Looking Up

May you walk with the Lord today!

Howdeeee,

I went to the doctor yesterday for a recheck on my diabetes.  In six weeks with meds and diet, I lowered my cholesterol from 234 to 117!!!  My doc and nurse were celebrating!  Everything else  looked good too.  When I said I have had some trouble keeping to my diabetic diet completely, my doctor said he recently had an angioplasty and discovered if he didn't change his diet, he literally would die!  He has to eat similarly to me, so was able to boost my confidence that I can do it.  He agreed it is a real change, but a needed one.  He is one year older than me, and we often commiserate about the downsides of getting old  lol. 

I got some wheat gluten and am going to try to make my own vegetarian meat that can be used as a chop, steak, strips or chumks similar to ground hamburger.  I'll probably take it to church this Sabbath as we will be having a small potluck.  I hope I like it, because the gal that sent the recipe says it is so much cheaper than buying premade vegetarian stuff, and it fits into my diet much better than beef or chicken.

My left knee is really hurting today.  I must have twisted it or something.  I'm using my walker as it takes a little stress off of my leg as opposed to just using my cane.  It usually only needs a day or two of pampering until it goes back to jusy my usual level of pain.

So, off to my afternoon snack and crocheting.  It has been snowing off and on this afternoon.  Quite chilly outside, but the snow is so pretty--and even more pretty because I didn't have to go out today! 

Take care everyone.
