the first couple of days were the worst for me after the operation it gets better. your not whinning it sucks being in your condition. i lost a battle today i've fought for 14 years. i'm now on insulin because the oral meds weren't getting it done on their own. like you i don't enjoy being in this position, however, it beats the alternative. we're all pulling for you. it'll get better soon

 

Didn't sleep much last night, but dozed off around 10AM and just woke up. Pain has subsided a bit. When they did the surgery, I was strapped to a table that was sort of a tee-shaped affair. The arms would fold up so they were above my head. Apparently they had 'em raised up while I was out. Now my shoulders are killing me. Most of the abdominal pain has eased up. I woke up and fed the birds, watched it pour down rain, and now I'm getting sleepy again.

 

Body needs to recover, grab as much sleep as you can.

 

x2 ^^^^^^^^^^

 

Old people should not sleep in the superman position.
That puzzles me.
I can see out to the side but overhead ???
Glad your ab pain has let up some.

 

Hope you start feeling better soon and that the doc has good news for you!!!

Only thing I can think of, is it gives the docs more room to work on you

evening all

 

Hi Susan

 

evening Jim so sleeeeeeepy

 

It's that time of the day! Time to relax. At least in our time Zone!

 

Ok not trying to toot my own horn here but my decision to redo my old snap on boxes I think was correct. Front is done and the sides and back will get done this weekend. So one set will be done. Then to put new draw liners in it.

Then to start on the other.
Will take a few months but I think its worth it. Doing the drawers SUCKED...

 

I've got 2 boxes....and 2 top boxes. Both Snap On. One is a Rick Mears Indy 500 special edition. Other is Dale Earnhardt Special edition. They stay covered up when I'm not in 'em.

 

yup!!!

Looks good Mike!!

 

I wasn't going to Spend thousands for just mostly storage. These will be full to the brim. I may need to buy another. I have two more out of view.

 

i lost the fight mike i just had to give myself the first insulin shot. i've been fighting for like 10 years to stay off it but the oral meds weren't getting it down enogh

 

Sorry Chris

 

I ve got all the tools stuffed into a top and bottom craftsman. And most of the tools live on my mobile cart for the truck.

Hello Susan

 

thanks susan i was with the dr for a couple of hours this morning and after reviewing my glucose levels even ater he added a 4th oral med they were still too high. he said he could try tweeking this or that but didn't think would make much difference. we concluded this was the best avenue for my health. he knows how hard i've fought this but in the end it was inevitable. maybe it's for the best but i feel very defeated

 

S

sorry Chris.
I know it's going to be me also at some point.
What were you averaging before meals ?

 

thats the part that threw a monkey wrench into the whole thing. i got my numbers down to like 145 after a meal in the evening but then fasting the next morning it woould be like 210 or more. it's ass backwards like everything else i do
