Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

Hi @Shaz51

I came across a post of yours on another thread and learned that you have diabetes

I am sorry to hear about that - you have enough health problems already and this is one more and it has to be just another thing for you and Mr Shaz and particulary Poor Little Kidney

I'm sorry to learn this - I hope you will be okay - I am sure you will be as you are such a strong lady but still

It's really hard for me to imagine

Sending my best thought to the little family

Dec

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I prefer kale in a veg juice than as a side veg @Former-Member @Shaz51 I blend it in my ninger. Silverbeat is nice steamed though. Definitely better fresh picked than from the shop.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I think with any green veggies the trick is how you cook them. Overcooked is never nice, but it's too often the way people remember them. I'll often chop them up and add them to a casserole or mornay or suchlike for the last few minutes of cooking, or just lightly braise them. The "green" content in tonight's Shepherd's Pie is parsley and chickweed. Chickweed is a surprisingly good "wild green", so instead of pulling it out when weeding the garden, I've been leaving it to grow. Nice mild spinachy flavour cooked, and can also be used like lettuce in salads.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Definitely like my greens slightly crunchy (par cooked) @Smc. Cauliflower the same.
