MARY: Faith and I must have been responding to you at the same time. It goes without saying that I am also available for E-mail contact. Faith would be a real good person for you to converse with she is a real special person. Herb (Bear)

MARY: Even though it may not appear so right now we are really a caring bunch of people here and are very sorry to hear of your situation with your brother. If you are a religious person it would no doubt be good for you to pray for him. As to the decision on the life support that decision should have been up him. Did he leave a living will??? If not did he ever express his feelings regarding a situation like this. If he did neither of these you and the rest of the family are unfortunately going to have to make a tough decision as to what to do. My thought and prayers go out to you and all the family.

OK Marc, one more time. I DO NOT HAVE ANY KIDS and never did, so I don't know what you mean. You say you have done the work you needed to do. Was your work to upset this place and attack a single woman? Big man you are! Know what? I would never hit you because I don't want any of your crap to splash off onto me. Turd.

Lets see, I will try to do this in order. Shery? or Sheri? The Dale E Sheri that used to come here had a SON that was diabetic. But we all knew that didn't we? I have no clue what a BEEJESUS is so no I probably wouldn't want it slapped outta me? I don't PREACH anything, just suggest. And I didn't say my life was tough, I said this morning was tough. Now that I have done the work I needed to do, it is 78 and sunny so it's time to go even out my tan I started working on yesterday. Sorry if you had any false hopes that I may banter with you all day. But it's been raining so much that I need to take time out of my hectic computer/golfing schedule and lay out in the sun for a while. But thanks for reminding me, I need to make a tee time for Thursday, wanna join me?.... Later...

My Sheri (yeah, right), you certainly use a different spelling than you used to. Have you tried stand up, you would be good at it. You got me in stitches today. You know me, the harrasser of all women, aint that my reputation on this board? Man, I needed a good laugh today, you just broke up a tough morning for me, thank you.

It just so happens that he was my hero you idiot. Now PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE! Do you harass all the females on here, or are you trying to force me out? Just stop your childish behaviour RIGHT NOW!

Entertainment at it's finest. Instead of a Dave's top ten list, I did a Marc's one response that would come out, that of being accused of these AP's. I have never in my life seen a more predictable person. Faith... I saw your post about the pump, seems your having more trouble then usual with that. I haven't had one connect problem, but as Sam said, human error is possible. At least they make up for it with another box. Things are going good for me, this is the critical time now where I find out if I will stay on it long term, this is when my absorbtion problems will show up. I like my 110 average so hopefully I can stay on it.... Take it easy... and YES, FAKE SHERI.... you really don't think Sheri would show up after all these months, and only have one thing to say, that of Dale E, who you should show some respect for since he recently died.

On Tue Apr 17 11:39:01 2001 Sheri (no) said:
FAKE Sheri? What the hell are you talking about. Do I have to change my name to be on here? I don't know what your problem is but I don't know you and will you please leave me alone?

Marc W. how's the pump going? Any trouble? Besides the trouble Sunday with the tubing, Ralph and I are still on good terms. Norma - Gordo is giving you good advise. Please listen to him. Re: Apr 16 18:18:20 - Don't judge us all by the few who make no sense at all!

Looking for info on Charcot foot? Just type it into any search engine as I did. Exite found 330,000+ hits on it. So info is readily avaiable.

On Mon Apr 16 23:05:45 2001 Norma () said:
Thanks everyone for your advice. Gordo, I was planning on a liquid diet for a couple of days, maybe oatmeal + water for a few days and then a low fat diet. I was on Atkins diet for 4 days and thats when I started throughing up and sent to the HOspital. My tryglicerides and cholestero were SUPER high and the next day, they dropped , but they were still high. I started to take chromium, omega, vitamin E and Centrum. Also, started excercising. By the way, I am not Fat!!! But I guess that I am not eating well at all. I worry about all the sweeling because it may be my kidneys (and also a little drinking and smoking during easter vacation).

Does anyone on here have information on Charcot foot, or know of a website with info? I had one toe amputated last October due to infection, it healed fine, then I went back to a regular shoe and the foot literally split apart into three pieces (around the arch). Had three pins put in on 12/6/00, and had them removed 6 weeks ago. Was on crutches through the first of March and also in a 3-D boot. There had been plenty of good bone growth and the doc let me start wearing a regular shoe last Tuesday. I wore a shoe for that one day and now the foot has "shifted" (his words) and isn't stable...doesn't seem to be holding up the weight of walking, so I'm back in the immobile boot. The x-rays taken last Tuesday were the second ones since the pins have come out and were the first ones taken after I'd worn a regular shoe for the day. A few of the orthopedic surgeons consulted and feel that it is a case of Charcot, but they hesitate to give me any indication of how this may heal or how long it may take. I go back for more x-rays and to see the doctor in one week, just to see how it's doing. I'd appreciate any info on Charcot foot that you have. Thanks!

