Making progress

Have been walking without the walker for a couple of weeks, which was one impotant goal (got a $128 bill for the walker, too, but fortunately I don't have to pay it!). Typing and writing still not great, but that's to be expected. Saw doctor and was told I only have to take my sugar once in the morning, which will make my fingers happy. A1C at the end of Feb, so we'll see what progess has been made (it was 12 when I was admitted). Sugars are <130, and the secular trend has been down (I keep records of this stuff). And I've lost about 5 lbs since admission thanks to diet and exercise changes. Now for the next 75.

And how are you?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
