A glimpse into MY LIFE on a WEDNESDAY late afternoon!
I had received a TEXT that ARI was coming to San Francisco and could he stop by to say Hello?
Of course, that would be TERRIFIC.
No photo SHOOT as it would be late and they had a dinner engagement in the city!
I thought a drink and some nibbles and away they would go to dinner.
Nice of him to think of me and take the time to swing off the freeway!
I open the door and he is filming me!
I don’t think what I said made much sense but NEVER MIND they made it and its NOW OFF HIS INSTAGRAM STORIES!
I was thrilled to see some Los Angeles FOLKS!
Even THE ITALIAN was HOME for a SPLIT second to get drinks and to meet ARI and ERIC for the FIRST TIME!
ARI,turned to me and said “PUT A HAT ON!”
Let’s go shoot in the garden before the sun sets!
SO, without further ADO I grabbed a hat and off we went to the chicken coop!
Ruby lets me pick her up as she is THE CHICKEN who crossed the street to my driveway one day and has never left!
I tried to find the owner but no one claimed her………..actually they did but never came for her!
My guess is she was better off with me!
Been thinking recently she should LIVE in THE HOUSE!
How do YOU think THE ITALIAN would feel about THAT?
OR
BANKSY, WINSTON and THEODORE?
We got BANKSY up from his slumber with some CHEERIOS!
SEE VIDEO ON MY INSTAGRAM!
I think CHEERIOS should HIRE ME as I have been ONE Of their BEST CUSTOMERS since the 1960’s!
Did you know CHEERIO’S have ALWAYS been GLUTEN FREE?
No wonder as a child I loved eating them DAY or NIGHT!
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT YELLOW BOX and NOW they come in HEART SHAPE!!!
I HAD HEART SURGERY TEN YEARS AGO IN SEPTEMBER.
SO, IT’S a PERSONAL THING FOR ME!
GARDEN GLORY is ALL STARTING TO HAPPEN……………….
THE LIGHT was PHENOMENAL this DAY!
I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME OVER MY HEALTH!
I THINK I FINALLY HAVE MY A-TEAM due to MY READERS!
YOUR COMMENTS AND EMAILS HAVE BEEN FULL OF KNOWLEDGE AND GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS.
I NOW HAVE A NEW CHIROPRACTOR………..he is VERY HANDSOME and looks to be about 20 years old!
HE is 40.I ASKED!With Three kids!
HE SPENT AN HOUR AND 20 minutes with me the first day and ACTUALLY TOOK X-RAYS!!!
MY ATLAS was OUT of WHACK.
Whats an ATLAS?
Holds YOUR HEAD ON YOUR NECK AND ALLOWS YOU TO NOD YOUR HEAD!
THE GOOD NEWS is that space between my VERTEBRAE look like a 20 year olds!!!
I’ll be 60 in JULY!
I NEEDED SOME GOOD NEWS!
THANK YOU PILATES REFORMER and ALMOND MILK!
The Chiropractor is manipulating the ATLAS by HAND to reset it.
I have been to his office now three times and each time I leave; I feel BETTER!
NO IT DOES NOT HURT!
I also am seeing a CRANIOSACRAL THERAPIST once a week for FIVE WEEKS.
WHAT IS THAT YOU ASK?
Craniosacral therapy is an alternative treatment typically used by osteopaths, chiropractors, and massage therapists. It claims to use a gentle touch to manipulate the joints in the cranium or skull, parts of the pelvis, and the spine to treat disease.
WHY did I go this route………..because YOU DIRECTED ME AND I TRUST ALL OF YOU!
I mentioned FLOWER who had seen a woman who had EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING!
SHE FIXED HER with her NERVE RELEASE REPAIR DROPS and CRANIOSACRAL MASSAGE.
Through REIKI, FLOWER discovered a pinch nerve in her neck…………
HOW you might want to know?
Through the HEAT that RADIATED from her neck!
SO, my FIRST CRANIOSACRAL session he could tell I had neck issues from placing his hands under my leg and back!When he got to my neck with his hands (they work their way up the BODY!)I had to say SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEAT THAT WAS RADIATING OUT OF THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK!
