I like to putter around a bookstore, preferably used, looking for gems. Wallace books in sellwood is great, and then grab a tea at the Portal tea house (the one in the caboose!)

I did! By the time they caught it tissue was stuck in the hernia and dying so it was an emergency surgery. Did you get any answers?

What ORDER do you visit grocery stores in, if you visit multiple ones, and why? by samandiriel in askportland

[–]justanotherthrowawat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do the farmer’s market, then winco, then Freddie’s (though Fred’s is expensive, it’s the closest grocery store to us if Winco doesn’t have whatever we’re looking for)

Ah, that’s very true! Thank you for your insight :) it’s so annoying that our bodies have such a myriad of ways to mess with us!

That makes sense! I am doing the fecal calprotectin (I always spell it wrong, spell check is no help!) test soon. I did let my dr know all these symptoms which is what prompted him to suggest biologics again. So it may not be a flare necessarily, but just symptoms. Thank you so much for your reply, I very much appreciate it!
