Mrs. Duck's Story

Smoking Duck · December 03, 2008, 01:27:45 PM

Most of you know that I'm pretty rough on Mrs. Duck, so I thought I'd let her tell the story of how we met........

Buddy, I have dug a hole so far down, I think I'm starting to come up the other side ;D

Is it getting obvious that I'm bored outta my skull by not working? ;) ;D

Hang in there Duck.

I'm doing okay, guys. Just bored numbless most days. There is only so many things you can do around the house. I do have to go to the docs today, though. Think I might have diabetes. I pee about 14 times a day and there are numerous times I get really light-headed. Happened twice when I fell down and have a bigtime family history of it. So, we'll see.

As far as the wife and I go, she's known me long enough that I like to play with her about all sorts of things. She just usually shakes her head at me but it's all good.

That is the only thing that counts between a man and a woman.

Amen, Olds! She tolerates me but it works very well between us.

I agree with Olds... That's all that matters! ;)

Good luck with your Doc visit. Even if you do in fact have diabetes it's best to know so you can look after it and keep things in check.

Hopefully it all works out SD. We are all thinking about ya! ;)

Going to the bathroom all the time and always being thirsty are two big signs of high blood sugar. I have been diabetic for about eight years now. Thats how I found out I had it. I mentioned to my dad about running to the bathroom and always drinking water and I used his meter to test myself. Next day I was at the doctors. (BTW, both my dad and grandad have/had diabetes.) I'm not sure about the light-headed feeling. When I get light-headed or feeling shakey it is normally because my blood pressure is too low or my blood sugar is real low. I'm sure the doc will get it figured out for you.
Good luck,

I think toleration is a noun that explains how most women put up with us pretend to be grownups. But then again, that same "most" probably came into the transaction knowing what to expect. There's that old joke: a man comes into a relationship expecting that a woman won't change and a woman comes into a relationship expecting that the man will change.

Hope all works out on the health front, Duck. BTW that Italian Grill book is pretty good. Can't wait to try some of the recipes.

Take care.

Hope your doctor's visit went well.

Smoking Duck · December 04, 2008, 02:08:14 PM

Well, they made me pee and took lots of blood. My grandmother and uncle both died from complications of diabetes. When I was a kid, I suffered from hypoglycemia (If you can call it suffering; I was allowed all the ice pops and lollipops that I wanted ;D). The doc said that the light-headedness probably comes from hypoglycemia but that it could be a precursor for diabetes. I should know better tomorrow or the next day but it's all good still. Walking on this side of the grass versus the other seems to make everything else seem okay. Doc did say he wanted me to lose some weight (I got measured today at 6'2" and 248.8 pounds which I think is perfect if I was still playing ball; unfortunately, that stopped a long time ago). He wants me to work out more and start drinking diet pop. I HATE DIET POP! He didn't say anything about not eating smoked foods, though, so I'm good to go there ;) :D

Hope it all works out for you. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, I never heard of it turning into diabetes which is hyperglycemia or high bloodsugar. But I'm sure he knows much more about it than I do. He probably checked your A1C which gives an average sugar reading over the past couple months. I take several shots/per day now. I started just with oral meds but now it is progressing and the oral meds are not enough anymore. You may be able to control yours with just diet, some people can do that.
Good luck,