I got off THAT TABLE feeling GOOD!THE NEXT DAY I EVEN FELT BETTER THAN GOOD!
I FELT THE BEST I HAVE FELT IN YEARS!!THAT feeling lasted one day…….a TUESDAY.DAYS in between were NOT as good in fact; I felt like a truck had hit me but FRIDAY I was GOOD AGAIN!
FLOWERS potion arrived the same day I started CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY.
THAT was FEBRUARY 24, 2020.
I should back up and tell YOU the day I POSTED THE BLOG ON MY HEALTH AND A FACE CREAM I had an EPISODE RIGHT BEFORE PUBLISHING!IT lasted NINE MINUTES so the GRAND theory that the SEIZURE MEDICATION WAS WORKING FLEW OUT THE DOOR!
I WAS BEYOND BUMMED.
However, I have HOPE ONCE AGAIN………. since starting with my A-TEAM.
FLOWER has extended her offer to MY READERS until MARCH 15th,2020 for a DISCOUNT on her BEAUTY products since some of you have requested.YOU will put GODDESS in at check out on her website to get the DISCOUNT
SHE ALSO will HELP you through PHONE CALLS and EMAILS.
MY TWO OUNCE NERVE REPAIR TINCTURE was $23.00.
Her mailing costs are $8.50.Priority MAIL.

THANK YOU for all YOUR INFORMATION and comments regarding suggestions.I have followed up on each one and will continue to do so UNTIL WE NAIL THIS THING!
I will let YOU DO THE MATH!
HOW MANY DAYS HAS CONTESSA BEEN EPISODE FREE?
If you purchased PRODUCT from FLOWER leave US a COMMENT here on the BLOG and tell us your thoughts about it!I know many of YOU made a purchase and have not been using a long time but it might HELP OTHERS to HELP FLOWER BOOST HER BUSINESS.Which would be an INCREDIBLY NICE THING TO DO since she is giving YOUR BELOVED CONTESSA ADVISE AND HERBS TO HELP HER RECOVER BACK TO HER NORMAL ENTHUSIASTIC SELF!!AFTER FOUR YEARS of doctors NOT HELPING ME I am FOREVER GRATEFUL TO VALERIE in New York who steered me in HER DIRECTION!
YOU CAN LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.
THANK YOU THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AND ESPECIALLY JULIET,JOSH,and FLOWER!
So glad that you haven’t had an episode in awhile, Contessa. Love the pics! There is nothing better than a handsome doctor to get you back to good health. I hope that when he mentioned your “atlas” you told the young man to stop flirting with you! Stay healthy, Contessa!
Hello Contessa, I am so glad to hear the good health report, and am keeping my fingers crossed that the solution now is permanent! Your photos are so vivid–always a ray of sunshine. Here, either it is gloomy or if the sun is out it is so bright you need to run away from it!
–Jim

WE WILL ALL DO A LITTLE DANCE in A FEW WEEKS!

What wonderful things have happened for you since your last blog! So happy that you’re finding answers and solutions! Alternative medicine was a Godsend for me back in the 2000s and changed my life. Feeling good after feeling awful for so long is the BEST, no?
LOVE Ari and his books…I had the privilege of meeting him at Chateau Bel Age last year. Lucky you to have him dropping by! Hope to see you in the pages of his next (hope he’s doing a “next”) book!
I hope you soak in the love and healing wishes from arond the world. You have made friends through your blog, and we care for you, so, SO much. Continued progress and warm hugs! <3
Dearest Contessa… this news, going on day ~16 w/o an episode is just the BEST news… I feel like holding my breath until you reach 1.5 months : ) A word I love, but do not (sadly) have cause to use very often is intrepid. YOU are the definition. The spur-of-the-moment photos are wonderful…and the answer to why did the chicken cross the road is –of course–to live happily ever after with the Contessa. Lucky, lucky Ruby!!!! (Rooting for Ruby to join the gang inside the casa–another blog I follow is a woman with a large flock/hen house and she lets a few of her girls roam/roost in the house… her hen house was the inspiration for the chapter ‘Cooped Up’ in Fantastic Tails : )
Now, I must segue to Flower… I am OVER THE MOON with the face cream and goat milk soaps, so is my daughter (she will be contacting Flower with some other questions soon). Even my husband wanted to try the soap and loves it : ) I am SO grateful to have been introduced to her and will share with others… she is a GEM!!
