Them Bones, Them Bones, Them Dusty Bones



Well, it appears I have full blown Osteoporosis! Not a tad, not just a the start of, not a little...but the full thing. I could break a finger just by picking my nose...were I so inclined, which I am not! Soooooooo..more drugs! Woohoo! Between Jim and me, we are going to get our cheques assigned..half to Sobeys and half to Shoppers Drug Mart!!!!!

So now I have to take a weekly Osteo pill, three calcium pills a day, and two Vitamin D pills a day. That will supposedly strengthen my bones. So be careful around me people..I am very delicate....hahahahahaha.

Now for Jim's news. His Sugar is way out of control..so he is now on Insulin. He has to inject (jab) himself four times a day. So far it hasn't been working, so he got the amt of insulin increased today...and they will probably increase it again on Wed. It will take about two months to figure out the correct dosage. He takes two types of insulin, because apparently the body produces two types of insulin. So, since his Pancreas are shot all to hell..he has to take both types of insulin. He also has to eat three times a day at approx. the same time each day. However, eating causes his Chronic Pancreatitis to act up. So he has been in pain for the past two days. And his sugar is still high so he is really tired.

All of this is making him quite grouchy as you can well imagine. He's Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. However, he's trying to keep his humour. We are actually in a race now...to see who makes it to the Grave first! Winner loses! hahahahahaha. He's made his plans for when I go, and I've made mine for when he goes. I'm just joking people...don't get offended!

Now..if I go first..Jim is going to leave this house and try to get a Seniors apt for himself and is not interested in getting another woman.

Now..if he goes first...I am going to lose 50 pounds, get all sexy again and put myself out there!!!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well, that's my news for now...and please...try to understand the pain behind the humour. Laughing is the only thing we've got going for us now!

Lots of love

Marsh

Well, I guess we're going to have to wrap you up in bubble-pack from now on. The hardest part will be trying to keep people from popping all your bubbles :) I wish there was something that could help Jim - pain all the time must be maddening, for both of you. Maybe things will get better when the blood sugar issue gets settled.
And, NanNan - just spit it out - she's a grouchy "pile if dust" (according to Jamie) :)

Excuse me..I never said I was grouchy. Those of you who know me know I am never grouchy...It's Jim who is grouchy.
Just wanted to clear that up.
