Child saves diabetic parent — receives an award from the city.

Darn it, haven’t found anything about this on the web, if anyone does, please let me know.

I saw the tail end of a news story on one of the alternative stations (with 1 hour news), about a young child who saved her dad from a hypoglymic episode in Southlake Texas. She was 5 years old.

She did everything right, called 911, administred medication (I assume glucose), and by the time the officers got there, he was recovering.

The city gave her and her family an award, praising both her and her family for properly educating the family on how to help a diabetic.

Recovering from Carpel Tunnel

I got to take off my bandages this morning at the doctor’s office. I think there were 4 layers.

As you can tell by my post, my right hand is back. He used a surgical glue, and hand is healing well. He told me to use common sense on using the hand, though I don’t always show that so maybe he should be more specific.

I did very well with blood sugar throughout the whole episode. Finally did break down and let it get a bit high yesterday afternoon, but got it right back down.

It will be easier at the gym now, since I am two handed again!

ARGH!

The Washington Times: Commentary

This sort of thing needs to be stopped, and stopped NOW!

There is much more to overweight than McDonald’s. There is even much more to being overweight than how much or what anyone eats, how much someone exercises.

And food isn’t tobacco.

In fact, being fat isn’t a choice that people make. I know that I didn’t make the choice of being fat. There were a lot of factors that got me here.

Recovering from Carpel Tunnel

I’m really having a tough time with my left hand.

Right now I’m not even sure I make it into school tomorrow. The hand that was operated on is doing fine. I see the doctor Tuesday.

The little dog’s gash is doing well. She sees the vet tomorrow

Recovering from carpel tunnel

No pain, numbness, etc from that hand.

I cant stand the sling anymore… so only wearing sling in the halls at school.

Dog is doing better too.

I missed the gym last night…had trouble driving home from school, kept falling asleep at lights… so ate and hit the bed right away. First day I have missed in months!

Recovering from Carpel Tunnel

The un-operated on hand is bothering me. Did make it to the gym, 25 minutes on elliptical trainer 20 minutes on the treadmill.

Little dog decided she needed surgery and has a 2 in. gash on her leg we have no idea how that happened. She is doing well. Free to a good home isn’t free.
