Hello All! Yes JB is still around and kicking even! My heart failure took a lot out of me but now that the drugs take hold a bit, all 10 of them, it goes a bit better. Incase you don't know, I have Congested Heart Failure, complements of 50 years of diabetes type-1. Yes, I got a medal from Joslin. Got a bad big toe infection, can't walk well and going to Costco today for the first time, they planted me in a electric buggy to get around. When I returned the buggy, they said to me that I would not get it again, why?
It was very busy and the darn buggy did not follow my direction putting two ladies in the hospital and three people temporarely limping. They all forgave me, Xmas you know! I forgave them also, for standing in the way!
This is really a tryout for my new computer and a tryout for me also. Will be back telling you all kinds of things.

JOHNBEN.

I just saw this today. I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing. My condolences to you and your family, and especially to Johanna.

This is very sad. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Rest in peace.

I missed this too when it was first posted. My thoughts are with the family and his beloved Johanna that he always talked about on here.

I'm sad to hear he's gone but a true winner lasting as long as he did! He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss Wayne. I will miss your dad's humourous posts. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Joanne

JohnBen was a wonderful, cool gentleman. I read every post he made on numerous sites. He was knowledgeable, humorous and compassionate to all. I have a feeling he will stay in touch. I hope so.

I just deleted my post - I haven't been on inawhile and had forgot how to look at a) date blog posted; and b) other comments. So, so, sad to hear JohnBen and his great humour has left Tudiabetes and our big blue marble. We'll at least if I kick the bucket with heart probs (I'm 45 years with T1D so far) - JohnBen and I will be able to share some real rib cracking jokes where ever we end up!
