Pseudo Facebook Post About My Dad

I mentioned on here a few months back that my Dad was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and had to spend several days in the hospital before they would release him. His sugar levels were over 700. They though they might take one of his feet due to poor circulation.

Fortunately that didn't happen.

After four days, they let him go home with a bunch of needles, insulin and a best of luck. Not really. He went a few seminars and meetings, but he was was kind of thrown out on his own.

Well, in the two to three months that have followed he's lost about 50 pounds, three pants sizes, five belt notches and his leg that was so swollen and borderline necrotic is normal size. His sugar levels have been below 100 for over 150 meals. He's down from four insulin shots a day to one.

He charts every meal in a three-ring binder like clockwork. He doesn't cheat. He just plugs along.

I'd forgotten how disciplined my Dad can be when he sets his mind to something.

Just wanted to brag on him a bit.
