Years ago DH fell and broke 5 ribs and a vertebra and they kept him in the hospital for FIVE days. He had trouble walking and they were worried his lungs would collapse. Broken ribs are bad enough, but glad that was the cause of your wife's chest pain and not something cardiac.

. . . . . . . .glad that was the cause of your wife's chest pain and not something cardiac.

. . . . . but, but, but shouldn't they have figured that out before she was sent home? Ruptured lungs are no laughing matter. (Not that your wife could laugh with 7 ribs broken either, bobm.) Now, stop with the clown antics trying to make her happy.

7 broken ribs? good grief. While I am sure that you, your wife and family are very glad that they saved her life, couldn't the Dr taken a closer look at her? Surprised they didn't say it was "all in her head". Your poor wife, broken ribs hurt with every breath.

Yesterday a lady friend of my wife from Viet Nam, braught over a BIG pot ( enough for 4 days meals for 2 ) of Ox Tail Soup. Recipe is from her family for generations and is toughted to be VERY HEALTHY. It has some chunks of ox tail and tons of cabbage, kale, celery, carrots, some other vegetables and herbs that she said in Viet Namese that I can't recall. It tasted kind of bland, so my wife added a litte salt, pepper, and some other herbs which improved the taste tremendously with a twist of her wrist. Now, to test how healthy this soup is ... I took my blood sugar test 15 minutes before and 3 hours after the meal. Before the blood sugar was at 112 then 347 - 3 hours after the meal. I felt weak from the sugar high. So much for the healthy meal.

I would think that was really healthy. What could do that? Some seasoning?

I think maybe the oxtail itself, aren't they deemed pretty high in saturated fats and cholesterol?

As for the ox tail ... there are maybe 3 small vertebra from the end of the tail cut in half lenghways in the entire pot of soup. my serving had ONE HALF of one tail vertebra bone that contained at best 2 small bites of meat. So the entire soup has only 6-8 bites of meat. ( we are talking about a recipe from a country were bovine meat is rare indeed ). From past experience when my blood sugar skyrockets the culprits are the vegetables as well as fruit, while meat protein has very little rise in in my blood sugar. The seasoning that my wife added did not raise my blood sugar in the past.

Note the second ingredient, Bob: LINK

If there is a little sausage in the soup, I've noticed that it will be quite sweet, as well.

It doesn't mean she is a pho, trying to sabotage your health. "No MSG. Made in the USA."
