Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2005quick update
went to the doc this morning to get my hand looked at further. the doc ordered a bone density test for me and more blood work... they took 7 tubes about bled me dry. lol overall, basically she gave me a physical... she said for someone in my condition I was in excellent health otherwise. she did a ekg and said I have the heart of a marathon runner, lol guess osmosis does work after all!! she gave me some other anti-inflamitory, some meds for my stomach and lowered my zestril to 2.5mg since my BP was 110/64 and I'd not had any zestril in about 6 months cuz I kept getting dizzy from a low bp. lol and again the GP asks,, "you have a endocronologist right? because you know more then I do about DM" after a 5 min discussion on how I carb count and insulin adjust. anyhooo.... overall, my name wasn't in the obits this morning so I reckon i'm still alive another day.. off to work... have fun all RK, t1 Congrats on the checkup. > anyhooo.... overall, my name wasn't in the obits this morning > so I reckon i'm still alive another day.. Most people check the weather and their email when they get up, I check the obituaries first thing.

In our area there are way too many "young" people dying. Sad news but true. Especially sad when I see people that graduated with me has died already. I was in the class of "68". But anyways thanks for the smile this morning. :-) >I was in the class of "68". I've often wondered about that "class of" thing with you guys. Is it the year you started, or the year you graduated? Is it HS or college? Assuming graduation, if it was HS, I was "class of 63", technician "class of 66", college "class of 72" - it gets sort of confusing. I think we had a HS reunion once, after twenty-five years - but I missed it; maybe I'll go to the fiftieth:-) Cheers Alan, T2, Australia. SignatureEverything in Moderation - Except Laughter. In my case the year "68" was my High School as I don't have any college behind me. I am dumber than a box of rocks and my grades would never have gotten me in the front door of college. >>I was in the class of "68". > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Cheers Alan, T2, Australia. >In my case the year "68" was my High School as I don't have any college >behind me.

Never confuse "educated" with "intelligent". Lots of dumb people graduated college - as did some that were very bright. I believe in the value of education and support it strongly, but lots of very bright people also never went to college. Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.

If you were dumb you > wouldn't be here trying to gain control. Some of the best brains never even made it to high school! On a more personal level, my mum left school in grade 6 (about 12 years old) to help with younger brothers and sisters. For years she was just mum until one day (as I got older of course) I realised what a highly intelligent woman she was with I am sure a very high IQ. > Never confuse "educated" with "intelligent".

Reisa, my name will be in the obts far sooner than yours. lol You are indeed very knowledgeable and you can teach dem docs a thing or too.
