Medical Mediums Berry Challenge

 I  follow Medical Medium Anthony William via email and Instagram. I find his work interesting in that while he is a medium who recieves messages about health and healing, he also has backed it with scientific research so you won't hear about eating something because of some mystical reason (though it is there) but how it relates to the human body.

At any rate, if you follow him you will know that he has declared the month of July to be the Berry Month Challenge. He has giveaways for those who want to get involved with posting on Instagram (at the moment I am refraining) and he will offer recipes.

The above smoothy is from his blog-I only replaced the dates with a tsp of honey since I had no dates. I love the addition of lemon in this one since I am aiming to work my way up to eating two a day. Yes, sounds crazy but my sisters fiance who had Stage 1 colon cancer is on a mega superfoods diet and has coached me about certain things that I have not bothered with.

As for the homefront.....

Garry is doing okay physically but he contracted a virus that I cannot be exposed to and therefor I have not seen him in a couple of weeks. While we talk on the phone daily, he seems to be loosing his oomph. I think that this is because he is so used to me doing the fighting for him since he could not do so for himself for so long , that he is at a loss. Our daughter remains at his side and is doing a marvelous job but she isn't me-his wife. He appreciates her of course, as do I.

We are having a psych evaluation tomorrow to see if there is anything for this depression that seems to be taking hold of him. He certainly has been through alot and this surgery was lifesaving but also life changing. Its a tough one to cope with if you ignore your inner world like he tends to do.

He has an uphill battle ahead because he is also refusing to eat solid foods. While he is in good hands, some of this is really up to him. Even I could not fight it.

As for me, I am actually glad to be home. I have been exhausted and in alot of pain though that seems to be coming under control. The stress of the last few months nearly did me in. Of course, in order to not burden him, I have not expressed this. The virus he contracted did it for me.

At any rate....I am plodding along.  I hope that by having some time now to take care of myself I can begin to see some improvements. Berries it will be.
