Good news for some

I am going away for a bit. I mentioned earlier that I needed 10K for health reasons. It seems it has caught up with me. About a year and a half ago my blood sugar levels kept getting higher and higher. In that time, before the incident actually, I cut back on alcohol, and what I eat. But still the levels got higher. Yes, I do exercise. I walk and weight lift. And before any of my critics say anything; when you can bench press 160kgs, leg press 400kg, and walk four miles, then you can make jokes about my size.

Korean doctor like to ‘observe’ a situation instead of acting. So for a year and a half I was observed. I was observed by specialist and regular doctors. I even had a physical last year and the people at the hospital said I was fine. A few weeks ago I noticed white patches that would flash over my vision. A few days ago I would wake up and my vision would be extremely blurred. Over the last few days my view has gotten worse. Even as I type this message I am squinting at the screen. I am hoping, praying the problem can be fixed. I don’t want to lose my sight. But then again, who does.

I am hoping that it is something as simple as having to re-adjust my insulin. I am scheduling an eye appointment at the international clinic on 14 Friday 2008. There is another diabetic here who went to get checked out after his doctor didn’t give him straight answers. So, maybe it will help me too. I hope so.

Anyway, I am off. It might be just for a few days, it might be for a week, or a year. But I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has befriended me.

And pffffft to the others.

Later days.

Hope it all works out ok - health and eyesight are important things and need looking after. I\'ll keep a chair warm for you in the cave ready for your return, don\'t leave it too long ;)

EB, best of luck to you. See you in PM on occasion? Then you can tell me Pth.

I hang out with a few diabetics. The vision seems to be one of the first things to go.

Take care of yourself - it is the only self you get in this life.

I wish you well Jules.
I\'d say take care of yourself but I know that you already do. So instead let me hope that the Doctors will take superb care of one of this sites true characters and that you are soon back giving honest opinions and suffering no fools.

But if they don\'t treat you well, give \'em hell!

I\'m praying for you. Mr C is losing his vision to diabetic retinopathy so I know what you\'re going through and the attitude of the Doctors is not good there. Please let us know how things turn out. We\'d hate to have you not here at all. Plus you\'ll be leaving me alone in the cave with Billy and the boys. ;)

Best of Luck EB and keep fighting the good fight.

I\'ve been diagnosed with Diabetes and I know how serious it can be...yet it still hasn\'t prompted me to take any action because of it. I need to get a fire lit up under my arse and start taking care of it, and I\'m glad to see you are making the right decisions!

Re-read. If she does burn, she\'s not a witch.

Witchs don\'t burn, you have to drown them.
???
Or do I have that backwards? Put them in the dunking stool and if they drown, they are not a witch. If they don\'t drown, then they are a witch and we have to burn them..
