Thank you, good people of the OGniverse. For dropping in with the good vibes, and well wishes. I’m sharing my ‘learning experience’ with folks here on OG mainly because everyone was so great, and stepped up to help this ol fart get things back right! ‘This grows for you’! …to rephrase an old commercial saying lol. Budweiser I think.
I’m still rocky from that episode Thursday, but getting back. I did manage to go to the barn and water/feed all plants, as well as take a few pics. Even if I did have to sit down 5-6 times during the process! Damn, I hate getting old! Think I’ll just reveg!
edit… If only! right?

What was your sugar level, if you don’t mind saying. My wife’s is usually around 150, even using her meds. When she gets to feeling bad, it’s usually well over 200. Sometimes pushing 300.

right at that 300…doc said the ‘norm’ is 110 or 120… I forget which.
A1C was just over 10
edit… But, there were aggravating circumstances. Other ailments exacerbating things.
They ran a shit-ton of tests, EKG, Catscan, Xray, blood, urine, etc get results at doc’s office Tuesday

Yeah man. 300 ain’t good. Much higher and you woulda been checking into the hospital. Zee got to I think about 350 and they put in for a couple days. Take care brother. And do what the Dr tells you! I know your type. You’re like me, hard headed as the day is long. But really, do what he says and don’t forget to take the meds if he gave you some. Diabetes ain’t nothing to play with.

Oh, I’m being good…ish lol taking the meds and only drinking 2&1/2 cups of black coffee daily instead of 2 & 1/2 pots. Not bothering any sweets etc
My pops and grampa both had it, along with all my siblings. I’m the oldest of 6. I know diabetes well, pop was shooting the max insulin daily. It didn’t show up in me until after I fell those 3 stories shattering 4 verts and getting laid up for a few years.
edit… Well, not ‘laid up’ but not working much and still eating like I did before the fall lol

I feel you on the coffee bit, man I drink that stuff like water, literally. One of My yeti mugs never leaves my side, has become part of my outfit now and I’m actually known for it by friends/family and people in my neighborhood from walking my dog with it always in my hand day or night lol. Feel better my friend. I too hate growing old, but thank God for the natural medicine I use daily or life would be much , MUCH different on opioids or possibly dead or in a wheel chair permanently from back surgery….

I thought that was normal? I pull up a 5g bucket, light a bowl and start watering. 5G bucket is much more comfy than the ground… Of course, I then spend the next 20 mins looking at my ladies… still sitting down, probably with another packed bowl, or two…

Sounds like my watering program.

I usually manage to do it with short breaks, sitting in a chair I have in each room. It took twice as long this morning, so I was bummed…

Lets put the positive spin on that… You got to spend twice as much time enjoying the beauty of your ladies 
Soaking up their scents… Enjoying nature

i have read that strains with higher thcv are good for diabetes, my wifes numbers came down when she started smoking once a day, but we think that was from stress reduction .
Hope all is well in Whosville

JohnyP take care of yourself. Best wishes from my garden to yours! Sugar is the devil! All sweet and tasty on the outside, killin us on the inside. They hide that shit in almost everything, including half the things they claim are healthy for us. I’ll stop my rant there and just say…
Be strong willed, cause we all know you are, and do whats right for YOU!
