"Thanks IJ!
As the nights get colder the cats migrate to me just like my wife as I seem to give off alot of warmth. :-)
One really strange thing about the cats is that when I am not feeling well, say with a bad hip or ribs saying hello, the cats…"

OldManInSC replied to Interplanet Janet's discussion 'Bruising'"Back before I got old and only good for use as a cat rest, I studied martial arts.
The style I studied tended to leave alot of bruises everywhere from the face on down.
You can pick up martial arts bruise remedies at the better martial arts…"
OldManInSC replied to paul thennes's discussion 'left leg stumble sometimes while walking'"Good evening,
One thing you need to have checked is the possibility of back involvement. Have you had any falls or have you had back issues in the past?
My back surgeon called it drop foot and what happened in my case was that the nerves to my leg…"
DuckFiabetes! commented on OldManInSC's blog post 'No Title'"AI and Expert Systems seems to be the buzzword and very big deal back then... then it all kiinda faded away.

I am sitting here trying to get some traction in my life again. It's been another "couple of those years" and quite frankly, I am ready for some kind of change. I am still working which is a real blessing in this day and age and I am still married, well, not sure if that is a blessing for my poor wife who is still healthy and has to deal with me.You will likely notice that I tend to self deprecating humor, most likely a result of being a fat kid who thinned down and then was exposed to way too…See More
OldManInSC commented on twiddlemthumbs's blog post 'Gateway to a MAGICAL PLACE'"Probably my imagination in overdrive but that looks like honeysuckle along the sides!
Just looking at this picture broght back memories of my grandparent's house way back in the sticks in Kentucky. No electricity, no running water and of…"
OldManInSC replied to Manny Hernandez's discussion 'Avandia acces significantly restricted in the US by FDA'"What is it about the drug that causes the problems? Can anyone explain in mostly non-MedicalDegree terms? :-)
I wonder if they could modify the drug a bit to remove the side effects?

OldManInSC replied to Loquacity's discussion 'Januvia, Diaformin XR, Metformin ... pills pills pills!'"I have a wonderful blue bag from Contour, given to me "free of charge" when I was diagnosed about a year ago. It is full of pills.

OldManInSC replied to KimKat's discussion 'Am I getting worse? Higher morning numbers'"I thought that pi** was where light beer came from?!!

OldManInSC replied to KimKat's discussion 'Am I getting worse? Higher morning numbers'"Worry can really affect the numbers, most definitely.
If your readings are fairly consistent, maybe with a couple of outliers then it is likely that your bottle of strips is ok as well as your meter.
Are you in pain as well? Again, that can have a…"
OldManInSC replied to Cathy Jacobson's discussion 'Emotional reactions to high numbers'"I am fairly new to Type 2, just completing a year dealing with it.
I have had some scary numbers during that time with readings over 300 or even over 400 at times.
I don't know about you folks but the first thing my wife and son asked me was…"
OldManInSC replied to Interplanet Janet's discussion 'Where did my good numbers go?'"I think the doctor visit is a very good idea, Janet and the only additional advice I would add is to make sure they know why you are coming in so that you can take any special actions like fasting before the visit.\
Good luck and let us know what…"

OldManInSC replied to Robert Mitchell's discussion 'Need some help.'"Great idea on the plan, Tanya.
Ok, another food related question for everyone.
