I gave my stash to a young man friend who helped me out recently and refused cash so at least i was able to compensate him in trade.

My bowels have recovered since i started dieting, i'm in my fifth week! Have had a successful colo-rectal cancer screening. So no lasting damage there, thankfully.

My dentist has made me a night-guard to stop the deterioration of my tooth enamel and i brush with Sensodyne and my pain twinges have stopped. She says the exposed dentin might harden. So my teeth are okay too, with a little care. I don't think six crowns will be necessary, thank God!

So things are going great! I got out for a walk with my best friend and our dogs yesterday and we had a super time, the sun was sooooooo warm!

I bought some vegan foods as i'd like to explore that. I'm almost completely vegetarian and have been all my life, just my natural preference, but animal agriculture bothers me too. It's no life for them. There's a great active group on Facebook for vegans, so i have support there.

Really excited!

Have a beautiful day!

Jane.



P.S.: Some shots of my home in bloom attached.
Such beautiful flowers! Such great news! That’s wonderful! I hope you have a beautiful day as well! Sounds like you are on your way.
