Is Eating Healthy A Privilege?
Not long ago, the food pyramid became a plate. A study shows that this newer, healthier, diet, is more expensive than what most American’s can afford to eat. People like me, who have to stay on a gluten-free diet, quickly learn that these foods are pricey. It has been said that eating the foods that keep your body healthy has become a “privilege”.
The United States has created new nutritional guidelines. What used to be called the food pyramid has recently been transformed into a plate. The idea was to make it easier, by giving a visual example, of how consumers can eat healthier.
Thanks To A Friend
There are some benefits that joining Face Book that you may not think about. When you think of Face Book you think about people reconnecting with old loves and old friends but you don’t think about getting incredible support in your journey through cancer. I have found that cancer has touched a great deal of lives in my old hometown of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. There are many of my former classmates that have battled cancer. It was surprising to me to see all the people that have either battled cancer themselves or a loved one of theirs did.
It was nice to reconnect with old friends and see how their lives had turned out.
To Tattoo Or Not
I am going to tell you all a little secret when my bandages came off after my nipple reconstruction surgery I may have cried a little looking down. No not a bad cry it was a good one. I guess I never realized how much I missed having them. I know it is silly but looking down for a minute they almost looked like the original ones but they still needed some color they are just skin toned now. The doctor said I need to wait 6 months before I can get them tattooed.
Now when he said they would tattoo them I busted out laughing. Did he actually think I am going to go to the local tattoo shop and get the “girls” tattooed? I have been in a tattoo shop before and I never saw any sample pictures of nipples. I can’t even imagine the look at the guys face if I was to walk in and tell him what I needed done. Luckily the plastic surgeon has one of his nurses as a trained tattoo artist. I still had to wait six months before I can consider having it done.
Right now I am happy just to have them I don’t know if I want to go through even more. I am rather tired of getting poked and prodded all the time. I do have a tattoo already and I remember how that felt while I was getting it and the idea to get the girls tattooed isn’t sitting well with me.
I told my husband Chris that if I do get the tattooing maybe I can do a funky color like blue or purple so when I die the coroner would have a good laugh. It would almost look like a smile face because if they were blue they could be the eyes and my bellybutton the nose and the hip to hip scar from the first attempt at reconstruction could be a smiley face. Remember I said I make little jokes to lighten up the mood.
