Rash

Its been, what? almost three weeks since I stopped taking the insulin shots, and I still taste it in my mouth!! sheesh!!

I have a rash on my left leg, (the same one where the weephole was, and on the outside as it was also), that is very painful. It showed up about seven days or so, ago... I dont know if its related to that, or not?

Leg is still swollen from water in the muscles, and I havent been to the YMCA in a week now, since that rash showed up...

Wife has been putting some kind of vaseline gel she got from the Hospital on it, and it seems to take the pain away. She put some zinc oxide on it once, (made me gag and puke my guts up,with the smell of that one!!), and it didnt take any pain away, so, never again!

My Son started another batch of tomato plants, since most of his died off, and they are doing GREAT!! He bought trays to put them in, and all sorts of stuff for them, and has about 72 plants going. Figuring we can only use about 20 at the most, my Brother in Law is going to get a huge batch of tomatos, and my Wife is going to expect a lot of tomatos for canning this year

I havent been eating much, lately. I dont know, I just dont 'feel' like eating, and my stomach is all tied up in knots, and cramping a lot. Been eating two pieces of toast and a banana for breakfast, and thats about it for days now... Today, I changed over and ate a small bowl of fruit loops and a banana, and that helped a lot torwards settling my stomach, after I went back to bed for a few hours...(was upset in bed, but, it worked itsself out).

Ive been taking pain meds for my left hip...
Feels like I have arthritus in the silly thing!! Right at the ball joint. Aint anything ever going to go 'right' for me???

Seems every time I get back to the YMCA, something has to interject itself into my life to deter my progress... Going to wait another week, or less, then head back to the 'Y', even if I have to wear long pants to hide the blasted rash, so no one is exposed to it.

Its not contageous or anything, cause my Wife has been putting ointment on it every day, hoping it will get better, but, so far, nothing has happened.

All I know is, I am 'not' going back on insulin shots, to get rid of this thing!!! Im done with that business, and going to the YMCA is one way of staying away from those shots for good. (Getting rid of this weight, goes a long way to preventing me from getting 'sugar' for real).

Wife laid out some dough, and its drying on the table, so, when she comes back from taking my Neighbors to see thier inlaw at the Nursing Home, I will be put to work, cutting the dough into strips for noodles, then, its into the pot for home made chicken noodle soup!!! YUMMY!!!!

By crackey, I may have missed her BBQ Chicken, because I didnt feel like eating, but, those home made noodles and chicken soup is a whole different thing altogether LOL...

OK, going to leave it at that and check back in a few days.

I wish you well...
