03.03.10... Well.. i have been out of sorts for the past two weeks or so. See.. i went in to see my Doctor for my monthly check up and med refills.. and he decided to do some blood work that day. Turns out that my sugar levels and all the others names that go with it were Really High. One of the test was so High, that it blew all the other test off the scale. The result.. i now have to inject myself with insulin. i was just taking a pill for my Diabetes. Not anymore. i started out at 10 units. My sugar level was hanging out around 450. i am increasing the units by 1 every night till my sugar gets below 150. Tonight i gave myself 22 units, and my sugar is around 250. So.. i am getting there. Kind of funny.. i am turning out to be just like my Mother. i just wish she was here so i could tell her about it. Wishful thinking. Just one more thing to worry about. So many people die because of Diabetes. Heart disease and Kidney failure. It's a little scary. i guess that means no more chocolate bars at midnight. i gave up Bread and Sweets about two years ago. But for the last 3 or 4 weeks, i had been sneaking a snickers bar as a midnight snack. Not the King size. Just the regular one. No More! My Doctor, i Love him.. he tells me to eat whatever i want... no matter what it is.. just do it in a normal diet proportions. Half-a-Cup of beans, potatoes, and 6oz. of meat... and maybe a small piece of pie once a week. Man.. that is torture. It's 02:30 Wednesday morning. Stephania is asleep. Dead to the world. i should be in bed. i have been Really Bored for the past month or so. Just not interested in anything. i take Stephania to work and come back home and get back in bed. Then i stay there till i get hungry. Usually around 13:00 or so. After i eat.. i go back and lay in the bed. At 16:30, i get up and go pick Stephania up from work. Then we go out to eat Dinner.. maybe shop a little, Come home... i lay down.. She watches TV. Around 23:00, i take my meds and we both go to bed. That's what i have been doing since... months. Pretty sad. i feel as though i have no purpose in life. My Doctor asked me this morning what was my purpose in life. i told him that i was here to waste skin. Crazy. i don't know. i hate TV. i don't like to read.. except for the News. News websites.. but that gets old. i'm not into porn. That's so two days ago. i guess i could be working on the website... learning new ways to make it more interesting. One thing i LOVE to do is talk on the phone..!!! But, i only have three people in my life right now. Stephania.. my wife.. who is at work and can't talk that long... My Bestest Friend Tim that lives in Dallas... That's always at work.. and can never talk that long. And finally,.. i have a Friend that lives in Huntsville, Alabama. His name is Rickey. He is an older Man. i met him at a "Meet a PenPal" site. He loves to tell stories about growing up and about all the things he and his family did. That's It... .... i remember asking my last shrink about meeting people in the Birmingham area and making new friends.. He told me that Birmingham had the ruddiest people,.. and that it was almost impossible to make any kind of friend. i have found that to be very true. i did make a FaceBook page. But for the life of me, i can not figure that website out. What is the meaning of FaceBook?? When i go there, what am i suppose to be doing? i go there and read what the others have said... i might leave a comment or two. That's it. Nothing happens after that. The page just sits there. i don't get it. i hear people talk about being of FaceBook all day long. What in the world are they doing? Oh Well.. Maybe i have said to much... more later...

02.12.10... It's Snowing today. Yeah!!!, i was hoping it would snow on my BirthDay... But it did not. It has snowed on my BirthDay twice. The snow is so pretty. How it floats down to the grown. So slow and peaceful like. Yes, i took many videos and Pictures. Stephania is still at work. Usually Blue Cross will send the employees home right after the first flake hits the grown. But that is not the case today.... so far. ..Change the subject. i have been checking my sugar levels the past week.. Every time i check it.. it's usually around 400... (395 - 415).. Yes, That is way to high. For a normal person, their sugar level should be somewhere between 80 - 120. My mom, JudyC, was a sever Diabetic. i guess i have reached that age and weight for it to happen to me. The one thing that would help the most... walking. i could,.. should.. walk around the block 3 or 4 times a day... then add to it as i get use to walking again. If i could lose the weight.. and get into better shape... i would be able to control the diabetes much better.. ...Hey.. it's snowing today.. and the ground is covered.. The trees look beautiful. The red birds stand out. It's easy to see them against the white background. i Really Love this time of year!!.. more later... Cya., ThunderBoy David

