A PERSONAL NOTE

 

As Christmas gets closer, so the stress levels increase for many trying
to put on a big shindig. We've agreed to dial it back in an enormous way
this year as I have one daughter moving across the country while the
other is having a rough time affording things on a day-to-day basis.
I've got some plans after the holidays to give a little money to each of
them, but I don't want to give it beforehand and have them spend it on
presents for other people.

It was a fun week for us, as my eldest arrived for a visit before
heading West. I'll be dogsitting my granddog, as she has accommodations
for three months at her new workplace, but dogs are not allowed. Raya
and I are getting along splendidly. She's very well-behaved and very
mellow. Her hobbies are playing fetch and keeping a watchful eye on my
cat, who scares her a little. The cat is likewise a little less than
pleased to have a new roommate. But there's been no bloodshed, and
they're inching closer together every day. I keep wondering if they'll
get past mere annoyed tolerance and become buddies. I hope so - that
would be fun.

My apartment is in utter chaos since my eldest removed her things from
her car so she could drive us places. Every time I get annoyed by that,
I remind myself that I'm so lucky that my girlies love spending time
with me,. And one day, I'll probably look back longingly at these days
when we were all together, jammed into a tiny space, playing games and
looking at old pictures.

Regarding my slow-healing ankle, I've begun a laser protocol on it, and
plan to get PRP injections in January. PRP was recommended by one of you
and when I brought it up with my doctor, he said I was an excellent
candidate. PRP stands for Protein Rich Plasma. Here's what Johns Hopkins
says about it.

Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid
portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an
important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known
for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that
can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or
healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that
contains more platelets than normal.

To create platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from the
patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly
spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from
the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient's blood sample,
that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee
or a tendon. In some cases, the clinician may use ultrasound to guide
the injection. The idea is to increase the concentration of specific
bioproteins or hormones, called growth factors, in a specific area to
accelerate the healing process.

What I find incredibly interesting (and frustrating) is that the
insurance company will pay for me to have surgery and be in a cast for
six months, but laser treatment - which is definitely providing some
relief - and PRP treatment are not covered. They're both 100% out of
pocket. So, despite the fact I finally have insurance after years of not
being covered, I'm still struggling to pay thousands of dollars for
appropriate care. Our system is a mess, isn't it?

I won't complain too much - improvement is improvement and I'm so glad
to be able to see the light at the end of the recovery tunnel.

How to Feed Your Family No Matter What

Having something to eat isn't guaranteed.

We're facing threats to our food supply from many different angles:
supply chain breakdowns, drought, food facilities being ravaged by
fires, skyrocketing inflation, and outright shortages. No longer can we
live in the comfort of unthreatened abundance. We're learning exactly
how delicate the system really is.

Prepping and putting back supplies is incredibly important but what
we're seeing now goes beyond that. You have to be able to produce and
acquire more food. You have to be able to put back your harvests to eat
during the winter. You have to be able to prepare items that once were
as convenient as popping open a can or little plastic container.

You need a paperback copy of How to Feed Your Family No Matter What
,
our Organic Prepper anthology with ALL of our content about food. You'll
get more than 500 pages of content that are all about food when you
can't just go to the store and buy whatever you want.
