Big Daddy

Todd has been feeling very sluggish and sickly lately so he finally broke down and went to the doctor last week. Well it wasn't good news for us! He was diagnosed as a Hypertension Diabetic. His sugar level was - get this - 561. Keep in mind that the normal is apprx. 70-120ish. They ran a test to check his levels for the past 6 months and apparently he has had this for some time now. He could have had a seizure or went into a coma from this or worse. We were very fortunate that didn't happen I must say!!! Also, his blood pressure and cholesterol levels are extremely high as well. Needless to say, Todd has had to completely change his eating habits! I am VERY proud of him. He has gotten his sugar levels down just below 200. That is still a little high, but it's a great start! He got this report from a clinic here in town, but he has an appt. with a doctor in WP tomorrow that will hopefully be able to get him straightened out. I will keep you posted.

Oh my gosh! Todd IS lucky that something really bad didn't happen. I know that the changes will be tough, but worth it. Imagine how much better he'll feel! Glad it was caught before something terrible happened.

Tell him to take care of his ass! Or I guess that would be really you taking care of YOUR ass....
