I didn't know you had these problems "A", do you a coeliac condition?
I have a couple of friends that do, one of them my best mate and I see his struggle with finding things he likes to eat. I try hard to match what he's eating as I can't stand the thought of eating something he can't have in front of him. I understand about the gluten free bread and how hard it is to get something palatable and how expensive it is as I've followed the problem with Dave.
I guess as we age there is more propensity for health problems. When we were younger these things would probably never have occurred to us, nor would we have realised how fragile our health can be.
However, there is only one way to go and that is forward!
Do you see yourself being able to back of work a bit, anytime soon?
