Greetings all
Here it is the end of August and I have had a little gout in my wrist the last couple of days, but not bad enough to stop me form being active.
The work up the canyon is coming to an end and so I'll need to come up with more projects to keep me busy. I called about some volunteer work with "Meals on Wheels" I think that would be a fun thing to do.
Well I better run, sorry for the short entry but I'm having a hard time staying focused.
Stay gout free.

The gout monster raises its ugly head
Greetings
Well here it is Aug 17Th 2010, and I have gout! I felt it starting to come on last night and by morning I was having difficulty walking. I kept moving cause that seems to help and then at around 10:00 AM I took some Colchicine then at around 1:00 PM I took 4 Ibuprofen and by 8:00 PM the pain was just about gone. I'm not sure it'll stay way until morning but for now it OK.
Well that's it for now. I'm still helping my son up the canyon as camp host. We meet a lot of interesting people. I'm not sure what I'll be doing when this ends but I'll have to find something cause I have to be busy.
Have a gout free week, Month and well year.

Another month as camp host, and very little gout!
Here we are in August, where has the summer gone? Before we know it we will be wishing for warmer weather and wondering where all the snow is coming from. Winter has it's pluses though, life slows down a little and we can take some time time to reflect, or in my case wonder how I'm going to pay next months bills. Of course I do that all summer anyway.
My wife and I have been talking about the bills and planning ways to reduce our overhead. We have decided to sell many of our items that we can live without, like our vehicles, the tractor business. We have decided to make our adult children pay for things that they have conveniently neglected to re-reimburse us for, like their auto insurance and certain living expenses. May be if our plan is successful we will be empty nesters - ha ha.
Well since this is a blog about gout I should spend some time talking about that for a while. Over the last several weeks the fight against gout has gone well. I woke up with it in my knee one morning, I didn't take anything for it, but as the day progressed it went away completely. I've also had it in my toes and wrist a little but not so much that I had to stop working. I have had touch of the old arthritis and achey muscles mainly in the morning and if I sit for an extended period of time it's hard to get moving again, I think my diet is causing that.
Well I better run for now. In my next post I am going to post some photos of the camp where my Son and I are hosting.
Good blogging
