Hey All!!!! Besides his job on Eglin AFB, my brother Ed has a small LRM catering business. He is a trained chef. YEAH!!! I am eating well. He has read the renal diet and found out just how important it is for recovery. The diet is meant to aid in the health of the new kidney, to prevent some side affects of the transplant medication and the healing of the body. He says he has read more labels in the past week then in in his entire life before. He said that pretty much everything on the shelf is wrong for me. Either to high in fat, sugars or specially salts. So, I get three freshly made meals from fresh products. We keep track of each group, protein, starch, vegetables, fruits and dairy. It was too difficult to get it all at three meals. So now we have three meals and two snacks a day. I told him I was going to chain him to him kitchen when we get home.
We decided it was the getting in and out of the car the other day that pushed the limits. So getting more walks in around the Town House area. The weather has been with us to do more. This morning we took an 8 block walk before breakfast. We try and go 2 blocks farther each walk. I also have found out that going around with the Fred Mertz’s look is much more comfortable.
So its pretty much R & R today. But with each walk I am feeling much better.
I hope you are all doing well. Because up here,”Its all good!!!”
Love to all, Alan
