I am feeling MUCH better, and I am now home. I was discharged home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, with a load of drugs and an admonishment to "stay home and rest", lest a "roundhouse kick" pneumonia, following the H1N1 Flu come back to get me "on the flip side". I am paying attention now and heeding the warning.

The bad thing that happened had to do with my blood sugars. The steroids I was on (IV Solumedrol), to control my asthma, jacked my sugar waaaaay up and made me "insulin dependent" in the hospital. I have long been predisposed to Insulin Resistance, due to my endocrine disorder, but I have never been diagnosed with Diabetes 2, all these many years. Now....here we go.

I've made up my mind that I am not going to allow Diabetes to control me. Nope, not if I can help it, and I intend to do everything possible to regulate my diet (my wife's a GREAT cook and cooks healthy), exercise as much as i can (I have access to the Nellis AFB Health and Wellness Center, or "HAWC"), and get bariatric surgery. I need to lose 150 lbs. That should drive the diabetes away!!!

It's going to be a whole new world for me, but I can and will do it. After all, it's, most definitely, NOT the hardest thing I have ever done.

Yep, I am on the mend!!!
