Thanks
Hi Lisa, thanks for commenting on my journal about my cousin. He's doing better and better every day. He's out of ICU now and having his 10th surgery on his leg today. But he's talking more and pretty aware now. They even had him eating, although he wouldn't each much so they had to put the feeding tube back in. They're doing some physical therapy with him now too. The staff there have performed miracles! He's not only alive, but they saved his leg! I hope you are doing well and not having a lot of pain and fatigue. Gentle hugs, Donna

I've had type 1 IDDM for 35 years now. Been on insulin since day 1. Ive become "unresponsive" 1 time in 2003. That was a very strange experience.

The only problem I have is retinopathy. I'm totally blind in my right eye. It is a challenge due to having FMS, CFS, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis.
