With the hemoglobin test still pending, I did get a pretty good bill of health from the doctor today.

Height - 5'9"

Weight - 154 lbs., stripped (down from 210 lbs. in July '06)

Waist - 31.5"

Pulse - 88

BP - 106/40

Temp - 97.5F

Fasting blood sugar - 91 mg/dl

Urine protein - negative

Urine sugars - negligible

Ketones - tolerable

Vision - corrected - 20/10

In fact, my blood sugar log is so good that the Dr. pretty much said an A1C is not really needed right now. As soon as I can swing it though, I'm going to have it and have a T. count as well.

The only problem is the "kennel cough" and the sinus infection, which is treatable. This time it isn't going to turn into pneumonia!

Those are great numbers. You have to be doing a lot of things very right. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the great numbers. I have just recently climbed back on the good health bandwagon. Now would be a good time to sell McDonald's stock before it plummets.

Paolo, my resident expert tells me those numbers anen't just good they're better than good! I'm so glad to hear that. --FLO--

Those are very good numbers,Paolo. From a fighting machine you have become the famous "lean and mean" fighting machine.

Now with that 20/10 vision,can you see around a corner? H.

I thought 20/10 meant "Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear."

I'd say it means that with the unchanged lens prescription, my vision has improved since July.
