[bout of gout]

I see that if I’m gonna be complimented and quoted, I best start flattering too. Here goes: GoutPal, you are bester than best!

 

…kidding aside (this gout is serious business) appreciate philr and GoutPal’s feedback. GoutPal is correct in picking up that I’m in denial. Reminding this 58 year old man that he’s lost his gout virginity is a good point indeed. No – I don’t want future irreversible crippling joint damage, yet I am secretly hoping for this gout thing to be temporary – like the flu – and once past, to go on my way in life happily without any of you. No insult intended. So here comes a genuine compliment for GoutPal: Thank you for being gentle with me and giving me permission to play around with alternatives (recipe for black bean broth looks edible) before accepting that I’m a lifer.

 

I’ll keep my blood uric acid levels tested to form a baseline.
