The itch is returning

Just when everything is becoming so settled. 

Foot hole closed early January. Wearing custom shoes & orthotics to protect/maintain gains. (Hole in bottom of foot appeared in June, 2013)

Weight loss continuing. Hernia repairs healing nicely. Lost about 57 lbs so far. Doc had asked me to lose 70. 

Diabetes under tightest control since 1996-97 diagnosis. A1c was 7.7. Usually runs 12.7-13.5. Best control in last 2 years (maybe 10'years?) was 10.4 last Jan. And I was pumping so much insulin into me. 

Co-pay on Remicade may be $10. After tricking me into paying $2K, when I showed for appt they collected another $10. 

But the itch might be returning…

And I won't fight it this time. Best to go out when I'm in the best condition of the last 15 years rather than the worst.
