Lynn's Guestbook

Hi Fellow Wisconsite and bicuspid aortic valve "sister" Lynn - I am from Kenosha, and attended college in Oshkosh. Hope you continue to get stronger every day - enjoy the warmer weather!

Hello lynn, you asked about my diet changes? Well to start with, the wife and I went through all the canned goods, read all the labels and then gave those to the neighbors. After giving away the unwanted food, the wife and I went to the store and bought all fresh vegetables and fruits. Then the wife started to make salad dressings on her own. I guess the wife is using me as her role model to get fit. Everybody around me in the neighborhood exercise walking bicycling etc etc. The neighbors see me and they scratch their head since they always see me and the wife out walking the dog and preparing our hiking gear that go into the White mountains. I told the neighbors what I have could be genetic or combination of genetic and poor food choices when I was young and on my own. Nevertheless I'm having oatmeal now with berries the morning instead of eggs and bacon etc. Instead of crackers for snacks, it sliced apples and peanut butter yum. Suppertime is been salads with Chicken and homemade salad dressing. I'm loving it as with the wife. I'm looking for good recovery from surgery next week. And, I told the wife under no circumstances do you allow me to stay in the recliner for any length of time.
