All about me part two.
She (the doctor) said that by taking vit B it will help my brain and memory and help the healing process in my shoulder, and the vit D will definitely help improve the shoulder.
So, when I see the pain specialist tomorrow, I'll take the reports with me.
Hopefully when all this starts taking effect on top of what I get tomorrow, my body will start healing itself.
Should be able to tackle the cholesterol over the next few months.
But, breathed a huge sigh of relief that my liver is working, so I'm going to rooly rooly start taking care of it and it's owner.

Speaking of cooking ... a challenge perhaps? The lovely Fennel posted the following on The Steppers thread recently and I thought WOW ... they sound great and I had everything but the tofu and rice paper at hand. So I bought some and made them today. Care to try making them? I had never worked with rice paper before today ... Basil Summer Rolls With Peanut Dipping Sauce 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained 1 1/2 ounces uncooked rice vermicelli noodles 5 tsp. rice vinegar, divided 2 T lower sodium soy sauce, divided 2 T dark sesame seed oil 1 1/2 T hoisin sauce, divided 2 tsp. sambal oelek 1 cup thinly sliced napa cabbage 3/4 cup julienned carrots 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps 2 T fresh mint leaves 8 8" rice paper sheets 8 large basil leaves 4 green onions, cut into two 4" slices 1 1/2 T peanut butter 1 T water 1. Cut tofu crosswise into 4 slices. Place tofu on several layers of paper towels. Cover with additional paper towels. Let stand 10 minutes, pressing down occasionally. I put a cutting board with two number 10 cans of tomatoes to weight down the tofu. 2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain. 3. Combine 1 Tablespoon vinegar, 1 T soy sauce, 2 T sesame oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce, and sambal oelek in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, and mint. Toss gently to coat. 4. Add hot water to a large shallow dish to a depth of 1 inch. Place 1 rice paper in dish. Dip for about ten or twenty seconds, until soft. If too soft, you will have a devil of a time wrapping it around your ingredients, so be conservative. 5. Place a dry kitchen towel on a work surface. Place rice paper on towel. Place 1 basil leaf on bottom third of sheet, leaving a 2 inch border; top with 1 tofu slice, about 3 T of cabbage mixture, about 2 T of noodles, and 1 onion slice. Fold bottom of sheet over the filling. Fold sides of sheet over filling; starting with filled side, roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Gently press seam to seal. Place roll, seam side down, on a serving platter (cover, to keep from drying out). Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, basil, tofu, cabbage mix, noodles and onion. 6. Combine remaining 2 t vinegar, remaining 1 T soy sauce, remaining 1 T hoisin, peanut butter, and 1 T water in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Serve with summer rolls.

Tawny you had all that but the rice paper & the tofu?? Wowsers...did you scoff 'em?
I make these occasionally but with pork or prawns usually...looooove them.
I'm very pleased to hear you scoffed salmon & veg...you always were pretty good on the fang. Yay for eating!

Raggsie good to hear you've got a plan in place, I'd be interested to know if you notice the difference with the Vit B...and I'm glad Mr Rags delivered only a little prick.

Why do Americans say tuna fish?

The same reason we say PIN number.

Raggsy I’m so glad your Dr is giving you a treatment regimen that may help. Now – I hope this doesn’t sounds like criticism, but knowing and loving you as we do, are you perhaps using your shoulder more than you should be? It worried me when you said it was hurting when you changed gears because I would have thought that sort if usage was verboten while you were trying to heal.

Happs – I reckon you should be eating bum nuts with buttered Turkish bread. (:H presents nostrils for bum nut insertion).

Tawny I’m glad to see you’re eating again.

Cori - it’s been such a long time since a cute guy checked poles in my paddock I wouldn’t remember what to do. :upset:

I've lost count of the number of times I've gone all schoolteacher with bank tellers over Pin number.

Glassy, that's why I'm going to Brizzie. To get an automatic car. About $3,00 cheaper up there than here, so that's why I'm doing the trek.
Yep, glad I didn't put off having the tests. Now after I see the other guy tomorrow, I'll be on my way. Glad I won't be turned into a tin of whiskas! :H
Honest injun, I'm trying to use my arm as little as possible.

Hey,
I reckon we could start a whole nominative determinism section here.
Mr Sharp runs a knife sharpening business and Abigail Retort is a research scientist and Nigel Planer is a carpernter.


I'm ripping my hair out trying to think what the term is for the double word is. Oops popped a preposition in there.

All I can think of is tautology. Which it isn't.

OK off to early bed. See you when I get back . But will ask Aspy what's been happening.
Be safe Undies.

I knew about the car, but I also know you can't sit still for more than five minutes and you usually do more activity in a day than most of us do in a month. But OK - if you're honestly trying then I'll stop nagging. :h Hopefully I can get to see you on the weekend and we can have a three-armed hug. :l