SO THRILLED YOU TRIED HER PRODUCTS!
What is the name of the BLOG that inspired and made a chapter INTO YOUR BOOK THE FANTASTIC TAILS!??Perhaps, I NEED TO FOLLOW!
My chickens and rooster use to ROAM FREE in the GARDEN and HOUSE.THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TIME!THE BOYS were small………..and would do HOMEWORK holding their roosters!!MUST FIND A PHOTO OF THAT!
ON COURSE…….steady as she goes………AYYYY CAPTAIN!!!
XOXO
I follow your blog daily. It is such a joy…thank you. I am so happy to learn you are currently going along almost symptom-free. Fingers and toes crossed that this continues. If not, Cedars-Sinai Hospital may be somewhere to look for help.
Thank you for your introduction to Flower. I purchased soap and moisturizing cream and have been using them for just over a week. I am now awaiting miracles!
If you ever come in this direction, I hope you will let me know. It would be a pleasure to meet you.
I’m so happy to hear that you’re feeling better, CONTESSA! Having fewer episodes and new treatments with the handsome chiropractor. Also, how wonderful to have a visit with Ari and his husband. The photos are adorable! Banksy is such a hoot. What a sweetie. I also love Cheerios and fed them to my babies. They covered my kitchen floor for about four years.
AND CONTINUE to COVER MY KITCHEN FLOOR but NOT FOR LONG WITH MISTER B PICKING THEM UP!
THANK YOU!!
TODAY is DAY 17 NO EPISODES!
MY EXCITEMENT IS GURGLING!!!!!!

Godspeed, God bless, and thank you for Flower, and sharing medical travails.
Before the liver cancer, prostate cancer, Beloved was passing out, flat, poof, to the ground. Several emergency room visits for those injuries…falling. Many doctors later, electrical to bottom part of his heart would stop. Pacemaker fixed it.
Keep your sharing, it is bringing you your healing. It’s where we are with healthcare.
Someone paid a lawyer to tell me what I could write on my blog. Told them to leave me alone or sue. I write about plants & garden design and attracted a ghoul? Love your garden, chicks, pig, family. Detest your health issues.
Off topic.
Have decided I want my first CAFTAN. Crazy. New as a little girl in 1960’s, till now, CAFTANS for loony women. Taking a bow, finally became a loony woman.
5’4″, pale skin/hair. I want to start with a classic, ready for daily, luncheon, jobsite visits, out to dinner, and of course, into chicken coop. What brand, what color? Love plain, love classic. We’re stupid hot & humid during long horrid summers.
Please contact CARLA CHRISTOPH I did an AGELESS STYLE POST on HER A FEW MONTHS BACK.I will send you the link this afternoon in an email.She is also on Instagram so type her name in.SHE LIVES IN TEXAS and makes them to fit your body.
YOU MADE ME SMILE………… with the word LOONY.
MY MOTHER had a FRIEND named BLAKE CORALLIS.She was always in a CAFTAN with hair pulled back in a ponytail.ALWAYS a FLOWER Or BABBLE tucked in from MEXICO!WHAT we thought were LOONEY WOMEN back then were WOMEN WITH JOY!She was LOUD and FUN and ALWAYS LAUGHING!
AS for BELOVED!!!!!!!
GOSH TARA YOU kept that under wraps!!!
YES, The electrical part of my HEART has always been a theory for me!BUT HEART DOCTOR SAYS MY HEART IS FINE!
WE ALL GET THE GHOULS NOW AND THEN…………I WILL WRITE LATER TODAY!!
