• Update for July 1, 2009

  Logged in to post a comment on Xanga; so I may as well post an update:

  I am fighting with high blood sugars and mostly winning this summer.  The Healthy Chocolates seem to be helping, especially in the higher energy department.  My last blood labs just ten days ago were mostly in the normal  or, at least, the target ranges; however the uric acid was elevated.  Symptoms of edema (swelling of my feet) and neuropathy (painful tingling in my feet) persist but are less painful lately; and they don't feel like gout which is usually a symptom of high uric acid.  So, in addition to keeping my glucose levels lower and taking a diuretic (water pill), I have been eating fresh Bing cherries these past few days.

  I'm still kept busy with counseling and taxi-cab ministries for my band of "misfits."   And this, plus the high humidity during June, has kept me away from bass fishing on Rockville Lake.  But TODAY -- with an expected high temperature of about 70 degrees -- may be the day to change that!

  Had two picnic visits with family members these past two Saturdays, and have another one planned this coming Saturday the Fourth of July.

  May the Lord bless y'all richly,

  Jerry
