I had a bout with vertigo as well, but not so bad as that. I went to a friend who is a physical therapist and he moved my head around to work the crystals that were apparently causing the vertigo and I haven’t had any problems since. Depending on what is causing yours, there may be exercises on line you can try at home if you don’t want to go to a pt.
Been there a lot. We have a whole lot of good curvy roads around here that are fun to drive. Sometimes I miss the bikes but I’ve broken enough bones over the years....
Yeesh! Glad your better at least. Makes my general aches and pains seem pretty insignificant!
Dang that's terrifying. I'm glad you weren't more seriously hurt. Hope your hand is okay.
Yeah that string can be rough! My fingers were pretty sore the last time I practiced. It’s like anything, practice and build up skill and stamina slowly. I miss my youth for the fact that most things like this came naturally and easily for me then. Now it takes effort.
I know what you mean. I hope you get 100% soon. I know that mine wasn’t that bad, but it was still bad enough!
Very true. I am going thru just that now. I had to semi hack into Greg’s stuff to do the taxes, let alone trying to do right by his clients. That doesn’t even touch all the prepping stuff that he was responsible for that I never had a chance to learn. Food is fine...I did that part! But there are tons of stuff I am not even sure what it is....it was luck I even found a life insurance policy...and finding another partner seems pretty distant at 63...
I don't even want to think what you are going thru. I get sick to my stomach just thinking of my wife not being here, we still hold hands in our sleep and dance to oldies in the living room at 2 am. Every thing is suddenly turned upside down when you lose somebody, especially if they loved you so much, but ignored the follow-ups of trying to get along without them. I have forced my wife to go with me to do the taxes, drive more, prep with me, learn to do herbal cough syrup, start fires, work in the cellar with rotation of the food and things. The house, the car, the bank account and the trailer are all in her name...all my passwords are written down in a small safe and she knows how to open it, my son too. All my phone numbers are in a book with copies of my passwords...I went to Hungary to work on the house and she stayed in Germany for a total of 2 months alone and got more self-sufficient. She would make it without me. Smart and pretty, just not strong against the coldness and violence of this world sometimes. God bless Doreena, hope you make it well. GP
Cool, I think that when I go to the grocery store I will get a big sack of potatoes and freeze dry them raw as chunks. I have cooked and mashed freeze dried, but the raw would be better for stews. I have done that with turnips so I don’t think it would be a problem with potatoes.
I’m wondering if soaking them in some diluted lemon juice would help keep them from browning? Or would it change the taste too much? It’s fun for me to try different ways on things to see what works best for me.
I have some of that citrus based powder that you put on peaches when canning and that doesn’t change the taste, but I don’t think freeze drying would make them turn brown...I hadn’t thought about it. Maybe someone else has on line.
I’ve had potatoes start turning off color in spots while I was still peeling the rest of them. Just dropping them in a bowl of water helps. I’ve done dehydrated potatoes and they get darker than the store bought ones.
