Life



Woke up feeling 90 years old, as usual, got my coffee going and took my pain meds. Wrote to my son as I waited to feel human again. Stayed busy all day, got alot of exercise, thats the two things that always make me feel better.Ready for work tomorrow. I ate very healthy today, so I'm treating myself to soy ice cream with sugarless choc-
olate syrup (smuckers) tonight, I'm trying to elminate all sugar and fat from my diet, also margarine, even the low saturated fat one. Sitting is uncomfortable but standing too long brings on the neuropathy pain in my feet. I don't like taking the pain meds but omg do they help.Physically I'm a real disaster but I refuse to let it stop me, I still get excited about every new day, I don't know why, maybe I'm just stupid  Good friends help, Going to see my Cardiologist tomorrow, the person I really need to see is a vascular surgeon, maybe heart doc can recommend.Life is still worth living

Hi! No, I got neuropathy from having diabetes for ten years and being undiagnosed. I never used to go see the doctor unless I felt sick, cold, flu, etc. It wasn't until I got a doctor who believed in blood tests and prventive medicine that I learned what horrid shape I was really in. An unhealthy lifestyle, alot of bad genes and family history ya know. It all catches up to us when we reach middle age and beyond. It's never too late to change though and my problems could be worst. Alot of people out there with worst pain than mine. The pics are not mine just favorites, I have no way of uploading my photos to my computer yet. Hope you had a relaxing holiday margy, take care-Darla:)

aheart,

Sounds like you've had a great morning and afternoon. Good for you. What's this about seeing a Cardiologist to see if "Life" is worth living! Of course it's worth living..you had a soy ice cream today didn't you, and made a new friend didn't you? Got plenty of fresh air and exercise and felt good about that. So of course life is worth living! Plus your needed by your friends, and I need you! Love ya

Elsone
