Great News!

When I got my annual flu shot today, I had to be weighed. My weight was

218.8 pounds!

This is the lowest it has been in decades! 

The last time was around 1990!



Update the next day. Kathie had an AM of 190 and I had 125. It looks like my evening meds kick in more than 2 hours after I eat.

I feasr she could be going on the needle sooner than me!

If it were not for the massive weight loss, I would already be on the needle myself.

October 2022

 

October 2022

Our MD has us test our blood sugar upon waking and then 2 hours after "fork down" in the evening. This has been going on a long time.

My Heart Surgeon is worried about my blood pressure and is having me take my blood pressure first thing in the morning.

Interesting...

German 'Snipers Code', 1944

Fight Fanatically.
Shoot calm and contemplated; fast shots lead nowhere; concentration on the hit.
Your greatest opponent is the enemy sniper; outsmart him.
Always only fire one shot from your position; if not you will be discovered.
The trench tool prolongs your life.
Practice in distance judging
Become a master in camouflage and terrain usage.
Practice constantly; behind the front and in the homeland, your shooting skills.
Never let go of your sniper rifle.
Survival is ten times camouflage and one time firing.
German Infantryman Operations Manual: The German soldier 1939-45 (all models) (Haynes Manuals) by Simon Forty

For those that are interested in what life was like for a German Sniper, I recommend Sniper on the Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger, Knights Cross.

 September 2022 


 My first family MD told me to test my blood sugar twice a day on two different days. I took his advise of testing first thing in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday and just before eating my evening meal.

My VA Doc changed the second "testing time" to two hours after I finished eating dinner. 

My three family MDs since 2004 and various VA Docs have agreed with this testing plan. Kathie is  type 2 as well and we both are testing on Monday and Thursday.

Quote for banker imo book...

"Sleeping he was, his hands folded peacefully upon his breast. His eyes were open, staring sightlessly up at the massive roof, as if they could see through to the stars beyond. There was a slight smile upon his lips: Death had not come to him as an enemy."

"Beyond the Fall of Night

August 2022 BG MB & KOLB

August 2022 

 My first family MD told me to test my blood sugar twice a day on two different days. I took his advise of testing first thing in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday and just before eating my evening meal.

My VA Doc changed the second "testing time" to two hours after I finished eating dinner. 

My three family MDs since 2004 and various VA Docs have agreed with this testing plan. Kathie is  type 2 as well. She tests Monday and Thursday and I test all week, once upon getting out of bed and two hours after "fork down" in the evening.
