Hi Dave,
RH> When I was first diagnosed with hypertension, we tried a low/no sodium
RH> diet, found out it didn't affect the b/p at all. Switched back to our
RH> usual low sodium diet. We think the high b/p was brought on by round
RH> the clock use of albuterol (on doctor's orders) during one nasty case
RH> of bronchitis/atalectasis. Even cutting back on the albuterol didn't
RH> lower it so I've been on meds for it ever since.
DD> Albuterol is my "rescue" inhaler. I do Advaier (fluticasone/salmeter)
DD> 2 "puffs" per usage, twice a daay. It has helped me considerably since
DD> I now seldom need to pick up the "rescue" guy.
i started with Advair back in 2001; it was a miracle worker for me.
Between that and a really good pulmonology doctor in HI, my once out of
control asthma got under control. But, like all things, needs change so
this past August I was put on Trelegy, one puff every morning. It took a
while, but now seems to be working quite well (except for the nasty
taste). I'll be seeing the pulmonology doctor in Raleigh on Thursday,
get the results of the CT scan I had at the beginning of the month.
DD> Memorial lets one order as much or as little as wished. Thursday
DD> evening I opted for a nice chicken salad in wheat bread and a bowl of
DD> Jewish Penecillin.
RH> Sounds good to me.
DD> This last trip I had something I've never tried before - but6, which I
DD> will certainly seek out in the "real world" .... cod almondine.
It would probably work well with flounder too; that's our fish of choice
for something like that. Salmon would be a bit too strongly flavored on
its own, overpowering the other flavors, IMO.
DD> 8<----- HACK ----->8
DD> Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face
DD> plant on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I
DD> looked as if I had gone 10 reounds with George Foreman in boxer mode
DD> not grill mode.
DD> They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having
DD> too much CO2 in my blood gasses. Now I have to get used to sleeping
DD> with a Bi-Pap machine.
RH> That's going to be fun. I use O2 only when sleeping; if I have to get
RH> up during the night, the canula comes off until I'm back in bed.
DD> Actually it's not nearly as much a PITA as I had feared. And I get up
DD> less during the night. As a guy I can make do with a 'workaround'
DD> urinal and don't have to make the treek across the house. My O2 hose
DD> is long enough to get to anywhaere indoors without removing it. But
DD> the BiPap has me on a six-foot leash. Bv)=
Just don't toss and turn too much, getting wound up in it. (G) I've a
long hose for the concentrator (We keep it in the hallway to cut down on
bedroom noise.) so it is run over the top of the doorway, around the
back of a dresser and over to the bed. Still enough tubing I could (if
we had the space) move the machine elsewhere.
DD> Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II
DD> Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
DD> Yield: 2 Servings
RH> Looks good enough to pig out on, tho I don't know if I'd put the cheese
RH> on mine.
DD> I like the cheese. And it helps to glue the two pork patties together.
I like cheese but not always as part of a sandwich, only with certain
other "fillers". I'll eat a lot of it on the side--and seeing that this
has 2 pork patties, I'd probably reduce it to one. Two would be enough
for 2 sandwiches for me.
DD> This recipe will soon be converted from "Archives"to "Kitchen"