XOXO
So thrilled to hear your health is improving and that the suggestions of fans have helped you find new solutions! Yay! Very interesting to hear the details of what you’re trying. Funny about the Cheerios…. btw, I’ve never been a fan of them. I prefer more fibre… 🙂 But they’re perfect for you!
So wonderful that Ari visited you again! He’s such a character!
Wishing you continuing improving health…. and lots of love! See you in May!
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VISIT KAREN!
THANK YOU!
ITS ABOUT TIME THINGS CHANGE!!!!
LETS HOPE! TODAY IS DAY 15 I think NO EPISODES.I want to be FREE a month and a HALF before I JETE AcROSS THE GARDEN DOWN THE ROAD TO SAFEWAY!MORE ENERGY and not be AFRAID to turn my HEAD!
XX
Well I’m thrilled that you’re doing so well. You just got your team all together. Bravo to you all. Seems perfect that your dealing with Flowers and an Atlas. Just keep going.
Hoping you finish 30 days EPISODE FREE….what a celebration that would be! Dancing Chicks in every corner of the garden.
My Cali/Irish Blessing: May the flowers bloom over your head and may the rains sweeten your garden. May your path be filled with intoxicating fragrances and its blossom faced bounty bow before you.” May you be Episode free!!!!!
You certainly look blooming gorgeous! Your garden is glorious and crowned with blossoms and you are the Flower Queen!
Spectacular news … praying the next couple of weeks are episode free and you can live without fear of another in the future. Can’t wait to give you a hug tomorrow!!!
Mary Ann
Dear Elizabeth,
If in some way I -along with so many others- have helped you to find The Yellow Brick Road then it is DEFINITELY time to do the Happy Dance! 🙂
NOT YET………………..I have to be EPISODE FREE FOR ONE MONTH TO DO HAPPY DANCE!!!
15 more DAYS TO GO………yesterday I felt the eyes wanted to go but THEY DIDNOT!
NOW THATS INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!
SAW THAT CHIRO yesterday and ALWAYS FEEL BETTER LEAVING HIS OFFICE with a smile on my face!

I am so happy to read that you are feeling better! This is fabulous news, it is very hard to get good medical tests/help these days. I am a firm believer that many ailments we suffer from today are from food, we do not know what is in our food! Too many hormones, and other stuff being fed to animals. In the last 5 years I have had many issues with dairy and gluten. I do know that sugar is bad for you but I am not willing to give that up yet, I just consume it in moderation.
I love the photos!
I am thinking for your birthday perhaps you need to go on a grand tour of the country and have a 60th birthday party on the East coast, the West coast and several places in between!
Have a wonderful day. P.S. I haven’t forgotten about sending your box, its on my list for this week.
Well for me ITS NOT FOOD that I can see…………….have been gluten free for 12 or 14 years NOW.NO DIARY AND NO YEAST for over 10 months.EPISODES were coming faster and MORE OFTEN during JANUARY and FEBRUARY.
My doctors will not do a FOOD TEST ON ME!
I hear what YOUR saying but even before this food elimination I had eliminated the NIGHT SHADES for MONTHS.
YES, SUGAR is a TREAT and recently that TRADER JOES SALT WATER TAFFY is calling to me!
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR BOX!!!!
XX
PUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER INSIDE!!!!
XX
Hello, its me again. I did not mean to suggest that your episodes were from food. I was just commenting that I think food is a major irritant for many, myself included.
I will include my number and a treat, it will be gluten free but it will have sugar I can guarantee that.
I am so happy you are feeling better!! I love the photos!! What do you have planned for the big day in July? We are TRYING to plan the husband’s big day in May, but our Michelin star chef in Modena books out years in advance!!! I would do better with Thomas Keller in your neighborhood!! With all that is going on, we have canceled all travel plans. So here I am in Umbria profunde, and living vicariously, thru you. And quite well, I must say, as you have a vivacious life!! XXo
YOU POOR THING!SOON they will shut down ESSELUNGA!!!!!!!I HOPE NOT FOR YOUR SAKE!
