My first consult with the oncologist is next week. The cancer is of the
squamous cell type and therefore, not aggressive. Today Im seeing a new
doctor that my pulmonologist set up. And I'm confused. My problems are
lungs, kidneys and heart. The new deal is a rheumatlogist and I just
don't see, on the surface, how that fists my profile.

It's like a tight rope act. Got to stay balanced.

I do when they're following their orders. Left on my own I don't go

Mennonite - Amish with a phone and/or a car. Bv)=
We have a thriving Amish area not far from me. Have to be careful driving
in that area lest you run over a buggyclip clopping along the road.

Title: Amish Chicken Corn Soup
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Pasta
Yield: 12 servings
1 md Onion; chopped
2 Celery ribs; chopped
1 c Shredded carrots
2 lb Boned, skinned chicken;
- diced
3 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
12 c Water
2 c Uncooked egg noodles
29 1/2 oz (2 cans) cream-style corn
1/4 c Butter
Celery leaves; opt
Coarse ground pepper; opt
Place first 8 ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring slowly
to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken
is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 30
minutes.
Stir in noodles, corn and butter. Cook, uncovered, until
noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. If desired, top with celery leaves and
pepper.
UDD NOTES: I substituted Minor's/GFS Chicken Base for
the bouillon and increased to salt to taste. This works
well, with minor adjustments, in a crock-pot. It also
freezes well - especially if you have the jar sealer
attachment for your vacuum sealer.
