My New Slipper Mops, AKA, Dog Drool Socks
they work, I wear them when I am cooking, and it cleans up Beau's drool as I work.
The best thing of all, is I can now stand on one leg and put them on. Before Bob could not walk, I could not stand on one foot and put on a shoe. Now, I can.
I can remove the cap on the pool chemicals, and Pop that silly cardboard thingy.
I can open jars, all the things I used to hand to Bob to open, I now can open them.
Practice builds strength.
I give Bob a banana and a glass of milk when he comes in from the pool. It hurts me because they are my favorite of all fruit, and for the past year I have been unable to eat them, due to IBS.
Suddenly about 10 days ago, I wanted one and when I peeled his I peeled 2 and I just ATE ONE. no cramps, none, nada, no bloating or gas. I have been adding a few other things to my diet, and I am so much better than I was.
40 years ago, on our first trip for Bob to meet my parents in Savannah, Daddy said when we walked in the door, Cille, hide the bananas Sandra's Here. He told bob in 2 days I would eat all HIS bananas. Daddy loved his bananas.
I am thankful today, that my stomach is better, thankful I can eat a banana without pain, thankful for my slippers, I really love them.

Neat footwear. I am so glad to read that your finding some of the silver lining among your clouds! YAM xx
Snazzy footwear! It's good that you seem to be becoming desensitised to bananas. I'm trying a similar approach with eggs.
I wonder what those slippers look like after mopping up Beau’s drool! They look very functional - and they obviously are. Glad to hear that you are doing all these things and I am happy that you were able to get back to a banana without ill effects. In our family Miriam is the banana lover. I will have one once in a while but it’s not my favourite fruit. If I had to choose a single favourite it would be mango. Most nights after dinner we have half an apple each.
What a happy post! I love your "slippers"...very functional and stylish! And bananas! Wow! how neat that you can eat ONE again! I used to love to eat bananas too, but only if they aren't too ripe. Now I do not like them at all. I might eat one on some peanut butter toast, but that's it. It's funny how our taste buds change over the years, and also what affects our systems and what doesn't. I've been eliminating more and more foods lately and it's no fun! Take care my friend. Help is on the way!!
Hello Sandra
It is great you are building strength, doing more things that you couldn't do before. Hubby, Miney and I all love bananas, we share one a day. Take care, enjoy your day!
That's awesome that you have gained strength through all this. Not only physical strength but emotional strength as well.
That's great that you were able to eat the banana without it bothering your IBS. I do remember the Chiquita Banana commercials.
I have those slipper mops too! They work great for dusting baseboards!
Glad you were able to eat a banana without pain.
I do remember those ads!
Yay for Bananas!!!!
Those slipper mops are too cool!
Two big wins in this post....no, actually there are more than two. I love bananas myself and if I eat one, I always want another one. We can do more than we think we can, it's all about the mind and doing what we know we have to do. I do remember that commercial...lol.
I'm so happy you're able to enjoy one of your favorite foods without distress! That's funny about your daddy, "Hide the bananas!".
I've never seen those slipper mops but will check them out ... provided they've something on the bottom that helps prevent falls. If our kitchen tile gets wet, it sometimes feels like an ice skating rink. A hip fracture is the last thing we need!
OMDs I love the chiquita commerical what a fun memory you gave me. I love you multipurpose mop shoes. Sending lots of prayers for a great success for Bob

Bananas are my favourite fruit too, I normally eat at least one per day! I do keep mine in the fridge, though (unless they're really green when I buy them, then I leave them out for a while first). I recently also learned from somewhere that if you take the bananas apart before putting them in the fridge, they keep all the longer (i.e. ripen slower).
That is wonderful that you are able to add a few things to your diet...and for one of them to be one of your favorite foods is a bonus. Yes, we can gain strength....
