Changes...

After getting back from the Howard County/Kokomo, Indiana, Vietnam Veteran Reunion this weekend, I sadly discovered our regular physician was retiring, immediately!  Still a young man in his 50s he has been experiencing some medical problems, including short term memory loss....details which need not be laid out here.

In the past month my blood pressure has continued in the normal to slightly above normal range...sadly my weight has increased 8 to10 pounds, but is still 20 or so pounds below what it was 2 years ago when I started on this Diabetes 2 Diet plan....the big news of late, other than Doc retiring, is that my bad Cholestrol rate is above what it needs to be.  I started on Zocor at the end of August, but am not convinced that I will remain on this Statin.   There appear to be a few side effects that I do not like, but will remain on the drug until the results of my blood work is done by the end of this month.

More on this later....
