Ferny ferns

My new garden man started on clearing my jungle today . The rain didn’t help. But he uncovered these ferns, which I love!

Re my kidney issues, the consultant now says I am vitamin D deficient, but the drug he recommended contains lactose and gelatin. Not good for my vegan diet. My GP’s pharmacist told me there was nothing available that was a vegan Vitamin D licenced to be prescribed on the NHS. In my medical notes she wrote “but if there's not an option available, and if she chooses to prioritise a vegan lifestyle over need for medications, possibly at the detriment to her own health, then that is her choice”

I found this extremely unfair!! All the advice for kidney patients is to eat a plant based diet! But now it seems that my vegan lifestyle choice is detrimental to my health!!!!

There ARE vegan vitamin D pills on Amazon but without consultant advice it’s not easy to know if there are other chemicals in them which are harmful to kidneys.
