June 13 Sat.

I'm still having a difficult time trying to manage my blood sugar. This morning it was 229 so I just had an egg and some sausage and 1/2 piece of toast and a glass of water. At lunch it was still 225 and I had taken 6units of insulin like it says to do. I just checked it again at 3:15 and it's 179. That's not as bad as it was, but I expected it to get much lower because for lunch I had a salad with oil and vinegar.

Margo I just tried your sugar free jello and it does taste pretty good. It's better than I thought it would be. I also tried that drink that the Cancer Center gave me to try and I think I'll pass on buying any of that.

I know there are at least 3 nurses watching this blog, if you have any suggestions, please let me have them. It's not bad enough to call Carol, but I am open to suggestions.

Another thing I found out today was, Hyaluronic Acid works. If you don't know what that is, look it up on the Internet. It helps joints and your skin. It's in all parts of your body. It's what they inject in a race horse if they go lame. It's approved if you want to get a shot from a doctor, but the AMA has not approved the use by pill. You can get it on line, and the reason I say it works is, I have a bad knee since football in high school. I also had a problem with my shoulder and was unable to raise it above my head. I started taking HA three years ago and all that vanished. for some stupid reason when I got the cancer and started having to take all this other medicine, I didn't order any more HA. Today I paid the price, I couldn't even get out of bed my knee hurt so much. After three extra strength aspirin I'm finally able to walk on it. It still hurts, but I can walk. So if you have similar problems. try the Hyaluronic Acid. It worked for me.

Well I guess I get to stay home and watch Sammy. Brian is in San Diego visiting his college buddies and Sharon is going to a party with her girl friends. The Harley group is having a Music Fest, but I think I'll have to pass. I'm sure Cate won't miss her dad at the party. Boy am I pitiful, is everyone feeling sorry for me yet.

OK then, it looks like time to sign off for the day.