I have NO PLANS ………….have not felt well enough to even HOST that IDEA!
I have a feeling it will be a small gathering.OR JUST ME AND THE ITALIAN!
BUT I WILL NEED A NEW CAFTAN FOR SURE TO CELEBRATE THE DAY!!!!
XX
It’s a sunny day here finally – tho cold. That would have been great fun to have Ari and Eric come by with camera in hand. Great photo of you! Yes the lighting was phenomenal.
Oh my – 4 yrs! Thank goodness you are getting some relief now. Fingers crossed for it to continue. One wonders about drs not pin pointing the cause/solution. The main thing is that they are not saying – it’s all in your head! The blog is so good as you have a community of followers who want you to get some relief and are offering some suggestions.
Decades ago after my first major car accident – yes I did have 4 of them. I had to see the dr from the auto insurance company = the company that fights your insurance claim. Anyway, after my session with him I went back for a follow up with my muscular skeletal specialist. I said to him I think that dr thinks there is NOTHING wrong with me. My specialist looked at me and said – you know you have a problem – your physiotherapist knows you have a problem – and I KNOW you have a problem. The problem with that dr is that he doesn’t know anything! Sure hope you get a dr that KNOWS something soon – puts things together. Tho they may learning a lot now from you re the relief you are getting from the new therapy sessions – tinctures etc.
YOU AND YOUR STORIES ROSEMARIE!!!!
FOUR ACCIDENTS…………???NONE of which were YOUR FAULT I ASSUME?
They haveNOT SAID it YET but asking me WHY I AM THERE is about THE SAME THING as saying its ALL IN YOUR HEAD!
I wish I could turn a light off and it will all GO BYE BYE!
THANK YOU for always emailing and checking in with me!!
XX
This is very welcome news!! And a surprise visit with photos thrown in for us to enjoy! You can see Winston watching you so closely in anticipation of … more excitement? His life is certainly beyond pedestrian in the Casa Contessa!!
Thank you for my phone call the other morning! Mr P asked who I’d been speaking to. Oh, just the famous Contessa in California, I said airily, like it’s an everyday occurrence, hahaha!!
THANK YOU INSTAGRAM CAFTAN SUPPLIER!!!!
I will ALWAYS RECALL THE DAY I FOUND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
PLUS you live in my old STOMPING GROUNDS!!!!
WE MUST MEET ONE DAY!!!
XX
So glad you are feeling better. I continue to be shocked by how the medical establishment has failed you over and over again but am not at all surprised that some alternative approaches seem to be bringing real relief. Through it all you look fabulous and bring your readers life and beauty affirming posts. Brava!
On another note I am so disappointed that my beautiful painting workshop in Tuscany has been cancelled due to the virus. I also feel very badly for the economic losses that Italy and so many other places are facing in light of the outbreak.
ITALY seems to be on complete LOCK DOWN!WE have family there keeping us posted.
I can add to the medical establishment boo boo’s.I wanted an allergy test for food called RAST.They did YEAST ONLY!
The test for chemicals like detergents and household cleaners the DOC said NO she did not see how that would benefit me!NOW that test is through DERMATOLOGY.
This week I do not have the ENERGY to go raise HELL maybe NEXT WEEK or NEVER……………………
Come paint in my backyard!I will serve CAPPUCCINOS and PASTA for lunch!BRING THE GIRLFRIENDS!
XX
I am so glad you’re feeling so much better. It’s always a pleasure to read your news. It must have been a surprise to find yourself being filmed but I am sure you nailed it. Hope you continue to feel better xx
This is such good news!!!
If someone, even Ari, came to my door filming, I would probably fall on the floor in a puddle! I love the bit where you shake the box of cereal for Banksy.
Wishing you everlasting health!
Best blog post ever ! We need you feeling 100%
Thank you for sharing the details … you will help others with this information !
I hear you have a visit with Jennafer Grace coming soon !
Enjoy !
Hope so………I find the MORE I talk about it the MORE information I receive!If others can BENEFIT it is WORTH IT TOO!
