Yeah they are nice, sure beats a knife.
I just made some cashew chicken what a horrible awful miserable experience that was. I don’t know what got into me. I haven’t been feeling very good after my ordeal today. Mild headache that moves all around my head and dizzy. I’m still not convinced it was a seizure, after 13,000 seizures I’ve never had one like that before. The problem is once you’ve been diagnosed with epilepsy it seems like every bizarre thing is some kind of a seizure. It’s as though they don’t look any further or anything else.

@jakedduck1 I know the feeling, of being sloughed off because of one condition when it very definitely may not be related. I am sure with a diagnosis of epilepsy that happens a lot. Hopefully if what you experienced was a seizure it won't recur.
@helenfrances Sometimes it is best to not strain relationships with personal friends or relatives with medical questions. Our closest friend is a doctor but I have discovered that he thinks he knows more than he does when it gets outside of his specialty. I no longer ask him anything. He is going to be very offended when/if he discovers that I have changed doctors since he thinks the one I had been going to is the greatest. I really like that doctor but I feel as if he has let some issues fall through the cracks and that is not acceptable to me.
@fiesty76 I know what you mean about having the real thing. Ken's dressings (I think they are national but perhaps not, Ken's Steakhouse was in MA) makes a really good Greek dressing that but it has a lot of sodium so I no longer buy it. I like Caesar salads too but only get them occasionally in restaurants.
The new PCP is nice and I suspect a very good doctor. My appointment was a "new patient" visit and she spent over an hour with me going over my huge medical history. I doubt I will ever have the rapport and bond with her that I felt with my old PCP though. That was what kept me with him for a long time.
My prior PCP actually called on Thursday night and we talked for almost a half-hour! He took the blame for letting my osteoporosis fall through the cracks and said he understood my feelings. He also said if I ever want to come back he would welcome me -- he has a closed practice and does not generally accept new patients. It was a good conversation and as always we had some personal/family type of discussion too. He feels like a friend which made it very difficult to leave him. He always comments on how much he admires how I handled my cirrhosis and liver transplant, working to get in shape and lose weight prior to having the transplant and having such a positive attitude. He is sort of a fitness type of person - he has a good physique - so we always discuss my exercise too, things that are not generally on the agenda with a PCP appointment. He also asked who my new PCP was and when I told him he said she is excellent. Honestly, I will miss him!
@lioness I feel 100% certain that no matter what, they will not shut the country down, except to the countries that are not allowing us to go there.

It is always a blessing when we find a doctor whom we trust and who cares about us.
I never hesitated to change docs when I thought that I should try someone else.
I am fortunate (?) to have a medical person in my family... but he has been wrong (for me) in a recommendation he made. I no longer ask a family member for advice.
