When life gives a barrage of lemons.....lol.

[greatjohn]

After a few months of urinary blockage issues (6 weeks of catheter) 3 emergency rooms...Nashville, the Mayo Clinic, Lenox Hill (N.Y.)

Getting that under control for over 2 weeks...and hoping PSA would finally settle and go down a bit...but, alas, (ONCOLOGIST SAID IT NEEDED TO GO DOWN)

But, here comes more lemons....it went up again. Still feeling great after the urinary issues and the antibiotics....and selling lemonade. 🥰

Gotta keep on keeping on...the journey continues.

Glad you are feeling better. I will buy some lemonade heat it up add a dash of bourbon and POW a hot toddy! Keep on the mend.

GJ...glad to hear you are finally getting that urinary blockage resolved. What an ordeal you have gone through with that one! Hang in there, bro’. There’s lemonade and fluffy lemon meringue pies on the horizon. Don’t look back. It’s not the direction you’re going. And hopefully the direction your PSA will be going will be down. Peace out, dude.

[greatjohn in reply to Litlerny]

thanks! I'm sick of lemonade...LOL. The stand isn't making a lot of money, either...

hey John,

you just reminded me of a book I had learned of a while back but had not read....so I googled and found it.....sounds like something to read now:

Lemon: A Global History (Edible)

amazon.com/Lemon-Global-His...

(copied and pasted from "amazon" page

(btw, I am a bricks and mortar book buyer when feasible....not promoting the big "A"):

""

"You can squeeze it, zest it, slice it, juice it, pickle it, or even take a bite out of it as Sicilians do. Adding freshness and flavor to food and drinks, this versatile sour fruit, also known for resolving diverse health and household troubles, has long been considered vital to Mediterranean and European cookery and cuisine."

"Lemon: A Global History tells the story of the remarkable adventure of the lemon, starting with its fragrant and mysterious ancestor, the citron, adored by the Greeks and Romans for its fine perfume and sacred to many of the world’s great religions. The lemon traveled with Arabs along ancient trade routes, came of age in Sicily and Italy, and sailed to the New World with Columbus. It was an exotic luxury in seventeenth-century Europe and later went on to save the lives of thousands of sailors in the British Royal Navy after being recognized as a cure for scurvy. The last century saw the lemon’s rise to commercial success in a California citrus empire as well as the discovery of new varieties. This book also includes delicious recipes for sweet and savory dishes and beverages."

back to reality: Sorry you have too many lemons......

real world suggestion: buy some salted in the shell peanuts and watch some baseball.

all my best to you.

....doing GREAT, really ATC (all things considered)...LOL.

that's my new "catch phrase/abbreviation"~~ATC.

P.S.

Thanks...lemons are really great in small doses! They do add zest.

P.P.S.

This was kinda just how I felt (just a few days after my 3 months lupron shot) when I realized that in the past forty years I had been in the emergency room ONE time...and in the past year...FOUR times. And have gone from wearing tight trousers just a few years ago... to wearing only loose ones...to accommodate my Depends...with comfort. I feel like I've gone from 60 to 0 in 20 seconds...LOL. (another analogy)

Life is (still) Beautiful!

Yeah keep going!

[larry_dammit]

Want lots of sugar in mine please 🤪🤪🤪

[greatjohn in reply to larry_dammit]

Hmmm...you're reminding me. We lucky folks on here(with PC) are supposed to not eat sugar...yikes...that means we're having to drink some sour lemonade. The analogy just keeps getting more fitting....and, more perfect for fueling our Lupron induced bouts of depression 🥳

[j-o-h-n]

Keep rolling GJ... as long as you don't lose the zest for life.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
