    What will you do in heaven?

    I wasn't too sure where to post this, but figured this might work.

    I was thinking about this recently after a discussion in a group I lead at church for people with chronic health issues. The question came up of what we'll do in heaven that we can't do now because of our health.

    Here is part of my list (notice a lot is food related - could be why I need to go on a diet... I'm also going on the fact that calories and fat won't count in heaven!) :

    Drink cherry Coke (the fountain kind made with cherry syrup)

    Eat BBQ (especially McDonald's McRibs with extra sauce - oh, man! So good!)

    Drink orange pineapple juice

    Have some orange juice and pretzel rods

    Eat grapes

    Have a salad with plenty of poppyseed salad dressing

    Go on a trip without worrying about a flare or having to pack extra stuff like the heating pad and Pyridium

    Have a Pizza King pizza (local) with extra cheese, BBQ sauce and hamburger; or Hawaiian pizza with BBQ sauce and extra cheese (shoot, it's heaven - I'll have both with my cherry Coke!)

    Have a Coke icee

    Take my dog on a walk regularly without having days I just can't

    Spend quality time with my husband whenever I want - not just when my bladder allows

    And, finally, I will not be afraid to try new dishes, worrying about whether they will make me flare

        We can definitely add the ribs! Making my mouth water...

        Oh, I forgot. I will also have condiments out the wazoo! Mayo on my hamburgers, a pickleloaf sandwich with mayo (those used to be so good for lunch!), tons of ketchup on fries, etc.

        (OK, obviously I am a bit hungry this morning...)

                Mmmm...all this talk of food is making my mouth water.

                I would kill to be able to eat chocolate. Like those 30lb chocolate bunnies they sell around easter time. And BBQ--like ribs, and chicken, burgers and hot dogs slathered in sweet or spicy BBQ sauce.

                I think I may just have to sacrifice my bladder and go on a one day BBQ spree over the summer.

                Medical "Issues":
                IC
                GERD
                Tachycardia(resting rate is 125-130 )
                Medicastions:
                Tramadol-as needed (IC)-50mg
                Elmiron 200mg twice a day

                      I could definetly go for the chocolate and the chips and salsa!!!! And spaghetti, I really miss that, my favorite food, but even to look at it now sends me into a whopping flare.
                      Plus, I'd do all the things that IC holds me back from. Travel all over the world without having to worry about how to say "restroom" in a foreign language LOL!!!

                        Wow, I would not know where to start I am so denied right now when it comes to my diet because of the IC and also because of my tummy issues that my diet is so bland. I think I would have to eat a ton of chocolate ( I of course go for dessert first ) then I would love to eat a big slice of pizza with everything on it. Wow, my list can go on and on.... Just thinking about it makes me hungry. Geez, I want to go to heaven right now if this is what would happen Well, I can at least dream....

                            Sounds like we'll be feasting for sure! We'll have to look each other up when we get there!

                            I sometimes "cheat" for stuff, too. On my birthday earlier this month, I got the hamburger and BBQ pizza. I took a ton of Prelief and hoped for the best. It bothered me a little bit, but it was worth it. I literally got teary about it. My husband was like, "Are your contacts bothering you?" And I replied, "No, it's just that good." I love food!