 

02.09.10... Happy BirthDay to me. Today i turn 45 years old. i would say that i feel old, only for one reason. Today on my BirthDay, my Doctor put me on insulin shots. i was keeping my sugar levels down by just taking a pill. The last time i went to see my Doctor, Dr. Douglas Moore.. The Greatest Doctor Ever!!!... He decided to take some blood and run a few test. Turns out that my sugar was way off the chart. In fact, it blew all the other test off the scale. So now i have to give myself 10 units of insulin in my stomach every night before bedtime. The needle is so small, i don't feel it at all. Which is a good thing i guess. Needles has never bothered me. i think getting shots is kind of neat. Think about how the Needle was made. How small the needle is, and how small the hole in the center of the needle is. What kind of machine made the needle. Think about what the needle has done for mankind and animals too. Okay... i need to quit.. more later... Cya., ThunderBoy David

 

01.29.10... Today is just going to be one of those days. Let's just jump right into to it, Shall we? It seems like all the People that send me EMail expect me to read every little word and look at every little picture in the EMail. When i talk to them on the phone they will ask me about the EMail and expect me to give a full report. But i have noticed that when i send an EMail to these same people, and i later ask them what they thought about the EMail.. it's always... What EMail? i didn't get any EMail for you. Then they go and check their mailbox and they see the EMail.... and come back with,... oh yeah, i saw that.. i just glanced at it.. i didn't read it. In other words, it was not worthy of Their Time. What i think or the things i think is interesting is not worthy to others.. but What everybody else is interested in.. i should drop what i'm doing and look and listen. i don't mind listening to what others have to say... most of the time i learn something i didn't know. That's what happens when i keep my mouth shut and listen. But let me open my mouth.. and people just walk away. Some One Please tell me why i am here in the First Place. What is my purpose?? Am i Dear Abbey's long lost Brother?? That's a stretch. Oh well.. if You are reading this.. it probably does not matter to You anyway.. more later... Cya., ThunderBoy David

 

12.17.09... This time of year is kind of hard for me. Seems that No one remembers what Christmas is all about. i never know what gifts to buy. Plus i usually don't have enough money to buy the gifts i want to buy. All of that doesn't have anything to do with Christmas. Well, at least not to me....  ...Let me say this before i forget., my spelling is awful.., and i have no grasp of how to use grammar what so ever. It just never made any sense to me. SO... if You see any errors, DAMN.. either email and show me the way.. or turn your eye the other way. And, Yes...i have a problem with Your and You're. It seems every where i look, Your is being used for both. Especially on the internet. But Hey, what do you expect,... i live in the South. i have lived in the South all my life. Right now i live in Birmingham, Alabama. Yea! for me. Give me a brake. Birmingham is nothing but another small, country hick town. It's just a little spread out. Give me a Real City., Like New York or Boston, or maybe Chicago. i have been living here in the Birmingham area for 13 years. All i do is stay at home. i never leave the house. i do go out some... but Very little. i also don't sleep that much. i will stay awake for 3 or 4 days straight, then sleep a few hours and start over. i think it has something to do with being BiPolar. But that's a whole other story. i don't have any friends here. i don't know anyone here. Which is fine, i guess.. Maybe it's what i need to be going through right now in my life. It will all work out in the end. It always does. My brother that lives in Dallas use to call me the luckiest man alive. Seems like everything always goes my way, or turns out better than expected. SO... back to Christmas. It sure doesn't feel right without my Grandmother and my Mom. i Really!! miss my Grandmother. Christmas was very special between her and me. My mind has gone blank... maybe more later...  Cya., ThunderBoy David
