AIP APPROACHING ALL TIME HIGH

With my foot hurting as bad as it is my AIP is approaching an all time high. If it could hurt any worst I don't know how, because it is hurting so bad it is making me walk different which had lead to some other part of my body start hurting. I don't know how much longer I will be able to stand it before I have to go to the DR., it's not going to be much longer.

Health Tip: Stay Safe in the Kitchen
Many a safety hazard or potential foodborne illness has its origin in the kitchen.

Here are suggestions to help keep you safe in the kitchen, courtesy of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension:

* To prevent the spread of bacteria and foodborne illness, keep your kitchen clean. Wash your hands frequently, wash foods before you prepare them, and clean countertops and utensils regularly.
* Be careful lifting and carrying heavy dishes, especially if they're hot. Ask for help carrying items that are large or heavy.
* Don't leave knives and other sharp utensils sitting in dishwater. Someone could easily cut themselves reaching into the water.
* Keep the kitchen floor clear of spills and debris.
* Prevent kitchen fires by keeping all flammable objects away from the stove and oven.

Another Approach
When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach. Sometimes the objective and the means to that objective become so intertwined that it is difficult to imagine one without the other. Yet there are many different ways to reach any particular goal, given enough persistence and creativity.

That's why, for those who are able to consistently get things done, there is no such thing as failure. There are only approaches which have been proven ineffective.

There is a way to achieve whatever you desire, even when you've already fallen short of the mark. There is a way to do it. That way may not be obvious. It may well require some skillful, creative thinking. It's there, though. Learn from each attempt, learn from each approach and you'll surely discover one that works spectacularly.
