I have a total of 5 stents. 3 put in in 2012 first 2 were thru the leg. That sucked. But it was winter. 3rd one went thru arm was home same day no restrictions. I had 2 more put in Dec 5 2017 at 3 in the morning thru the arm and was home by noon no restrictions.

Dan dont try and do this by yourself. I was told I was borderline for 2 years. I cut back on my sugar thinking that would suffice. But nope my last a1c test was 7.5. My Doc set me up with a Diabetic Clinic for a 5 week course 21/2 hrs each week. A diabetic nurse taught us all about diabetis and a dietician taught what we could eat and the portions sizes. My wife attended the classes also (she said she cooks for two so she wanted to do it right) I learned you need to eat 3 meals a day and have a snack before you go to bed. The dietician set me up 4 carbs breakfast, 3 carbs lunch, 4 carbs dinner and 2 carbs snack at bed time. You need to eat protien with your carbs. Im on a 2100 calories a day I have lost 29 pounds so far thats more than 10% of my weight so far. I eat everything I did before, but now in the right portions. My blood sugar levels have fallen and have been staying below 110. I go back end of march for a a1c test and see how IM doing. Its not as hard as I thought it would be. Good luck. P.S. join a support group I did they meet once a month. You can learn allot and also get some great recipes and tips.

Did I see Flip Wilson in there towards the end?

Sharon and I are getting ready to leave here in a few. We will be caging it. We have to go to Branson and pickup daughters boyfriend and take him to airport in Springfield. Once we drop him off we will head down. Should be there around noon. John

Had great visit with Don and Patti. They got here yesterday afternoon. We went out to dinner and then came home and kicked back on the deck. They left this morning for Branson to spend a few days at the Big Ceder Lodge then on to Eureka Springs. Hopefully we will see them there. John

A razor hasnt touched my face since Nov 3, 1978. Thats the day I got out of the Army. My wife has never seen me with out a beard. Sometimes I let it grow out in the winter but most times I keep it short. I like mine between 1/4 to 1/2 inch long.

Here is what I started on. Started riding on the street at 151/2. This bike was street legal. Rode it till my senior year in high school. Bought a honda 360 and rode that till I went into the service after graduation.

I stopped in and saw Lowell just before B2 Mom and Dads meet and eat in may. The wife and I visited for a bit. He is still having health issues but is doing well. John

I have had weak enamel on my teeth my whole life. In my 20s I had 13 teeth crowned. When I had my car accident in 07 I knocked out 5 of my front teeth. That left me with 23 teeth left. I went to Dentist and was told all my crowns needed replaced and needed some other teeth crowned plus a bridge for the front teeth. The grand total 32 thousand. I went and had all my teeth pulled and dentures made at a cost of 4800 dollars. I waited 6 months after having teeth pulled before had dentures made. They fit like a glove after 3 years and like Eck I can eat anything. I can at a later date have metal implant bars put in to snap my dentures to but that isnt cheap either. John

Nope I was in TN with you my wife was home by her self. John

The service tech installed a new capacitor. Then when he tried to fire up the compressor the amp draw climbed sky high and popped my breaker at the electric panel. So he claimed the the compressor was shot.

This last big storm we had our power went off and on like 10 times with in 5 minutes. After that my a/c quit working. I have a Arcoaire YJ High Efficient Heat Pump 4ton. The service tech said that the deice board was bad, a capacitor was bad and my compressor was froze up. He told me that the whole unit needed to be replaced at the tune of 3900 bucks. First off can all these parts be replaced. Second can all these parts all fail at the same time if I didnt have all those power surges within that short time. The reason I ask is if the power surges caused this my home owners ins. will cover it. If they just failed then they wont. Thanks for any help John
