Bromelain, an enzyme in pineapple concentrated in the core, not only helps to digest proteins but also is an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic, especially effective in the sinuses and other soft tissues like the lungs. I used to chew on bromelain tablets in an effort to reduce inflammation in my sinuses. I finally had to resort to sinus surgery several years ago to remove eight polyps after oral and topical prescription steroids did nothing to alleviate my medical issue. All eight of my sinuses were also cleaned and expanded. I still occasionally use a corticosteroid nasal spray to prevent polyp recurrence.
June 27, 2025, at homeTo be honest, I think that I may have a mild version of PTSD that seems to be fading. Between March 2022 and April 2024, I had six surgeries: 1 heart, 2 chest, 2 spine, and 1 right ankle. Between the severe pain and the chaos of residing in two hospitals and a physical rehabilitation facility, I was just so majorly frustrated, and physically and mentally tired for so long. While I am still dealing with health issues (Diabetes with Peripheral Neuropathy in both of my feet; Congestive Heart Failure; and Restrictive Lung Disease), I am actually doing much better than I was.

I prefer yellow onions, sautéed. I do not like shallots.
