This blog is basically to chart my progress in trying to lose weight...
This is a Record of my daily events including my family when appropriate for my other family members to see if they choose to.
This is my legacy, for my family to read after I am dead and burried. So, any thing on here is meant for them only and if it offends anyone, my apologies, but, its not meant for you and them
Chow for now...
May the LORD Bless all who see this.
I wish you well...

My 'Weep Hole' is leaking!
Yea, that sounds nasty and down right ignorant to say, but its true LOL ..sheesh....
Two days ago, my Wife wrapped my feet and legs in ace bandages, something that the Doctors ordered one night at the Hospital when I was a patient, and she decided that it may help me get rid oof some water that is built up again in my feet and legs.
Well, long story, short, she doesnt have all that much feelings in her hands (carpal tunnel), and cant 'feel how tight she wraps the things, (which werent tight in the least), so, after she took them off, (she had another briight idea of me being in bed for hours, so that the swelling in my legs and feet would go down...NADA!!), I had my Son wrap them up again.
Now, my Son, he wrapped them as tight as I wanted my Wife to do in the first place, but, after a couple of hours, they started to hurt a lot, so, I had her come and unwrap them, (no, I cant do it, cause my belly is too big to get down there and my back would scream and my legs just arent that 'small' now, to bend them up to my reach anymore...trials and tribulations of being a 'fat man').
It turns out, that my bed, after she took the wrappings off, was wet, an hour or so later at the bottom, near my feet???? Now, this perplexed me to no end? I called my Wife and she looked and saw that I had a 'cut' on my legs from the bandage she says, being so 'tight'.. (well, they didnt quite 'cut' me, they forced water from a pore, enlarging it enough to keep water coming out, and to this day it continues to seep out).
I had never heard of such a thing, and later on that night, we had company from Ashtabula come in, (they were on thier way to the Casino in Chester West Virginia-->drove 110 miles to get to our house to visit, then went there to gamble... They stayed for a couple of hours and we got to have a great time with them, chatting about old times and catching up with latest developements, (seems Junior was in the Hospital and 'really' got messed up with the sloppy care of his Doctors, and has one foot in the grave and is falling into the hole, let alone, that banana peel everyone is talking about slipping on, he is way past that one, and I feel for him... I always say, Doctors 'mess up' and 'we' have to pay for thier mistakes all the time...sheesh!!).
Well, I wheeled my chair into the kitchen, and after awhile, my feet were in a puddle of water??? Wife explained it as her Brother walking past me and his shoes were wet from coming out side... Yea Right!!...
Turns out, when I went back to my computer, (now, I have a heavy plastic pad under the chair between the rug and rollers), and after awhile, 'that' got soaked too!!
Wife looked at it and concluded that my leg was 'leaking from a pore'..
So, I told her that it was my 'weep hole', (just like the new cars have a weep hole in the brake resevoir so you cant over fill it) LOL... She didnt think that was very funny, but, it is to ME!!! 
(Eye Ball Roll Please ROTFLOL).
So, for two days now, its been 'weeping', and I have to put a towel under my feet, cause it actually will soak the plastic platform and run down it, puddling!!
Last night, I had her get a towel and put some masking tape around it and my leg so that I dont soak the bed around my feet.
(Dont know, but, since its 'body fluids'' comingg out, there has to be salts, and amino acids or some other such thing, Im figuring, and when it starts to 'biodegrade', it may 'smell', and I dont want my matreess to start stinking... Wife will toss it out and get me another one if it does, simply because of my asthma and COPD, and Im sensitive to odors... (yes, some cooking odors will send me into coughing fits, even though Im in the living room and perfume? It simply shuts down my lungs entirely if its strong enough!!).
Im wondering how long this 'hole' will weep, but, as I told my Wife, its one way to get water out of my system LOL....
She is wanting to put me back into the Hospital to get me 'tapped'.. I nixed THAT idea RIGHT NOW!! Forty-three days in those places, and Im a basket case now, I cant even fathom how weak I would be if I went in again!!! No, I will let it leak and see how long it continues... But, I will let the Doctor know about it, when I make an appoiontment with my 'regular' Family Doctor.
I actually got on the Treadmill last night. It was only about 15 seconds worth of walking, at a snails crawl, but, its a start
Yes, I was totally exhausted and had to be helped on and off, (didnt realize that that puppy was so high off the ground!!).
Today, after I go to the Pain Center, and come back, Im going to try for 30 seconds LOL... I gotta do something to start getting back into shape again...(NO, Round is NOT the shape I want to be in anymore, sheesh!).
I found out something about those new 'pens' for my Diabetes... I have to wait for six seconds, when I press the plunger in, (top of the pen), for ALL the medicine to go in... Ive been doing like the Nurses do, hit it and git it, and, it turns out, I havent been putting the required dose into me like it should have been doing!!!
These things only have 100 units in them, and I have to put 45 units in each night from one pen, so, thats two and a smidgen doses from one pen, and it turns out, that the plunger shows after it gets so 'empty' ...
Well, we took two more out of the fridge, and my Wife says that there are still some left in this one, and I said its not possible, cause I took the 100 units already!!
Well, lo and behold, 'she' read the instructions an found out I was doing it wrong all this time...(as was the Nurses who was giving me all those shots too!!)...
So, now I do it 'right'...and maybe my eyes will stop unfocusing all the time, for now on??? Yes, Im having trouble seeing a lot... (Actually, reading, because my eyes keep going unfocused, like Im taking my glasses off and cant see for a hoot!!). Tough playing the game of Evony when it does...
I heard during a commercial for some Drug Company that Diabetes will 'do that' to eye sight.. Yea, just what I need NOW... BLAST IT!!! I know of a guy who went blind, because he woulnt stop drinking beer, when he got diabetes, and I DONT want to do THAT!!! Especially, when this is only supposed to be temperary while the steroids are still being administered via pill form, for a month or less....
OK, 'nuff of my whinning for a bit...
Gotta eat breakfast and Im gonna enjoy it...!
I wish you well...
