Don't think that I am not keeping an eye on all of you. Thank you for all the comments and good wishes. I know that all of you know that there is not an ounce of 'stubborn' in me. For some reason this sweet stuff I have just went a little crazy. Caused some suspicious markers and they shook me down. Everything is on the up swing now ... well ... almost everything... an it's just taking a little more time due to the diabetis. A little preventive maintenance surgery was recommended a while back. After weighing the pros and cons and listening to a few family members... one Kalli and several close friends .... they caught me. I am resting at home comfortably and getting some much needed rest. I will start checking in more. Thanks for your friendships and concern ... your buddy.
