 CS> Yeah, bummer to lose a good one once you find one.

RH> Yes, I'm glad he kept extending over here so I could keep up the
RH> continuity of care.

Definately.  For you, that type of Doc is essential.



 CS> Oh, lab rate tests back <g>.  Yup, low grade calcium deficit here.
 CS> Fixable as it's been caught early.

RH> OK, gives you a chance to become Cheese Monkey #2 on here. (G)

Hehe I used to be number 1!

RH> switched from mostly cow's milk to mostly soy for drinking and on
RH> cereal.  We've also picked up on our yogurt consumption, especially
RH> Steve, in the last couple of years. Also, we've eliminated just about
RH> all pork (me rather reluctantly) and most red meat from our diet and
RH> added more fresh fish.

 CS> I get to have my cheese fix again <g>.  1 cup of cottage a week plus
 CS> at least 2 oz of 'other' a week.  I'm not a big yogurt fan but skim
 CS> ricotta will go back on the shopping list along with FF sourcream.

RH> Was it something you gave up intentionally or just sort of slipped awa
RH> from eating? I upped my yogurt eating when I knew I needed to get more
RH> calcium but didn't want the extra pills. (I already do use a couple a
RH> day.)  Over here we've become bigger ice cream eaters too but too much
RH> of that isn't good for either of us.

I gave it up in the seeking for a lower cholestrol diet.  It was hard and there
are some dietary tradeoffs involved.  I never did like yougurt that much as
it's normally too sweet for me (plain isnt but I cant imagine eating it just
plain either).

RH> Sounds like he's got his act togethr quite well. He appears to be
RH> incorporating the best of traditional and modern medical practice; I
RH> know you'll miss him when you move back to the states next year.

 CS> Yup.  It's Japanese style to do it that way.  I wont say all their
 CS> medical practices are great, but the eating for health part is very
 CS> common here with long time traditions.

RH> It sounds like a lot of "western" medical schools could take a lesson
RH> from their Asian counterparts.  Eating for health isn't exactly a majo
RH> part of their curriculum.

Yup and it gets more obvious as they trott out the same basics with no adaption
at all.

Some of the information on calcium now tries to say dont drink milk, that it's
hype from the marketing megatroidal dairy industry.  They often want you to
eat eggshells instead or pulversized oyster shells <g>.

RH> slipping into full blown osteoporosis; OTOH, I know my boes will never
RH> be in the "normal" range.  Good thing I like soy milk, cheese, ice cre
RH> (G), yogurt, etc and will push the greens more.

 CS> He hasnt mentioned exercise to me, but i think I probably get enough
 CS> for that to not be an issue.

RH> I think he probably knows you get more than the average amount.  I nee
RH> to get more han I do, OTOH, I'm not as much a "chair (vs couch) potato
RH> as my mom.  One good thing about this townhouse--I'm up & down the
RH> stairs umpteen dozen or more times a day. (G)

Try my life.  On the ship, I'd go 7 stories by foot by noon at the minimum and
normally double that (bathroom is on 3rd deck, work is 4 decks away, Pier is 4
from work and you have to travel up 3 to get to the HB then back down to
berthing to get dressed).  I'd have to store things like a camel to go just 7
by noon.  Wait, I didnt add right.  Cant do it with a mere 7.

3 to HB, 2 down to berthing, 4 back up.  9 stories minimum.  8 more per 'pee
break'.  6 to have lunch.  9 more before I can walk to home.  Average would be
9+9+8+8+6=18+16+6=28+12=40 stories.  Add in I live about 1.25 miles from the
ship and have to walk in and back, and you've got a decent trek per day not
counting going to tonoo market and other things.