YES, She is coming with HER ARMY!!!!!!

Soooo glad you are finally on the road to recovery! Can you start eating normally again? You have gotten so thin! Will give you a call on my way to town…busy day today!!!
I ATE DIARY this past weekend and put VINEGAR on my salad TWO NIGHTs AGO!
I am about READY to TOSS THAT IDEA OUT THE WINDOW!Think its been 10 months NOW no DIARY NO YEAST FOOD ITEMS……..I did introduce diary awhile back and seems COPASETIC (did I spell that word correctly? spell check is no where around with a RED LINE!)but have not eaten to make my ACUPUNCTURIST HAPPY!IT might be time for a GLASS OF WINE!!!!!!!!NO WINE or ALCOHOL for 18 MONTHS!!!!!
I’m even IMPRESSED with what I CAN DO!
LOOK forward to catching UP on the PHONE later today or tomorrow!

THANK YOU SUPER STAR OF TEXAS ON INSTAGRAM!!!
THAT CAFTAN you had on of CARLA’s the other day was MAGNIFICENT!
I need to get better so I get on a AIRPLANE and come meet YOU ALL!!!!!!!
XOXO
So glad to hear you are feeling a little better! It looks like you had so much fun with Ari. After hearing about him from you, I’m so glad I finally got to meet him. No matter how you feel, you look fabulous!
I don’t know if I would be camera-ready if I opened the door to guests!
I am so happy to hear that you have a new approach to address your health issues. Fingers crossed that it continues to go well. Take good care!
When Ari rings the doorbell, he brings such good energy with him! What a creative soul he is. I know you have been investigating everything that comes your way health wise. There has been no stone left unturned. I do believe there are many positive answers to be found in alternative medicine. I am actually going to spend a little time today on Flower’s website to get an idea of what she is doing. You know you have an army of friends here who always send you love and light.
AND YOU HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OFFERING ME GREAT ADVISE…………seems my youngest SON knows ALL ABOUT ALKALINE WATER and tried to get us to put machine in the house years ago!Other SON drinks ONLY ALKALINE WATER from a spring in CARLSBAD????
SMALL WORLD………..glad I’m in the KNOW NOW after FEATURING YOU on AGELESS STYLE LAST POST!
HUGS,
XOXO
You are so elegant on a Wednesday afternoon…! Even with chickens…pigs…and dogs surrounding you!!! Bravo Doctor Contessa…..sounds like you are steps closer to getting to the bottom of things…..stay calm….breath deep…live life elegantly….XOXO M…
I should have mentioned YOU in that LINE UP!!!!
SEE my response to TASTE of FRANCE!!!
Just got that NEWS!
I SO WANT TO FEEL BETTER SO I CAN COME VISIT YOU AND A FEW OTHERS……..MY BUDDY DEBRA is getting two new CORGI’s!!!!DO SCOTTIES like CORGI’s?
THANK YOU for following up with me and CHEERING ME ON!
XOXO
I am so happy for you regarding your treatments. I find the whole thing fascinating about getting realigned! I truly believe that it is the most important thing. Balance, balance, balance! I am glad you are feeling better. We love our Contessa. We have a Street here in Joshua Treat called Contenta Road, but i always call it, “Contessa Road!” After you!
Well, yes, not Joshua Treat! But you being here will make it a treat! I don’t know about the doll designer coming to town! I guess I better look her up! Are you really coming here?
Wonderful news. Our medical system has gotten so out of whack – Drs don’t seem to really care anymore and almost all our drugs have worse side effects than benefits.
Flower is a wonderful and the alignments can only be a good thing.
Praying for ongoing improvement. I want to see a video of you on your next birthday laughing and blowing out candles 60 of them and feeling fantastic.
NOW THATS A PHOTO!!!
60 CANDLES!
I better start thinking about THAT………….it will be here in a JIFFY!
The ITALIAN wanted to take me on a TRIP but I think the trip might be later……SO a COCKTAIL PARTY with CAKE MIGHT BE IN ORDER!
THANK YOU for ALL YOUR CHEERING!
