Bonnie,

I hurt so much in so many places I don't know what all I got now but it all hurt. I see the arthritis doctor, the neurologist, the VA doctors and my PCP. I take massage therapy, shots in my joints and I still feel my stroke is getting me weaker and weaker. I just don't know which way to turn anymore.

I wish you the best and a happy turkey day. I plan on trying to fry one "myself", my wife say no way, but I am going to attempt to do it on my own. I bought the fryer and the oil and the turkey. I really like it fried now.

Fred, for as long as I have known you. you have been a believer; therefore, put your body in Who you believe in. In some strange way, it's proven it works.

As for your fried turkey, I have never had any. I guess though that because I love fried food, I'd love it. I know it's popular here in the south. I suppose our northern cousins perfer to roast the bird because all that roasting and baking, as well as make the home smell good, also heats the home. I agree -of course I don't have to live with your wife - go for it! You've got all you need to do it so go man go! Just tell the good Mrs . King that since you are making the turkey, she can make all of the healthy things like veggies. LOL!

Bonnie, your tests have proven your way of treating osterporosis must be working. Any change for the good, no matter how small, is a positive.

I can smell the desserts now.........

I really enjoyed reading about your grandson. He certainly is a big one!. Tell him if the coach thinks he has the potential to go for it. He appears to have the physical requirements. If he wishes to go to college, this is the way to go because unfortunately (perhaps) atheletic scholarships usually include everything, and with todays expenses, that is a big help. That, of course doesn't mean that studies are to be overlooked. From there, if he can continue to excel, he can get a chance with the pros, and from there, if he is smart and doesn't blow the money he makes at it, he is set for life. If, in the end though, he decides not to go further, he will have his education paid for. The bright side also is that if he does go pro, he always has his degree when those days are over. Not all young men have that opportunity.

Have a great time with the family and as I do and everyone should, enjoy the holiday! Eat to your heart's content, well almost if you have problems such as diabetes or high cholerterol and then, the theory from dieticians is if it is hard to resist, just cut the portion sizes of those things and figure them into your diet plan.

bonnie that is great news on your tests. keep doing what your doing it obviously is working. your grandson sounds like a pro in the making, congrats to him. could you send an extra banana bread my way,lol i hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving, sounds like you will be eating well.

Bonnie,

I'm glad the test results showed an improvement. Keep on keeping on with what you're doing. Hope your right arm starts doing better. I 2nd Kim's offer to take any extra banana bread off your hands As to fine strapping grandson of yours, perhaps one day he'll be a pro and even be be drafted by the STEELERS.

Fred, I've never had fried Turkey but it does sound delish.
