couple of years but it is back now wearing a different packaging and is very effective. I can tell within a very short time if I have missed a dose, which is why I was in real trouble when the haematologist abruptly ordered me off them for a couple of months over the damned PE. Stupid woman, putting me on fentanyl was her idea of a replacement. Me, the one allergic to narcotics? Tg I have a good gp who listened to my pleas and researched the celecoxib we have now and put me back on it.

Docs who bother to research treatments outside their specialities are worth their weight in gold.

Do be a bit careful with it though, especially if it hasn't been prescribed for you specifically. Those side effects are significant, and the pain it damps down could be a warning of other things not just arthritic or overuse injury. It is magic stuff though...
