DIABETES Diagnostics

I have decided to write a biography of my married life, and IN this biography I intend to say how I have felt about many incidents that have happened in this period.   07/30/2005

Diana and I decided to marry while I was a missionary. – 1973 - To be honest, I do not know why we decided to marry except that I thought I needed to find someone beautiful enough to turn the heads of everyone around. This is a poor reason to marry anyone, but I was truly blessed, in that I have since found that Diana is one of the most beautiful people that I have ever met. Both outside and inside Diana tries to be kind to everyone, even the garbage man, not that he is bad or anytthing. Not only is she beautiful but she is also much smarter than I in most things. I believe that the only thing that I am better at than she is that of being more consistent and I am very inconsistent.
Diana has been so patient with my inconsideration to so many people, starting with my children. I have always felt the world owed me as I was delt a terrible hand as I have fought with Diabetes most of my life. Something I wish all you parents to realize is that because I am definitely a carrier also I have given each of my children at least a 50% chance of also being a carrier. I don’t think my parents had any idea as to what they had the possibility of giving their children. Therefore I must  only blame myself for my situation. And now for the reason for this “aside”!

Ciria called me a few days ago with concerns for Zoë, as she had to go to the bathroom a lot, 5 times in 1-½ hours. Well I want to tell you all
about what I remember of when I was diagnosed with Diabetes.
1.    I was continually thirsty nothing seemed to satisfy my thirst
2.    I had to pee a lot (I think it because I drank so much)
3.    I ate more than normal and continued to loose weight
4.    I continually felt sick (my neck hurt, around my shoulders was very sensitive to the touch, I felt ill most of the time)
5.    I was only interested in myself (this might be a personality flaw)

I hope this will help with any questions you might have concerning diabetes diagnostics!

Now back    to the star witness, Diana, she has always taken care of me, even when I was faking to get her attention.                         

What's going OM in my life???

Cathy and Vallen gave me an iMac and Microsoft Office 2008 for my birthday and wouldn't you know it but the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedures I had written to automate some processes will not work on the Mac. This is because of a different type of code, 64bit instead of 32 bit. Sooo I am left with doing everything by hand until I can teach myself AppleScript which will take the place of VBA, if I can remember all the Procs I wrote.

In short, Cathy and Vallen have given me a great reason to live and learn, yea, yea, yea, Yea, Yea. This will make Diana happy and I know it makes me happy. I didnt think I had it in me any more to remember all the little details it takes to learn and write code of any sort. I guess "an old dog can learn new tricks", ill have to REMEMBER this with Duke!!!
