Not only is it the month that I married my wonderful husband 30 years ago but it is full, FULL, of Birthdays!!! Starting the 18th of August there are 6 very important birthdays and our anniversary plus 2 brand new beautiful baby boys!!!<br />

Recently my symptoms have increased a bit which makes me wonder how much longer I can go without meds. After the last medication sent me to the ICU I am very hesitant to start any new medication. The changes in my diet were helpful for a while but in the past six months or so the gluten free and dairy free diet just has not been helping. As a matter of fact upon hearing that the coconut (milk/ice cream/yogurt) products I had been eating may have been the culprit leading me to 3 kidney stones in three months I have just gone back to just eating limited dairy. My nails have thanked me, they were getting very brittle and ridged. So far no more kidney stones either. I have been focusing more on organic foods and choosing REAL food instead of processed. Being on the gluten free diet I was eating a lot more processed foods that I'm convinced have more sugar. I've switched to sourdough bread. Apparently the gluten breaks down in the process of making the sourdough. The best tip I've read regarding real food is to look at the ingredients list. If there are more than 4 or 5 ingredients leave it in the store. You would not believe some of the stuff they put in the food we have been eating. If you want to know go to foodbabe.com She tells you exactly what is in all kinds of foods/products and the labeling is very misleading. <br />
<br />
Now for the lemons! I've know for some time that lemons are very good for you. I put them in my water all the time. Lemons are cleansing so when I had my first kidney stone I started drinking hot lemon water in the mornings instead of tea. Once summer kicked in I decided to start making fresh squeezed lemon aid. I looked for some recipes and "holy sugar". A small pitcher of lemon aid calls for 1 cup of sugar. No thank you. So I tweaked it: <br />
<br />
Cut 4-6 Lemons in half and squeeze the juice out.<br />
Next make a simple syrup (they used 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar)<br />
I used 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup sugar. (I would prefer to use honey but my honey supply has been low)<br />
heat water until sugar is dissolved <br />
<br />

I have always loved having a swimming pool. It is always great fun with family and friends and even just me laying on a raft floating the day away. Normally pools aren't very hard to take care of. Unless the pool is in my backyard. For some reason we always have strange pool related problems. <br />
<br />
There was the time when two dogs (not mine) got into our pool. At the time we had thick hedges around our entire yard with gates at the front and side of the yard. There was an area of hedges that was a bit sparse so we put some mesh fence up to keep our dog in. My dog was barking like crazy (Fortunately he was in the house at the time) so I looked out side and there was a little dog running back and forth on the deck by the pool and a great dane, yes a great dane was in the pool with his front paws on the deck trying to get out. By the time I got out the door the little dog was also in the pool. I got the little dog out but there was no way I could get the great dane out. I noticed a neighbor out cutting grass so I begged for his help. He got in the pool and lifted the dog out. Of course a dog in the pool means holes in the liner. Thankfully the damage was covered by the dog owners home owners insurance. Oh...How did they get in my yard? They knocked down the mesh fence. <br />
<br />
Then there was the time a few years later. We were on vacation and my nieces who were house/dog sitting called because the water level was dropping rather quickly. They soon found a very wet area where water was gushing out of the pool. <br />
<br />
A few years later, the day before we left for vacation my neighbor came running to my front door yelling about the water!!! By the time I got out back the pool was collapsed on one side and all the water was running down the street. Thankfully no one was in the pool at the time…ugh! <br />
<br />
The following summer we got a brand new pool. Our deck was built over the edge of our old pool so when the installers came to put the new pool in they discovered that the new pool was about an inch taller so they proceeded to cut the deck. Let me just say that I could have done a better job blindfolded!!! Now this nice new pool was rust proof…yay right. <br />
<br />
Which brings us to this year (the third summer for this rust proof pool). Not one, not two, not three but FOUR rust spots. Two of which you can see the pool liner pushing out and a few hours later…1 hole then 2 holes and a warranty that only covers the pro-rated pool wall. Not the liner. Not the installation of the new pool wall and certainly not the installation of the new liner. Not the gallons upon gallons of water to fill it back up. We've patched the holes and in the spring we will have to order the new pool wall and a new liner, drain, take down the rusted rust proof pool and liner, and put the new wall and liner up. Then fill the pool with gallons and gallons of water. YAY! <br />
<br />
The old pool collapsed <br />

15 days of rain in May, <br />
and so far 15 days of rain in June. <br />
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!! <br />
<br />
I completely understand the April showers because ya know they bring May flowers…well right now my flowers are drowning. AND...This is seriously putting a dent in my lazy days of relaxation sitting by the pool. Thank goodness we didn't plop down a whole bunch of money on a pool heater. I really wanted one until I saw the price :( It would just be sitting out there getting rained on while I sat inside thinking of all the things I could have bought with that lump of cash!!! RAIN RAIN GO AWAY. <br />
<br />
Well I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. So far 2014 hasn't been all that great weather or health wise. <br />
<br />
Weather wise:<br />
16 days of snow in January with 15 days below freezing (-9 the lowest),<br />
18 days of snow in February with 17 days below freezing,<br />
8 days of snow in March with 4 days below freezing and I think we were sitting at B's college baseball games for all 12 of those freezing days. Except for that first wonderful week in March that we spent in FL for spring training. Ahhhhh Baseball and the Beach!!! A few of my favorite things. <br />
<br />
Health wise:<br />
From January to March: 3, count them 1,2,3 KIDNEY STONES!!! I don't care what anyone says this is the worst pain ever…and I've experienced lots and lots and LOTS of pain prior to this. Just so you know (and I pray you never do) the stent that is suppose to help is just as painful as the kidney stone. How do I know this? When they put me out and went in to blast the stone and put the stent in so that none of the pieces would cause blockage (which according to Dr. J the blockage is what causes the pain, not the stone. I'm still on the fence about that). So as I said they went in to blast the stone but the stone was already gone. They still put the stent in and for the next week, until they took the stent out, I had just as much pain. So thankful for pain medication. <br />
<br />
If you are squeamish you may want to skip this part. <br />
<br />
Now I'm the type of patient who wants to know as little as possible. If you are my doctor I trust you to take good care of me so just give me the basics and do what you need to do. So I go to have the stent removed and after it is out Dr. J says "do you want to see it"? My brain is screaming NOOOO you don't want to see it but because I don't want to appear squeamish I look over at him and holy stent tube batman it is ginormous! After I get home of course I web search it and here are some pictures:<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a stent. <br />

