Still Getting Better

Hello all. Dr Greg here.
What a bout with bronchitis I have had. I want to thank all of you for your get well cards and letters. As Tracy told you in her last post, I have been fighting a cold that turned into bronchitis. I was out of work for nearly two weeks. Now I am on four steroid breathing treatments a day, taking steroids by mouth, using a steroid spray in my nose and on antibiotics. I feel like a walking steroid. Obviously with all of this I have been off the diet and workout regiment. Its funny I have not worked out in two weeks and I can already feel the difference. I have gained 3 pounds so far. I don't like at all. I tried to work out on Friday but coughed so much that I had to stop. I will try again towards the end of next week. Tracy said in her blog that Life is Life and she is right. Real life has challenges, up and downs. I look at it as a war of many battles. We are loosing the current battle but we will win the war. Thanks again for all your well wishes.
Dr Greg

Back to work

Hello everyone! As many of you know, Greg has been quite sick. Since his bought with Cancer a few years ago, he gets sick very easily and takes a long time to get over what ever he gits. He has missed almost two weeks of work. He started off with a cold and gotten worse. He ran a fever of 102+ for the first week. He is now on his second round of antibiotics and steroids. Obviously while he was sick he was off the diet and off exercise. I have been making him chicken soup and nursing him back to health. I too have not been doing so well on the diet while Greg is sick. I have been eating the chicken soup and other things I make for both of us. I am still working out with Phil in the mornings but I have gained a few pounds. I am not happy with that at all. Life is Life, but I need to get back on the wagon while trying to get Greg well. He was just diagnosed with bronchitis today. He is coughing terribly deep. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello get you up to date. I will blog again soon! Be well! Tracy

Happy 4th of July

As the song says Let Freedom Ring - Its' Independence Day. I am proud to be an American and I love this Country. Freedom can mean lots of things to lots of people. For me, I am proud to live in a wonderful country, so free, that today and every day I can do what I want and speak my mind without fear. I can choose to live my life any way I want. But you know, Freedom isn't Free. And today, I thank all those that serve in the United States Military, in my place, keeping Me Free. I thank you for your service. And yes, I want you on that wall, protecting me and my family. Thank You

Tracy here. You know I'm proud to be an American too. I too thank all those around the world for their service. But today, I want to talk about another kind of freedom. You know Greg and I were prisoners of our own bodies. Just 6 months ago we were trapped inside and could not hardly move. I feel we're free now. As we continue to change our lifestyle, we become more free to get up and live again. We were literally eating our self to death. We are now free of that monster, hopefully for a lifetime.

Happy Independence Day & God Bless America
Dr Greg and Tracy
PS... Don't eat too much today.
