@Jennifer Indeed, if you can recover, he can as well...at least to the degree allowable by age, circumstances, etc. The mind and the spirit definitely need support along with the physical. That's good how you've turned your dad around, and how you keep each other honest. I tend to be the voice of reason for my dad as well. Though, I'd say my dad is more stubborn than yours. Two naps a day is great. I've told my dad sleep is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your body. He does nap during the day, but only because he hardly sleeps at night. So, I don't count those as naps, but as necessary sleep.
Interesting about the switch to TyroMax, for your dad. I've mentioned thyroid to my dad several times. If I wasn't so sensitive to supplements, I'd suggest to him that I'd try it first. So the T3-T4 ratio, between the two supps, must've been the difference for your dad.
Yes, if we do our best, we've done our part. Part of that I think is letting go, each day. We can't be indebted to the past and that which we didn't do, but work in the day that we have and that which we can do. That verb you talk about.
Yes, milk bread is big in Japan...but isn't everything, haha. They tend to love fluffy and cute. So, it makes sense they do that to their bread. Brioche is very good. And from my very little knowledge, I'd say maybe a distant relative to milk bread. I've yet to make it homemade, but it's on my list for French toast.
I've yet to try the potato meatloaf, but I hope to soon. I made broccoli cheese soup today, and it is really hearty and good. I realize talking about anti-thyroid broccoli on a Peat inspired forum is close to incurring anathema, but there is plenty of cream, milk, and cheese in the soup to counter it.
I did make pro-Peat beef liver pate this week. It's not bad. I'm not a huge fan of liver, so it adds some flavor to it.
