Subject: RE: BS: tarheel's wife... From: Tannywheeler Date: 08 May 06 - 06:04 PM Special healing ritual: go to grocery store; bring home: 1 chicken 1 celery bunch 1 yellow onion 1 bunch carrots 1 bunch parsley 1 container bay leaves 1 jar whole peppercorns 1 container whole cloves At home: get out big (stovetop compatible)pot, at least gallon-size. Open chicken wrapping, fish around in cavity for innards-bag and remove paper/cellophane/waxpaper stuff around/under/in chicken. Place chicken, neck, gizzard, heart in pot with half cup of cider vinegar or white wine. Break up 2 or 3 celery stems and place in pot. Leave skin on onion, cut it (from neck to root) in 4 roughly equal wedges; press one whole clove into each cut side of onion and place onion quarters in pot. Chunk up 2 carrots in 3 or 4 parts and place carrots in pot. Take 5 or 6 parsley stems, tear leaves into pot, break stems and place in pot. Place 2 whole bay leaves (fresh or whole) in pot. Place half teaspoon peppercorns in pot and about that much salt. Cover all ingredients with good water. Place pot on burner and light. Bring just to a boil, turn down to LOW simmer, cover & let cook for about 1annahaff hrs. Remove pot from heat. Place colander in bowl, remove chicken from pot and place in colander. Put pot back on burner. When chicken has cooled enough, remove skin, debone, putting meat in refrig. container with good lid. Put skin, bones, cartilege, etc. back in pot and let cook another hr annahaff. Turn off and let cool. Pour thru colander into storage container (liquid may be strained thru smaller strainers now). Wipe out pot. Put stock back into pot; if you have them, do more celery, onions, parsley, etc. Bring back to a boil, turn WAY down to simmer, and let reduce to about 2 thirds of orig. amt. of liquid. Strain, put in lidded container(s) for refrig. If serving immed., taste for salt. This is powerful medicine. Taken one warm cup at a time while resting, it can DRASTICALLY increase one's sense of well-being and bodily comfort. It is nap-inducing and peacefulness-enhancing. Always serve with salt shaker so patient can adjust to personal preference. Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: tarheel's wife... From: Amos Date: 07 May 06 - 10:20 PM A serious bout of pneumonia requires a long rebuilding process even after the immediate threat is over. In my later 50's it took me a full year before I felt I really had my energy back after a close call with pneumonia. Make sure the lady takes it easy and doesn't try to jump back in to full swing too quickly, man. A |

Subject: RE: BS: tarheel's wife... From: GUEST,SunnySister Date: 07 May 06 - 12:28 AM Thanks for the update, Tarheel. I will continue to send her my best healing thoughts. I'm so glad she's improving. May it continue to be at the very least a slow but steady improvement. Remind her once she is released to eat yogurt and acidophilus so she can get her flora back to normal after the antibotics. Doctors forget to remind people. I nearly died from it and am on a crusade to make sure people who've already had a tough time of it, like your dear Peggi, don't have it any worse. Please take care of yourself so that you can continue to be there for Peggi :) --SunnySister, the nagger |
Subject: RE: BS: tarheel's wife... From: Rapparee Date: 06 May 06 - 11:47 PM I've had pneumonia several times, and a couple times I danged near died. Yes, even with the best antibiotics it's still dangerous. When she does get back home, make sure she takes it very, very easy for a while. (Pneumonia got me out of Phys Ed during my sophomore year of high school. The school wasn't finished for my first year, and I had had foot surgery for my third year for an excuse. For my last year of high school, well, I hadn't been around for PE for the first three, so I wasn't missed. And then, a week after graduation, I went into Basic Training....) |

Subject: RE: BS: tarheel's wife... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 06 May 06 - 10:06 AM Hey, Tar: I know how hard it is when our wife (or husband) is struggling with serious health problems. It's a helpless feeling. But we are not helpless. We'll keep your wife, you and all who love her in prayer. Last Sunday, I sang with a Men's Chorus and the chorus to one of the songs applies here. It got me through some hard times recently: When you're going through a hard time, find hope that there will be a blessing on the other side of "through." On the other side of through There's a blessing waiting for you Hold fast, hold fast, your troubles will not last There's a blessing, yes a blessing On the other side of through Jerry |
