A1C and Knee

Well, after a couple of months of waiting for another A!C test--which came in at 6.4--but now I have a wait for a little more than a month for the surgery on my right knee to get it finally replaced on September 12th. Wow, cant believe either one of the two events. I will keep everyone posted as the events come about.

"I had Bells Palsy years ago, and I heard that it's caused by the chicken pox or shingles virus (varicella) firing up in your body and affecting the nerves in your face. I went to the ER & they prescribed an antiviral drug & I recovered…"

LOL! I had a cousin who took diabetes in the 50's at 19 and when I turned 30 Honestly I had the hardst time with that one she was 40 then and I ask her how she done it she said back to me "I thank God for everyday I can open my eyes and see the light of a new day" She had many complications from Type 1 at that time. Had 2 legs removed 8 of her 10 fingers and also had a kidney transplant. So from then on I decided the world didn't know how blessed it was on 4/5/63 (the year and day I was born) hehehe. May you have many more and not forget them!!!!!

Hope your knee isn't hurting as bad now that you got your shot. You sound glad about getting the knee replacement, but I'm sorry to hear you're gonna have to go through that.

Bummer you reinjured your bum knee. Hope it doesn't turn out to be too bad, and hoping you feel better asap.
