Hi Sweetie! Thanks for asking. Everybody but me is doing well. I find out today if I am going to have surgery. Seems I not only have reflux that meds are not helping, but I also have an inflamed espoghus (sp) and a hiatel (sp) hernia. Can you believe that? Once I hit 53, everything started going downhill from gallbladders to hernias. LOL.

I sort of think I’m going to be in surgery soon as when I found out the espoghus was inflamed, the doctor told me that was a positive for his test. So anyhow will find out today.

PS: Did you ever find the manual on raising kids? I’m still looking! Even when they are adults it’s trying at times. Haha

Many years ago, going low carb stopped my reflux immediately. It hasn’t come back even when off low carb. Guessing it let everything settle down and recoup.

well all that sounds like it isn’t’ a good situation. When the GI tract is messed up, the pleasure in eating is surely diminished.

Neither surgery or meds are on my lists of wants and so I avoid them !!!

And yo are right on the age thing. Most of us took very much for granted the good health we had as youngsters and young adults. Slowly as things went bad we DID appreciate and understand.

Time for me to leave wifi...
