Happy July 4th

Just when you think you know how your body works...Ever since me and Mr.Diabetes have been "friends", I've always had a fair idea of what he's up to. The early morning highs, the mid morning lows,...

What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?Just a thought...

I woke up this morning with someone else's hand attached to the end of my right arm.My real hand, the one that works properly and doesn't ache and allows me to sign my name without looking like a bad...
