Jim's Battle With The Foot

After the last big snow storm, Jim started having a lot of problems with his left foot. We both thought that with all he was doing with the snow and helping neighbors shovel out cars and all that maybe he had a stress fracture in his foot. He went to the doctor and after X-rays and blood test we found out that he has gout. So, once again he has been told to change his diet. We have been working on this already with the cholesterol problem, but he still cheats. I kind of got mad when he told the doctor that he has red meat all the time. I asked what was he talking about. We were down to once or twice a week. I had to go thru the last couple of days to make him see. Basically, the doctor told him to cut out the snacking (not under my control) and watch what he ate, continue to soak it. Hey Dr. Mike, any other suggestions???
