Hi everyone. I am back, but still working on getting better. Had double vision for a long time due to my diabetes so, it I could not spend time reading and posting.
This has really kicked my toss.
Between being sick, diabetes, heart condition, I have been sleeping like Rip Van Winkle!
I am trying to avoid going on insulin by using medication and diet, but my sugar levels keep going sky high.
I believe there was someone here who said they have lived with this for a long time. If you are still out here I would like to talk with you.
Anyway, when I get sick my blood sugar goes way up and when my blood sugar goes way up I get sick. This is the circle I have been going through the past few weeks. I have been in and out of the V.A. Hospital and have never felt more sick in my whole life. It is affecting my heart and I have been so tired. They say I have a heart condition and that it can be reconditioned or is at a stage where I can reverse it but, it is hard to do things because I tire fast. I have to have supervision when exercising or doing my yard work etc... because of my heart incase something happens so when nobody is here I cannot do what I need to do. I am allowed to go to the V.A. and work out there now that I can drive.
I am so frustrated trying to get better and my body is not co-operating.
The meds I am on make food sound sickening so it is hard to eat the meals and food I need to eat as often as I need to.
We rescued another little puppy of 8 months. He is so little. He is a Min. Pin.
That makes six little wee dogs. He feels right at home here and is in love with Suesanne our little chuauaua/yorkie mix. They look more like guinea pigs to me. And they love to play with the ferret who loves to play with them. They will all be getting a bath on Thusrday little do they know. Our ferret loves to be in the water and sometimes takes his own bath in his water bowl and slicks his hair down on his head with his paws.
Ok, I will get going here so I can get up to date with the board posts. Please bear with me as I am so behind.
Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of me. I have missed you all and it is good to be back!!

(((((Lee and ~S~)))))
Please get those check ups sooner than later. I put it off for to long and things just got worse.
I know it is expensive but it is more so if you let it go and things get even worse.
I hope you will both be in good health.
Yes, we are a bit frustrated with our health problems. We do have funny moments too, like when she brings our pills and water to the table and we see what we will be like30 - 40 years from now.
My parents have been helping us out some so that has been very nice.
Sheila is a bad patient and insists on doing the care taking and nursing of both of us. I do my best to take good care of her.
Everyone is so sure and worried that I will have a heart attack that it is hard for me to make them realize that I have to get some exercise or I will not get better.
I need to catch up with the board so I know what everyone has been up to.
Right now I need to go back to bed.
I have missed you Lee.
