Hiya, Thursday.
Brother Jack finally updated his blog...woohoo, 'happy days are here again....' sung brightly and fortisimo! Jack is busy, but seriously, all he has to do is blog: MONDAY: Busy, TUESDAY: busy, WEDNESDAY: busy.........what is the problem? Then at least we would all know that Jack has been, well, busy.
This AM I kept an appointment with my Research team at the Diabetes research group. I am a human lab rat ( is that an oxymoron or am I just wishful thinking?) . The research is going well, I am testing a new drug for treating high blood pressure....before I started the study my BP was 130 over 78 and now, after having taken this new BP medication for 3 months, my BP is 144 over 88.......CRAP. Believe me, I lost no time in pointing out the
anomally, I said, "Hey, What is with this anomaly?" "I mean BP was good, now bad?" they said "OOOH, yes we should look into that" (or words to that effect). Yeah, get back to me.
Anyways, my knee and upper thigh have been hurtin' for the last 2 weeks, so much so that it is affecting my personal quality of life. I have been missing the odd workout. I finally went to the doctor this morning and had it x-rayed. No news yet on the thigh (feels like an inflammed tendon?) but my knee is arthritic...almost bone on bone. Here is my theory, my knee is hurtin'... so I favour it and by doing so it has inflammed my tendon in my thigh. Just gettin' old...56 years of rough livin' all those years of hi-rolling and hootenannying have paid off in pain. Should have laid offn' those Quayluuds.
Got Nana a new glucose monitor...one like mine that can track progress through a computer. It requires little blood and therefore can be use on the arm (like BB king!). Got her new medication too; she is taking metformin now instead of glyburide.
Well got to go over to the store and buy Nana some provisions she'll be wantin for winter. It gets real bad here in the winter what with the wolves pickin off the stragglers at rush hour and all. Tommorow is another day........