<br />
More health wise:<br />
Ever since this started my blood work has been out of whack. Elevated calcium, elevated creatinine, elevated tryglicerides. What in tarnation is going on!!! My PCP wanted to put me on a medication for the high trygliceride but I told them I wanted to try to adjust my diet first and see if that helps. I did learn from my oncologist that the Arimidex she has me on can elevate the tryglicerides so she recommended getting more omega 3 fatty acids in my diet. So thats what I'm doing. The elevated creatinine is most likely related to the kidney stones and the elevated calcium could be too.<br />
They did test the one stone and it was a uric acid stone. They are concerned that I developed stones 2 and 3 in such a short period of time (they did not show up on the X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans in January) so I will be having some Metabolic testing done soon…as long as it doesn't involve a stent I'm good to go!!!<br />

Just one problem…it was in the 40's!!! In spite of the chill it was such a beautiful wedding ceremony right on the beach and the reception was in the surf club. They closed the glass doors to the beach but the other end of the room was open to the pools so they had these large heaters<br />

We spent the first two weeks of March in FL. One week for business and one week for baseball. I got to spend some of that time on the beach…Oh how I love the beach.<br />
Busy because I am the team photographer…which means I take about 700 pictures per game, edit those pictures down to about 400, and upload them to the web for the coaches and players. The coach uses my pictures for the college website, the conference website, and local newspapers. Yes I am a published photographer ahem ahem!!! :) I love doing it but it is very time consuming so I have had to put my sweepstakeing on hold.<br />

She is a great party planner too so we spent days searching for some great fish recipes for our Christmas Eve Feast of Fishes. Notice that I don't call it Feast of Seven Fishes…because I am never good at doing just seven. One year we ended up with eleven fish dishes…not a good idea…just way to much food. Usually we do less then seven and that works the best for us. <br />
<br />
Now where do you go to get great fresh fish? <br />
Wholey's in the Strip District. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZ8cyO4bQCZqqH1VbAo5M1wUUYtJEOSoXgKvDgOhSh6ogV27AekwLLMvxKu6rrELoU4b2abVM9blSdtHU_H2Xx0E5XqJTeo_tCG8c9aTt178TdmLvPfTABYgy7nB4iuVYJqBpvlrLveY/s1600/Wholey's.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZ8cyO4bQCZqqH1VbAo5M1wUUYtJEOSoXgKvDgOhSh6ogV27AekwLLMvxKu6rrELoU4b2abVM9blSdtHU_H2Xx0E5XqJTeo_tCG8c9aTt178TdmLvPfTABYgy7nB4iuVYJqBpvlrLveY/s320/Wholey's.jpg" /></a></div><br />
So the day before Christmas Eve we headed to the strip. First stop Biscotti Yum! If you are going to the strip you have to get some Biscotti. Next is Penn Mac (Pennsylvania Macaroni Company) <br />

Get all your Italian goods here, from olive oils to imported San Marzano tomatoes, but prepare to stand in line, especially at the cheese counter where you will find a super cheese section and Carol will be sure to call you "dearheart". C braved that line and the deli line while G and I explored the rest of the store. Now for Wholey's and yes more long lines…so we go in and hang out by the shrimp while we plan our strategy to get all the fish we need. So there is this guy with an apron on and we start asking him about the shrimp, he told us about all the shrimp and which one was his favorite. So then he asks if we need anything else and we tell him what we need as we look over at the crowd of people at the fish counter. He says "Would you like me to go over and get what you need" and we are all "OMG yes that would be so wonderful" and off he goes behind the counter and gets everything we need. He comes back and we try to give him a tip because he just saved us so much time. He says oh no thats alright and we say no please take it and he says no really no and we say please you saved us so much time and he says "no, I'm Mr. Wholey"!!! Then we were even more thankful and thrilled to meet him. He was so nice. <br />
<br />
So here are the results of our planning, shopping, and cooking<br />

One of my favorite Christmas movies and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday with family and friends.<br />
We start the day at K's house for a wonderful breakfast. Then off to the theater. If you love this movie you must, MUST see it on the big screen. <br />

This year when I put my tree up a few of the strands were out. No problem…I had a few small strands of white lights and I was able to use them to light up the dark areas. <br />
<br />
Then a few days later I turned my tree on<br />
<br />
Problem:<br />

3/4 of the tree was out.<br />
<br />
It was so sad looking.<br />
<br />
Solution:<br />
I put my LED snowflakes on the tree<br />

A little better but still sad<br />
<br />
Better Solution:<br />
Santa's elves came along and put some colored lights on the tree<br />
