Is it possible you're not registered for Meals on Wheels or any of the other Senior Services available in Florida? They've been very helpful in several things for my Mom (though we don't do MoW because I cook). Do you need some help getting their attention? Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Which 3rd world country are you living in. If it was America there is all kinds of help for people in your position. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I don't do MoW, but do have light housekeeping at 20 an hour and laundry at 15 an hour starts jan 2nd. bur rent and utilities come first and housekeeping is once every three or four weeks. mobility scooter is 'in the works' but medicare only pays 80 per cent and I need a super heavy duty cart due to morbid obesity but quacks won't look for any infection causing it. |

Because they know it's your diet and total lack of exercise. I eat between 1pm and 7pm, nothing at all for the 18 hours in between. 20 grams of carb a day. 1600 calories a day. And I eat very well. Tonight I made pork fried rice, made with riced cauliflower instead of real rice. Had thin sliced radishes in it, sliced Brussels sprouts, thin sliced turnip, about 6oz cooked pork loin. Cooked in the wok with a little oil and and egg. A big bowl of food, couldn't even finish it, under 1600 calories for the day and 20 carbs, No sugar, no bread, no grains, no starches, no fruit, no carb laden anything. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Sounds great, except for the pork part since I have gout. Does it come in beef fried rice? What is the brand name involved? |

I also have gout and take Allopurinol. The meal is all cooked by me, I'm the brand name. I eat no processed food. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Florida.
Alas... Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |
