Someone posted on facebook that Hell is Freezing Over in Edmonton with a whopping -45! That makes our little wind gusts of about 70 km/hr seem like a dream with -6 temperatures. We do have a skating rink for our parking lot, driveway and entrance to the highway, but when the wind dies down, perhaps this will make for faster coasting?!:)
I experimented last night with a gluten free flour package and made biscuits - not so good. But, this morning I made some good pancakes from scratch with a flour recipe that I got at the health food store in Cole Harbour. There was a bit of grit, but they tasted good. And, for anyone who has not tried Agave Nectar - it is a gift from the gods!
Michellie has been challenged with intense acid buildup in her stomache with some of the drugs she has to take, so her evening and this morning has been spent trying to keep control of this. Her rash has backed off significantly, and her skin is much smoother and softer than last week. She is relieved about that. She found some beautiful whisps of hair on the side of her head this morning, so she is encouraged to keep up with the Qi Gong exercises for hair growth. Her blood counts were fairly good from yesterday, so we are awaiting the time when they will bottom out, and then the recovery - this will be the last of the painful and tearful GCSF shots we have to give her for about a week each round. Still Michellie has not lost any weight through this whole ordeal, so she is also thrilled about this. Maybe she will be able to go to school for a bit this afternoon.
Thanks Michellie for the nice note-so glad you like the necklace.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,you might try baking with rice flour-a favourite of those with celiac disease-very fine-no lumps.
I ate some dry cereal a couple nights ago and have had heartburn ever since-I'm definitely a slow learner, and it seems definitley to be wheat, not yeast.
The Recipe for Gluten Free Flour Mix is:

ReplyDeleteKeep going one day at a time. The nausea and the acid are so miserable. Sometimes Pedialyte freezies are a help. The salts in them seem to settle the acid. And GCSF shots HURT! For some people, ice in a baggie held on the needle sight for three mins before the shot dulls the pain. You are in the final sprint to the finish now! You'll soon be done. Thinking of you all...