"Why is any particular behavior wrong?" How do we decide what things are right and wrong? Doe we leave it up to each individual or to a certain group or to society in general? If we follow any of these courses, we will soon find that our moral standard changes depending on what the current opinion is. This has always been our problem, trying to direct our own steps apart from the Law of God. Jer. 10:23. In order to know if anything is right or wrong, we must be willing to follow an objective standard that is outside of ourselves, the Bible. It is God who has created us and has given us a Law by which we should live. His commands are for our good and it is our purpose to submit to Him so that He may be honored by our lives. Eccl. 12:13-14. When we violate His Law, it is wrong, sin. God is the one who decides what is wrong, since He is our Creator and possesses all wisdom and power. Psalm 51, especially verses 1-4, Romans 3:23, 1 John 3:4, James 2:1-13.

Norma: There are many things that can cause your problems. These should be discussed fully with your doctor and your nutritionist. You didn't mention OTC drugs and Rx drugs like beta blockers, estrogen, and prednesone, smoking, excessive alcohol use, weight gain, fat intake from diet, stress, exercise, and numerous other variables. Switching to a balanced healthy diet will not hurt anybody but it is a rather slow way to get control of your problems. Do exactly as your doctor prescribes and if you have doubts, get a second opinion from another doctor. In your case, and your current conditions, the choice of a good cardiologist that understands insulin dependent diabetes, or an endocrinologist that understands cardiology. As a start, from a nutrition standpoint, obtain nutritional help. Cut your intake of saturated fat with no red meat for a while, skinless baked or broiled chicken or turkey breast, baked and eat broiled cold water fish 3 times per week, increased soluble fiber from oatmeal, beans, peas, and asparagus for the natural way of reducing your triglycerides and cholesterol. A reduced level of caloric intake of balanced nutrients is the best way to keep those numbers down. Increased weight gain also lets your insulin efficacy decline thus causing the need for increased insulin. There are many supplemental ways of helping reduce your high numbers but balanced nutrition is still the best. Anything else should come from your doctors who can adequately monitor your condition. Never self-administer diuretics as they severly change your electrolyte balance and can result in death far faster than many other treatments. Only your doctor can prescribe this and other drug treatments for your symptoms. Please do not self treat your conditions by following comparative advice, even mine. Nutritional balance and caloric limitation, without the use of fads or "miracle cures" are beneficial to everybody. Gordo

Pumpers, I got another one of those quick release that wouldn't reconnect. What a waste of insulin. Couldn't disconnect from the syringe either. Contacted MiniMed and they are sending me a new box. This is the third time I've had this happen. Some of you may remember the first time put me into a DKA, and was in the hospital for five days. My BG's are doing great. Hope you all had a great Easter. We sure did!

On Mon Apr 16 07:00:37 2001 Sam (raneysam@yahoo.com) said:
Norma..ever consider the insulin pump? Sounds like you were in DKA (diabetic-keto-acidosis)..been there also. Only one solution but the pump helps me keep even sugar levels. Still have complications but an easier life. This is not a "live" chat (almost, sometimes) but we all check & write here, off & on thru the day.

On Mon Apr 16 00:52:33 2001 () said:
Norma..also suggest you really follow what your Doctor suggests and not just the advice you will get from some of the Chat Doctors we have here...

Well, I guess everyone's asleep by now. I'm a little worried. I'm 26, diabetic type I diagnosed at age 21. I hadn't been feeling very well lately and about a week and a half ago. I started trhoughing up in the morning. When I went to the dr. he sent me straight toi the hospital. My tryglicerides and cholesterol skyrocketed and my bs was 296 , llow blood pressure and heart palpitations. I was there for 3 days and after that , about three days later my feet started swelling. Does anyone have this problem???? And does anyone know of any natural products for high cholesterol and tryglicerids???

Well, today was a beautiful day if you like a cloudy and rainy day with lots of high winds. I stayed at home today and worked on my SEIDA paper work and web page and now I'm getting ready to work on my family history research for the rest of the evening. Dinner is over and the kitchen cleaned up and the rest of the evening is mine to do what I want with it. I think I might take a break about 9 p.m. to watch "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". That will give me a break so I can start back fresh after that and work till bedtime. Oh, my BS was 131 this morning.
