I tend to delay eating bananas which my mother gives me from time to time especially if I know that it is just fully ripe but not too ripe. What I meant was I want fruits to be overripened because I find them quite sweeter and more fragrant. This is true for mangoes, pineapples, and bananas. However, I am careful to not to delay eating them later to prevent rot which means that the inside of the fruit already turned into a mush.
It is what happened to this hefty piece of banana but it is just starting to extra overripened because about twenty percent inside it starting from its tips is already getting mushy plus the peel had gotten too thin that I was careful to not break it while peeling the rind which in this case is bruising already. Regardless I had a good experience in devouring it because the overripening made it sweeter. This variant of banana is not I prefer to eat because it is quite have a note of sourness to it unlike other varieties which gets fragrant and too sweet when overripe.
So what's the other story?
Well, I am thanking God that my hand is not showing pallor anymore, it is somewhat pink in color which I still happen to still appreciate because I had spent so many years looking at them being so pallid and anemic because of... anemia brought about by my years of worsening Kidney condition and more a decade in anemic state. It is only after more than two decades of being a dialysis patient that my body/bone marrow had produced red blood cells on its own without blood transfusions and EPO hormone injections. Because of that miracle from God, my sleep improved although I still suffer from intermittent waking-up all throughout the night of sleep and then the improvement of my appetite although it is still poor compared to the appetite of normal people but I am taking it and being so grateful still about it.
Another thing about this photo is that how emaciated my hand is, meaning that I my entire body is emaciated. It is a long time issue about my weight and I had tried multiple times to gain weight in the past but it is of no use. I tried those drinks used by muscle builders but it just made me sick because one thing is that the formulation from those prepared drink powder is bad for my phosphorus levels, it will do me more harm than good regardless that it will cause me to gain weight.
I am also afraid of developing diabetes and heart diseases because of the high calories that those protein powder drinks contains considering that also I needed to lessen my protein intake or consumption because otherwise my creatinine levels would also get elevated and definitely I do not want that to happen because creatinine is a toxic substance created by protein processing of the body and high elevations of it will make the patient suffer from the "crazies" and get sick until they succumb to death if the elevation is not corrected.
Lastly in the picture, you can see the color of my fingernails, not that I haven't trimmed them yet, but the upper part of my fingernails is lacking on that white part which you can see if you look at your own fingernails. I never was able t achieve the normal color because it seems that if a person has a failed set of Kidneys, their finger nail color (the flesh below the fingernail) will always be one color only may it be pink, slightly pink, or pallid.
Then the fingernail also has vertical ridges too, I do not have any idea nor information to say the cause of it but it might be caused by low oxygen content of the blood or it could be the action of continuous bone loss or simply the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in the body and a sign of weak bones compared to normal people. So it is one factor to determine if a person is a dialysis patient or not, look at their fingernails!
Then there's the length of my thumb, it is short. I use to have a normal-looking thumb length but because I suffered a bone density degeneration along with my backbone which also got crooked in the process, it also showed on how the bone in my thumb to look on what it is right now, shortened like the individual vertebra of my backbone had all been receded and shortened through the past years.

Sorry sir .. about what you are passing through but I’m glad that gradually you have started responding to treatment.. that’s a sign of better things to come.
I don’t know if you believe in prayers, I would have liked you to join an early morning prayer that holds every day online in Nigeria. There’s nothing to loose. (If you’re interested, you can let me know and I will send the link).
I read your blog a week ago and you told me a drug that you have been taking, that has helped your bones and joint. Well, I’ve been all out looking for the drug for my dad, it hasn’t really been easy but I’ve hope because a doctor have told me to hold on , that he may be able to get it. So, my fingers are crossed!!

I am thankful about the recent positive changes or improvements in my body thanks be to God in making me see the and apply to myself the best and natural ways of making the quality of my life much better compared to just a few years ago where I can't even walk to the bathroom even with support of walker, a cane, or chair.
I am a religious person, I am a member of MCGI.org and I invite you into the church of God international because in our church we are taught the real teachings of God and take into action so that the glory of God can be shown to other people and how it truly works so that more could will get enlightened. And ye I do pray everyday, in-fact my prayers are heard by God as you can see.
The "drug" that you are referring to is not a drug but a vitamin, it is another type of vitamin K which is vitamin K2 MK-7 to be specific. Together with the intake of Calcium, vitamin D3, and magnesium will repair if not enhance the bone strength in a short amount of time. It worked for me and I am more than sure that it wil work for everyone and I truly recommend people in taking this vitamin in consideration because it just strengthen the bones.
I am glad that your father's doctor is hearing your inquiry about vitamin K2 MK-7 and I think that he is a good doctor is he was because most doctors will either just laugh at you or ignore you about it or maybe even prohibit you in using it because it is not a drug nor a medicine but a "not so simple vitamin" because it worked for me like a miracle drug which greatly improved my quality of life.
That is why I am advocating its use for people on all walks of life but excluding those that take medicines that might an adverse effect with the important medicines which they are currently using for their specific body aliments. Both of my parents are also taking Vitamin K2 MK-7 and because of that I know that their bones will be in a much better shape compared to people in their age group or other normal people for that matter.
Best regards to you and your father's health and your family. 😀🧡🙏

I’m really happy to hear this and by the grace of God, your health will be restored back.
Ok… if you are on drugs, you will have to wait, till you are done with the drugs before you start taking the vitamins??

I wonder about your diet but also how many times per week you have dialysis.
If it comes to your thumb it doesn't look shorter and I wonder if it is still flexible since you mentioned the K7 helps.
If it comes to the nail I don't have the halve-moons either except for small ones on my thumbs and index fingers. If the info I read is true it's nothing really to worry about because even if we don't see it, it can still be present (it's air).
Big ones should stand for high blood pressure and none for low blood pressure and if it comes to blood pressure (no matter high or low) of course (how else can it be) it can always be a sign of heart disease (just like gardening and drinking tea if I may believe the English news).
If I look at my hand/fingers today I must say that they look better and more straight than they ever did during my childhood, The same for my nails they are way stronger and look better than ever before. Perhaps they were damaged due to the hard work, stress and medication?
I hope your health will increase and although you might not notice it daily I do believe you will see a difference in 4-6 months. I wonder if you make notes and save the photos to compare.
How is the weather? Do you have a bit of dry place? I hope you have at least one room which isn't too humid and you all can stay warm.
It's getting cold here and it keeps raining. Outside looks like one big mud bath. It's hard to believe I could sit outside and enjoy the sun not even one week ago.
All the best to you.
P.s the banana you have we don't have overhere. Only 2 or 3 species and two look basically the same and one is hard to get in an average store (bake banana so I use the normal ones).

Greetings friend, is very important to watch our diet especially when our health isn't very strong. Though based on what am seeing, there are improvements in your body system as you just said your hand isn't showing pallor, I believe you will keep on getting better as long as you still pray daily and also eat the right meals.
Your thumb in really long, I was surprised when I noticed it for the first time in the picture, truly you have emaciated and I hope things don't get worst.
Things doesn't look easy for you this period but remember to always be happy and do more of things that keeps you happy. I believe you have close friends, they make life more beautiful for us when they are genuine people. Which country do you reside in?
