Gout? 🤬

Morning to all, 

I have now been fighting Gout! What is it? Oh, the stories I could tell you each 

and every time it rears its ugly head. YEP! Once again, I got the big head and decided 

that I could eat a little more meat than I should have. Not that I am overeating, not 

that at all. It means that I made several different dishes using hamburger meat 

instead of ground pork. I did these meals in a row, so to speak. All it took was me 

having a small "steak" one night, then the next night we had a hamburger dish, 

and I had some of that, then another a few days later. Needless to say, that is all it 

took. My right foot has swollen up and has stayed that way now for over a week. 

No need to see a doctor because they can not do anything for it. I just got too comfy 

eating the red meat that I love. That is all it took. 

Now, for over a week, a very painful, swollen foot. I think it is about to run its 

course. I hope so. Will be a long time before I eat red meat again. I was doing great 

for about 5 years, no problems, but you have to allow me a steak on my birthday 

now and then. It had been so long, though it would not happen any longer, well, I 

guess I proved that wrong. So for the rest of my life, it is red meat only once a 

month, never any more than that. I should then be good to go. 

I know one thing. If I could get my foot high enough to kick me in the butt, I would. 

I was being very reckless and did not even notice it. Got to admit, 5 years is a long 

time, but I just proved it can still happen if you get a little too complacent.

Love and Prayers, 

 Margo
