Age 48 today. Don't feel it, I feel good. I'm (temporarily) at home in NC with my family, and life is good.
Weight still dropping - weighed 237 this morning (down from 288 in May).
Blood glucose last night was 87. Down from 312 in late May when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. Blood pressure is 110/76, down from 140/90 in May. Pulse still high, @76 resting.
Got a great pair of bag gloves from my wife, and she also gave me an Ipod Touch. Wow, what a pair of fantastic gifts! I've never had an Ipod type device before - I tried early PDA's long ago, and while they were cool when I traveled for a living, I stopped using them when I got a 'day job' and now they seem altogether primitive compared to the Ipod Touch. The phrase "there's an app for that" has actual meaning to me now. I have news, weather, road directions, contacts, I can monitor my apartment in MI's webcam (so cool) and I even found free apps for monitoring my blood glucose, weight, blood pressure, etc, plus a free Japanese phrasebook with a voice speaking so I know what the words should sound like. Ah, I'm lost in geekitude.
Karate tonight in Tarboro at my 'visiting' dojo. Life is good. Except I'm working today. At least I can work from home.
