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...

I went Thursday to the YMCA!!
Of course, I felt totally exhausted and looked like Death warmed over LOL...but, I also felt that I had accomplished something important... like, getting back into the groove, and making important strides in my bid for getting healthy again.
I went to the Doctor, (new Family Doctor for me, but, the same one who was taking care of me in the Hospital and Acuity), on Friday, and he was very impressed that I have done well
...
My Bloodwork came back and everything was 'in order'... up to snuff and all that...
He was also happy that my legs were 'down', (well, anything is always better than what it was, when I first went into the Hospital, and he was comparing this visit to that first one, where he first met me).
He did finally reduce my Steroid down to 5mg per day...(was 60mg when I first started, as I looked at the original bottle last night and though, sheesh!! That was HIGH!!). He said it was such a low dose that it was 'insignificant'...oh yea? Its still enough to keep that 'moon face' going, Im betting!! Also, he said if my lungs started to get 'worse', that I was to increase my steroid ... Yea, like im REALLY going to do THAT!! SHEESH!!!!! What do these Doctors have against antibiotics??? If I had known the silly lung Doctor was giving me stariods and what they would do to my body, I would have smacked that rascal in the head and walked out of his office!!! Yea, I know, stupid me... With the advent of the Internet, I could of looked up the name of what ever drug they gave me, but, im a trusting idiot, and thought that the Doctors would have my best interest at heart... I was wrong!! Any idiot that would prescribe anyone steroids, aint all there...
Especially when this lung Doctor would tell me that the moon, stars, and sun affects my health, and if some one farts in thier space suit on the moon, it affects me down on Earth... oooookkkkkk... This guy must of been a hippie at one time, or maybe got his degree at Berkley in California where all the other nuts come from, sheesh!!! (Yea, I know about those Universities from the 60s, as the drug culture really permeated all those places way back when, and, though I wasnt into drugs back then, I was aware of the snennanagans going on with the hippies and weirdos as we referred to them...). (By the way, this paragraph was added, so, its not going to be chronological with the rest of the story, so, just look at it as an add on, or, run on sentence ...ENGLISH TEACHERS...RUNNN!!!!!! Save yourselves from my insanity and follishness!!! LOL).
It was funny in a way... His Nurse was going to take my blood pressure and all that, (the vitals as they call it here), and he said for her to just forget it (?)... He, (the Doc), told her I was his 'pet project' ROTFLOL... I said, "does that make me a 'lab rat'??? LOL So, she apologised that she couldnt assist me in my medical issues, and I said it was 'ok' LOL...
We started chatting, and the Doc asked my Wife how she met me...(I really think he feels sorry for her, having to put up with me.. really I do LOL_), and she said she had to go to North Carolina to meet me, and didnt even like me then...(I also said, I wasnt sure if she still likes me now LOL...but, she puts up with me, and decided to keep me...Didnt tell him that she must of been slumming that day, I think).
She also said she was dating my Brother when I got home from the Marines, and I told him, its just cause he was working at a bakery and kept bringing her donuts!!! Wimmin, they are nothing but opportunistic, when it comes to glazed donuts ROTFLOL ... She said, I told him I 'saw her first' LOL... OK, so I did!!
It all worked out for the best, I got the best gal and married her, and she got the best of the three boys, she claims, and married me... (puts ace wrap on arm from patting myself on the back so much
ROTFLOL!!).
Today, being Saturday, I went back to the YMCA again! I wasnt as exhausted as I was on Thursday, and the Receptionist said my 'color' looked a lot better today, then when she first saw me last week!! Looked like I was at the beach she said... hmmm told her if I was, I was the only one who would get a tan, (referencing that song, FAT by Weird Al Yankovich!! Yea, I think its halarious, but, then I do have a warped sense of humor at times LOL...). Well the main thing is, I have more energy today, and wasnt as exhausted as Thursday, so Im doing a whole lot better now!
My Son, is going to go and get some 55 gallon barrels today. He is going to sgtart making 'armour' for his 'ye men of olde' or the knight in shinning armour thing that he wants to delve into... Been perusing the Internet and looking at various YouTube viceos on how to make this or that, and downloading instructions on how to make armour, and has apparently found the one he wants to try and make, so, he is going to get the barrels today and in another month or two, staart whacking away at the barrels, cutting them up and grinding them, and shaping them into something that will protect him from the rattan swords they use in sword fighting, doing ye merry men and thier lady friends LOL.
I will be helping him a lot on this project, just like I did the chain maile project, but, at least it brings me closer to my Son... Just wish I could find something that would bring me closer to my Daughter... Eventually, she will need me to help her with something, hope its not too late, while I am still above ground!! sheesh...
OK, Daughter has gone to her boyfriends house, and my Son is almost out the door, so, when they are both gone, my Wife wiill help me with my shower!! Now THAT is something, I hope to do on my own soon... Take a bath!! But, until I start losing some weight again, (way above 350 now), and can get out of the tub by myself again, Im forced to shower! I dont think it will be too long, now, since Im bacck at the YMCA to lse the weight again...Especially, since I dont drink any ice tea or kool aide, my biggest nemisis against my weight loss before!
OK, gonna end this for another day, and play some freecell or just read some bloggs, and see what i can get into now...
I wish you well....
