  1. I've been home sick for about 10 days, now. Doctors orders to rest while
    working on a diagnosis.

    ..Having lots of time suddenly is great for cooking, I have to say. I
    don't need to plan ahead, I can decide meal by meal what I feel like
    having. I have time for experiments, for fiddling and for cooking things
    that take time.

    Today was a particularly good. Chicken livers with thyme, shallots and
    sherry for lunch, served with white bread. A rainbow type of salad of
    finely chopped hard vegetables (plus bread( for breakfast, its leftovers
    for lunch. And dinner was something I had never come close to making. it
    probably isn't a new invention, but it was completely new to me. I
    grilled a marlin steak, and served it with simmered celery with
    shallots, dry vermouth, a bay leaf, green peppercorns, lemon juice, a
    small piece from a cube for chicken stock, lemon juice, pepper and creme
    fraiche. It was wonderful. My best experiment in ages. And there are
    leftover for tomorrow, too..

    Although I must say, chicken livers, bleah... ;-)

    I'm working o getting better. The main plan is to rest and eat very
    well. I have liver only about once a year and when I do, I always think
    I should have it more often. I like rustic foods. I am starting to want
    to make pate, but I'll need to find enough guests, first.

    Saute the lot of them in butter and just munch on them throughout the
    day --that'll help your innards.

    Jake, I had no idea you were away from home waiting on a diagnosis from
    doctors.
    Tell me, are they STILL practicing?

    I've been under a diagnosis myself for a couple of months waiting for a CT
    and the final diagnosis and reading Wednesday. The diagnosis was not cancer
    of the mouth, but some goofy explanation with this caveat: Come back if it
    gets worse. Don't you love it?
    In other words: following, following, following.

    I hope your spirits remain high.
    Best of luck,
    DeeDee

    Waiting for a diagnosis is no fun! After months of pain following an
    accident I had an MRI. The results were worse than I thought so most
    days I'm housebound at the moment. I see a neurosurgeon the end of this
    month. I'm just kind of trying the best to block it out and cope the
    best I can. It's nice to know what is going on but sometimes I would
    rather not kno.

    The waiting! Oh, the waiting! Always chose: "Nice to know what is going
    on."
    What is the best is: "they" know what is going on.
    I'm sorry that you are waiting, though. It can be tough.
    Good luck,

    I was in ICU for 7 weeks. It took docs from Sloan Kettering to give me a
    DX. What I had was really rare. None of the Wash U doctors could diagnosis
    it. Sometimes it takes awhile. I hope you and Jake will be okay. I was
    lucky.

    Nah, I am home, I am away from work, though.

    I'll get some test results early next week. With some luck, they won't
    have discovered anything serious In which case I'll still have some
    symptoms that may or may not need treatment. My being at home is in part
    necessary (I am not fit) and in part a precaution (in case I do have
    something serious)..

    I am hoping I'll get similar results 🙂 But it's not very "satisfying"
    when you can't get a full explanation or when improvement is not
    achievable through some sort of method, something that gives you a sense
    of influence over your health.

    I am enjoying the extra time for cooking and its results 🙂

    I hope your spirits are high, too.

    I am sorry to hear this, patches. It sounds a little worrying. Whatever
    it is, I hope things can be done to make the problem smaller and easier
    for you.

    That's the thing about doctors. None of them can retain enough knowledge
    to diagnose everything. Good ones will elevate the case while bad ones
    will use trial and error to no avail. Unfortunately my world seems to be
    made up of the latter.

    I hear Sloan Kettering is soooo good. Wash U? do you mean University of
    Washington in Seattle?
    I like the way you said "what I 'had'."
    I recall when I had cancer I saw an a magazine ad of a woman with a violin.
    She was so vibrant and under her picture was the sentence, "When I 'had'
    cancer, ...." I cut it out and put it on the bulletin board.
    People can be so inspiring and admirable.
    I must keep that in mind -- tee hee.

    It doesn't necessarily seem I have an innard problem, but what you're
