From alpha testing to the QUERCUS 200

I get times where eating´s a chore: I´ll postpone eating/cooking until I can´t ignore the hunger anymore and then eat something crappy just because it´s easy and high in calories (which is my body´s priority whenever I´m hungry). It´s not progress...
 
Eating is never a chore for me & never will be. It's one of life's great pleasures. Sending you lots of love Q, xoxo
 
I'm okay LaMa. The back has been a hassle, but I'm on two improved days in a row. I have taken up spoon carving to keep me sane while taking it easy. It keeps me busy and distracted from the pain. I'm still running minimum slow miles and eating too much. If I can keep healing I'll be back on track soon.
 
Yep Cate. As in taking a chunk of wood and making a spoon. I've made two so far and started a third.

Thanks LaMa! I'm feeling good today!
 
It's an oddball activity Cate. I thought it warranted some explanation.

So my back went back into spasm yesterday for no apparent reason. I'm trying a different medicine and going to the doctor in a little more than a week from now.

Still running and trying to get back to it today diet wise.
 
I love wooden things- bowls, spoons, plates, furniture.....Wood & stone.
Hope the new meds work Q. You are having a rough trot but still you keep running & never give up, xoxo
 
So I ended up at a doc in a box Friday evening because my back had gotten worse. I have decent medicine for it now, but it makes me so tired and out of it.

I have to get my shit together diet-wise, but it's tough when I'm hurting this bad.

Good news: my leg is all healed and I'm getting better at carving. E helps sawing and making the first split for the blanks and I take it from there.
 
Glad your leg´s better and you have some proper meds for your back but I really hope it settles soon. Hugs to you and E.

My back still sucks and I'm still squeaking out shitty runs. I am still eating too much. I did carve a fork and a wedding ring.
 
I'm on new new meds and the ravenous appetite is gone. I'm down a few pounds but the damage is done. 262 this morning.

My health is really poor. Despite my vegan diet, no drinking, and cholesterol medication for the past year, my bad cholesterol is still too high and my blood pressure is bad. I'm on a whole bag full of drugs now. I'm falling apart. I'm still running and losing weight again, but I'm afraid that isn't going to fix anything. I'd like to get my cholesterol, BP, and weight to healthy levels before I consider back surgery, but we will see if I can hold out that long.

I'd like to say I'll be on here more often, but I spend most of my free time carving and reading. It's also really hard to be positive or discuss my situation.

Thanks for being there for me WLF friends, but I mostly need to focus on something external and this diary is a place to reflect and share. I'll try to update sometimes. I'm sorry to not be there for you and share in your journeys. I wish everyone great success! I especially want to thank Cate and LaMa for being here for me even as I've been absent. Vee you've been a lot of the reason I've done as well as I have. All of you are special to me and are in no way why I am away. Take care! I'll try to do the same.
 
You are special to us too Q & I wish you all the best with your health & your future. It would be nice if you can pop in when you're feeling up to it. I would be happy to exchange personal contact details with you, via pm, if you would like to stay in touch. I'll leave it up to you to let me know if you would like to do that. In the meantime I wish you & E good health & send you lots of love, xoxo Cate.
 
What Cate said. All of it. I´m really sorry your health sucks so hard right now and I can fully understand that the forum isn´t for you at this point but I´d be sad to not know what ´s going on in your part of Texas. Best of luck hon.

Wow, it's much appreciated, Q, though I wish you were doing better physically. Dropping weight should help lower the bad cholesterol some, it usually does. Can't speak on the blood pressure though.

We've all been going through a rough stretch lately, apparently, but "this too shall pass" and all of that. I feel like as long as we keep trying and don't throw in the towel, there's always gonna be some good that's going to happen.

Keep strong, Q.

Have the doctors looked into how all of your medications might be causing underlying problems by interacting with one another? I work at an Assisted Living building and a lot of the people there take a TON of medications and, in many cases, they actually cause more problems than that person originally had. Just a thought.
 
Hey its another oldie! Nice too see you again Q! I sympathize with you on those meds. My husband had a stroke 3 years ago and all those pills have really done him in. Hang in there man
