Hi Helen, an insulin drip is just insulin in an iv. They used it on me

during my time in the hospital after my kidney transplant to bring my sugar

back into control.

Good luck!

I used to do Tai Chi -- until I came down with Frozen Shoulder a

couple years ago. I can't help thinking it contributed to the

condition somehow -- all that stretching in odd positions. ;-'

I liked it while I was doing it tho. Found my balance improved.

These days I walk, usually a couple miles a day. I'm trying to

increase that, tho, to lose some weight. Cutting back on food just

isn't doing it for me.

Depression works wonders for losing weight, but I wouldn't recommend

it to my worst enemy. I dropped 30 lbs. when my father died a year

ago, which kicked me into a clinical depression that I struggled

along with for six months or so, until I got on Paxil and

Wellbutrin. Best thing that ever happened to me -- I got

my " appetite for living " back. ;-j Including those 30 lbs.

So it's " walkies " again for me.

Helen, I'm glad, happy, elated that your son is ok! I pray for the police and

military

everyday. I owe so much to them. My safety and my freedoms!

Yes, I'll be in Mc on the 18th...the good Lord willing! I'm trying my best

to get some

of my chapter to come with me. Karla used to be on this list, but she has to

teach that

day. Some kind of extra tutoring for her students. She teaches in San Benito in

one of the

poorest schools and man, do those kids need prayers and encouragement! They're

sure

not getting it at home, evidently. The school has some kind of extra tutoring

and she does

that every Monday, Tuesday after school and now for the next 9 Saturdays! All

day! She

never gets to rest or have any time off! I'm hoping somehow she will be able to

come. I

want her to meet you and Melody!

One of the ladies in my chapter is a winter tourist. She is a clown back up

north, so she

should be able to fit right in with our theme.
