Earlier today I posted a comment on the current caption thread, checked back later, and saw a reply from Dr. Eowyn, clicked on it, then spent the next half hour or so crying like a baby.
I have no idea how I managed to miss this, but somehow I did, and I sincerely apologize to each and every one of you here at FotM, and particularly to Dr. Eowyn.
Dr. Eowyn had even emailed me and told me she was going to post it, and I still missed it.
Right now, I feel about three fathoms lower than whale-squeeze.
I sincerely appreciate all of your concerns, kind words and prayers, and I seriously regret not having responded to them in a timely manner.
Things have gotten a little better over the last couple of days, and I finally managed to get my blood sugar to settle down a bit (which has been all over the scale for the last few weeks, and has laid me out flat numerous times), and I hope this trend will continue.
I realize there are a lot of my friends both on and off the Internet that are a little outdone with me right now.
Please do not take it personally, and also know that I am trying my best to work my way through it all, but to be honest, there just is not enough of me to go around at the moment.
Maybe I need to try harder.

Don’t worry about us Dave….take care of yourself and your parents. You hang in there and we’ll keep sending prayers your way!
Thanks, DCG.

I’ll second that! we sincerely care. Cinammon is excellent for blood sugar. Been wondering how things are, thankyou Dave for letting us know. Prayers and strength.
Thank you, tina.

You are in my prayers. Diabetes is more erratic when you are under stress so everything is compounded at once. I hope that you were able to get some support for your parents thru hospice, home health aides or your church. Share your yoke of burdens with Jesus Christ, He won’t let you down.
hrmfc,
It’s hard to explain to people that don’t have it what it is really like.
When your blood sugar goes haywire, you are going to be going down for a bit.
The only question is, will you do it yourself, or wait for the diabetes to put you down.
Thanks, as well.

Glad you’re a little better. Don’t worry about us, we’re not easily offended. (Except for the trolls, and they don’t count).
Dave,
Glad that the situation at home has improved a little. Your health (diabetes), of course, is the priority because if you’re unwell, you can’t take care of others. When we are under a lot of stress, we tend to reach out for comfort foods, but you need to stay away from the sugar and starch!
On the few occasions when I was absolutely desperate, I asked Jesus to help, going to Him as a little child. He always, unfailingly answers.
God bless you Dave.

No worries ,Dave…I was wondering where you’d gotten to…
all of that good,clean living catching up,is it ?
The bright side of the sugar swings is all of the great naps after
meals
Join us when you can but if you’re trying to keep BP down ,
giving up reading about the im-POTUS might be as beneficial as
giving the coffee a pass….herbal tea with a twist of lemon,mmmm
I just got an email yesterday that lemon kills cancer cells, among other good things. I don’t know if it’s true but it can’t hurt. Think I’ll start adding more to our diets too. Beats chemo…
Take a break and rest. If you don’t you may regret it. You can burn out; you know!
Dave, I’m so sorry, I did not realize how bad things were with you. I will add you do my daily “praying for” list. God bless you and your parents. (mb from NB)
