A few months back I wrote about a new drug called Resveratrol which is expected to help combat the ‘disease’ known as aging. Another potential use for it is to fight off cancer and now it’s getting its first public trial. Members of a popular resveratrol forum, imminst.org, are chipping in to provide [...]

I’ve had asthma pretty much since I was born and unlike most people I know, I never grew out of it during my teen years. In my case it’s here to stay and it really sucks. I got switched off Ventolin though, they say that can be hard on the airways with extended [...]

As most know by now, my wife had been in for an operation a month ago, followed up by an emergency surgery 10 days later due to some complications. She’s been back home for 2 weeks and getting better every day, but she isn’t coming in to the store very much so far. [...]

Things were going fine for Jan during the last week, up until around 1am Wednesday morning. It started with stomach cramps and feeling like a lot of gas buildup. Then a half hour later she started vomiting and that continued all night, every 15 minutes or so. I took her to hospital [...]

After a long sleepless night in the hospital she would have begged to come home if the Dr. had so much as hinted that she would need to stay longer. Good news though, as soon as the Doc came in to see us he said she could go home today if she wanted to, [...]

There’s a lot of diet pills such as lipovox floating around the market out there and not all of them are as good as they’re cracked up to be. Before taking any kind of unprescribed medication it’s always best to do lots of research in advance and talk to your doctor anyway. It [...]

Today she’s doing much better. She’s starting to eat again and can sit up on her own although with a lot of difficulty. Apparently the night shift nurses tonight aren’t so good as the ones who were on during the day. They’re not helping her to sit up or walk, even though [...]

Just a quick update; after a relatively sleepless night we headed to the hospital at 6:30am, filled out a little more paperwork and then waited. At 7:45am Jan was taken into the OR and thus my waiting continued. She was out of the OR at around 10:30am and is currently still in the [...]

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, Jan goes into the hospital for her surgery. For those that don’t know, she has large uterine fibroids and lately they’ve been giving her some trouble. Due to their size and the way they’ve grown into the uterine wall, the only real option for removing them is to [...]

Next Monday the wife goes to the hospital for a surgery, she’ll likely be there for 3 days so during the early part of next week you may see the store closed at odd hours while I run back and forth to visit. It shouldn’t be too bad though since Kate is done exams [...]

It’s been quite some time now since Darrell last told me about their new skin cream, he dropped off some samples for me to try out and it does work well. I have a bit of a dry skin problem, and that stuff seems to work better than other brands I’ve tried. I [...]

Barbara Walters recently did a special on Living to 150 where she interviewed Dr. David Sinclair. Sinclair has been doing human gene research for some time now, particularly the ones to do with aging. He believes that aging is primarily a series of diseases and as such, they can be slowed down or [...]

Everything we buy these days is either made of plastic, packaged in plastic or at least gets put in a plastic bag to carry it home in. So even though recycling is a pain in the butt (here we have to sort one bag of paper products and another of plastics, along with regular [...]

After meeting with the pre-op nurse on Monday, we’ve been trying to reinforce what she told Chloe. Going over it many times what’s going to happen tomorrow. Some parts she seems to be ok with, but I think once the time comes she’s going to freak out or at the least get really [...]
