Busy week for me, so I cant be sick. I felt a gout attack coming on (after eating some delicious Saint Louis style BBQ ribs; that I really didnt want to waste) and I thought: oh crap, here its comes! Im going to be laid up, unable to walk.....and here I am out of town. Swelling and pain started in the foot and knee and I was thinking that I wont be able to walk for at least 3 days; if this is anything like the last couple times. So, I hit the apple cider vinegar, ate dark cherries like they were going out of style, drank LOTS of water, started with some Colcrys, Bromelain and NSAIDs and I think I WON this time. Unfortunately, its now a few more days without exercise. Its a pain in the butt, but Ill figure this out. YTD, theres been more steps backwards than forward and Ive got some lbs to shed because of the cumulative impact of many mini setbacks; but, if I can stave off these episodes (that hurt with unbearable pain), Ill be good. Still, Im feeling more accomplished having apparently staved off an outbreak than I felt after having a good Board of Directors meeting the other day. In hindsight, I guess I really had equal control of both things. Plus, I prayed about both, so I had good help.
