Thank you Cheryld. I am trucking along.

I've been doing the honey as you say and it does seem to be helping along with lots of gargling with salt and soda. smile

I've had some trouble with blood clots, pretty gross. Trying to move beyond the pain and eat as much as I can. Everything is not tasting good and finding it hard to cook for my family when I don't like anything that I am cooking.

I think I am going to have to get one of those blenders, I looked at ingredients in the boosts I've been drinking. so gross.