XXXX
Why did the chicken cross the road? To bring joy to the contessa. Thank you for your heath update. Loved the photos! Can’t wait to see photos of your garden come spring. Cheerio!
YOU GET AN “A” ON THIS COMMENT!
I’m going to have to start calling YOU LITTLE CONTESSA IN TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE TO YOU AND THE BOYS ALL OF THEM!
XOXO
You did what newspapers call “burying the lead.” Yes, a home visit from Ari Seth Cohen was enough excitement to fill a post. But your happy health news is the truly important stuff. I am so glad you feel better and am shocked that you have been having so many episodes–you haven’t mentioned anything and you always look radiant here and on Instagram. You’re a trooper who doesn’t let anything stop you from enjoying life. What’s bon vivant in Italian?
I don’t KNOW that ANSWER………….will ASK!!
The last three months I have nearly fallen OFF GRID………….in all honesty!
Just had another set back with my LOVELY MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT!
I asked for the RAST FOOD ALLERGY TEST.AFTER canceling my appointment from their side they had THE ALLERGIST CALL ME!After a discussion of POSITIVE NEGATIVE STUFF which I have NO DESIRE to UNDERSTAND all I want done is a FOOD TEST!I thought I had succeeded in WINNING the battle……..AS THE LAB TOOK TWO BIG TEST TUBES OF MY NEGATIVE O BLOOD!Only to find out more than a week later he had me tested for YEAST ONLY!!!!
I NEARLY HIT THE ROOF AS THEY USE TO SAY HERE IN AMERICA!If my THEODORE didNOT need to be PICKED UP AT VETs after surgery I would have walked into CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE A LOONEY PERSON SCREAMING!!!!!!!!
I was SO MAD.After dealing with this for FOUR YEARS why can’t I have a FOOD TEST!
Never mind the TOUCH test as it is called in ITALY they wouldn’t do AT ALL……….that test goes through DERMATOLOGY called TRUE here I believe.As a theory came up that I might be allergic to something in MY CASA!!!!!!!!!!SOAPS and or detergents!
THE PIG,DOG AND CAT ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I should CALL 60 MINUTES!
BUT what would I wear on that SHOW ?!!!!
THANK YOU for being here…………I need to RANT about it as it ALL just BAFFLES ME!Is it MY AGE?OR my PERSONALITY?Because I married an ITALIAN?
WHO KNOWS…………….BIG HUGS,XX
Wonderful update! Blogs bring bountiful blessings to their writers and readers. Say that three times fast. Flower sounds like a fascinating lady and I’m grateful to her for helping my favorite Contessa. Wishing you a magnificent and episode free March! xo
TONQUE TWISTER FOR SURE!!!
I bet you came up with that AFTER a GLASS OF VINO?!!
YOU MAKE ME SMILE “EPISODE FREE MARCH!”
CAN YOU IMAGINE I WILL BE BOOKING FLIGHTS VIRUS OR NO VIRUS!
THANK YOU for YOUR RECOMMENDATION!!!
XX
Oh I’m very pleased your health is on the way up. Four years is too long to feel unwell. I’d love to try these creams and potions but I live in South Australia. BTW, you haircut is very nice. I’ve just had mine butchered and decided to never go to a hairdresser again
IF you ORDER from her I will happily have FLOWER send to me and I will ship to YOU in AUSTRALIA!
Let me know!!
I get my haircut tomorrow!
Hair here is just pulled back!
XX
Oh I’m so happy for you. I have a new respect for chiropractors. My husband is getting a more painful procedure on his knee, but the wonderful thing is that it’s working. The orthopedist just said ‘oh I can’t help you’, which had left his knee in terrible shape after a knee operation. Thank you for sharing with us as you always perk me up with your blog.???
HELLO JUNE!
GOOD TO HEAR YOUR HUSBAND HAS FOUND SOME RELIEF!
MY CHIROPRACTOR has helped me so MUCH!
DAY 20 NO EPISODES!!!!!!
I’m going to do little JIG DANCE TOMORROW!
