Hey everybody....

Well I still have trouble with faxes getting lost at my surgeons office but I just figured I would keep copies of everything and hand deliver them. I talked to the insurance person there and I have to go to a few more months of supervised dieting but Ill be done in early July so thats not a problem for me. With any luck I should have my surgery date in about 40 days. Because of various issues in my life it would work out best for me if the surgery was around the first week of August and so far its looking like thats pretty much exactly what Ill get. Everyone told me I was crazy to worry about diabetes like I was remember? Well I was started on metformin and when that wasnt strong enough they added another medicine to it. I was taking 4 large pills everyday. That was two months ago and it seems they are no longer working. A few weeks ago my blood glucose got so high that I was spilling glucose over into my urine which is a sure sign of eventual kidney damage. This week I started a new much stronger medication and the PCP said he might have to put me on insulin as well. Somehow saying "I told you so" to everyone doesnt make me feel much better. Its hard to stay upbeat today. Four years ago tommorrow I was nearly killed by my ex wife when she pushed me through a plate glass window. Had to have my right arm re attached and when I woke up she had charged me with more than a dozen felonies including attempted murder. DSS came and took my kids away from me. Three months later the charges were dismissed and I won custody of my children back but May 27 will always be a hard day for me.

Good Luck on your August date, I hope that works out for you. Sorry to hear about the pills not working. I hope the docs get things straight for you. I know it's hard to get over things we go through in life. Some worse than others. But look on the bright side. Everything turned out for the best . I always have heard that the best revenge to have on someone is to live your life well. And that is what you're working toward. I would suggest and only my opinion, learn to forgive her (not that you have to forget about it)...and your life will be better for it. Maybe you're not ready for that but for your children you should learn. And no I didn't go thru what you have, but I went thru my own things Not all women nor men are like our x's.. Have a great weekend.
