Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[sharron]

I always remind myself that it could be worse. There are people dealing with things much harder in this world. I try to be thankful, and look on the bright side, or else I would never get up in the morning.

I'm also grateful for finding BYC. It's nice to be a part of a community of like minded people.

like i said, admire you, i also think of people that have it much worse than i, i'm very lucky, God has been good to me, has always taken care of me.

I have juvenile diabetes. Lots of shots and finger picks here daily. Diabetics are big money makers for the drug companies. I always say they will never find a cure because they would lose all those ridiculous profits. A bottle of synthetic human insulin runs in the hundreds of dollars. When I was a kid a bottle of pig insulin was about 10 bucks. Things have changed. I'm not sure it's any better. I will never know life without diabetes. It makes me so sad.

Sorry, Hen. It must really be miserable. So many people i know are diabetic and eat whatever they want. They really don't understand at all.

I do envy people who can just eat whatever, and whenever. My day is never that simple.

I am going to go out and look at my garden today and see what is left. Should still have taters to dig unless the rain melted them.

And you are the nicest people I have ever met.

My garden is all shut down. I'm on to dreaming of next year, though I think I left a few onions behind. Hope you find yourself a good dinner.

I am slowly improving. Gotta stay off my feet a lot to prevent swelling. Otherwise I'm way ahead on my therapy. This time is so much easier than the last one. It's still hard to sit around half the day. I wanna be doing stuff.
