It is my son's birthday. This picture is more than 30 years old and was given as a Mother's Day present during his elementary school years.

He is spending today in a hospital working to get his health under control. Potassium and blood sugar are heading towards more normal ranges but not great yet. He got to eat some real hospital food yesterday after a couple days on a clear diet of broth and juices. Hopefully he will be home soon. Managing the diabetes that he has developed and that runs in my family will be his new challenge. 

In other news around here...

...there is no other news. We are retired and a bit boring. Computer, creating, reading, house chores, meals and a movie after dinner. Each day blending into the next. I am not complaining at all. I rather like when life is a bit boring.

We did watch the movie Barefoot on Prime Video last night. I really enjoyed it and Jim liked the parts he was awake for.

Going to get my second cup of coffee and start retweeting all those folks who have done the same for me in the last 24 hours. Do you follow me on twitter? You could say hello in a comment here on the blog. 

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

New Challenges for My Son

I got some worrying news last night. My son ended up in an emergency room. His blood sugar was sky high. I didn't know it, but he had been having some classic symptoms for diabetes. So, know he knows why he has been feeling so bad and struggling with fatigue and thirst. This has set his life on a new, but manageable path.

He didn't know it, but this runs in our family. Grandmother, aunts, uncles and siblings all have this disease. I have been told I am prediabetic for more than 20 years now. I would love to stay in that stage and avoid all the testing and medicines for as long as I can. 

He was told yesterday that he will be in the hospital a couple days so he can be treated and started on his new regimen. Of course, he is not happy and is facing a life going forward looks much different to him now. He, however, is a smart guy and will figure this out. His wife is a good partner for him and together there is not much they can't do.

So today, no cheery silly post, but rather a bit of serious news that I wanted to make note of here.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!
