I would consider myself pretty lucky. Through my faith and my family I have been able to over come life's trials and tribulations. I am still here after an IED blast in Iraq, getting dianosed with a kidney disease. But today I got the call that I have to go back in tomorrow for conformation of Diabetes.:sigh:

Hey Chuck

Its not the end of the world. The only thing with diabeties is your going to have to watch what you do and eat. Monitoring your blood sugar isn't that difficult and sometimes lifestyle changes need to be done.

Thoughts and prayers from SD.

One more blow, eh? You MUST be tough, since life seems to be dealing you so many.

I agree with Lars though, we have several friends with diabetes, and they seem pretty "frisky"! It's a pain though to have to be so concerned about what you eat.

My thoughts are with you, Brother.

After x-rays and cat scans, according to the reports my internals look remarkable and my other results are back to normal. I have ask for me to be returned to duty, so I can continue with my life. Thanks for all the prayers from everybody. And to people that don't think they work BLAH.:happy-dancing:

I would have to fight my wife for them and at 90 pounds she would win when it comes to a Zero bar.:giggle:
