upcoming blood drive

I am scheduled for a double red blood donation on Thursday, 20 September. Since this donation type uses a large needle for a lengthy period, I won't be able to do heavy lifting that evening. I will need help with the upper air.

health status

This has been my week for medical attention.

I had my dilated eye exam Monday of this week and it came out very nicely. Dr. Copeland didn't mention cataracts so I'm happy about that. He did tell me last year that I had the fringes of cataracts. 

He told me my A1C had gone from 6.2 to 6.9. Since I really haven't been eating more, I conclude that not walking the treadmill has harmed me. I basically quit when the asthma began kicking my ass. I am now on a twice daily med, which has apparently put the asthma at bay. I thought about walking this morning but the new and much stronger water pills have me peeing a lot. So, I chickened out. I plan on walking the treadmill tomorrow and once again, plan on starting back on weight lifting this coming Moanday.

We'll see...

annual dilated eye exam

I just had my annual dilated eye exam and everything was fine. Dr. Copeland told me that had I not told him I was diabetic, he would not have been able to tell from my eyes. I was quite happy about this!

Dr. Copeland uses a lot less eye dilation drug than Dr. Tarwater did and has neater ;eye exam toys.

I will be able to drive home by myself next year.
