Connie,
I’m talking Shapiro’s at noon on Saturday the 19th - not the 12th. So we
could have a heat wave by then!!My meeting is there at 9:00 a.m. - until
11-11:30. Hope it’s good.

CONNIE,
If YOU have ANY say-so, Please, please, please, hold off on the snow for the
weekend. I want the 150 miles worth of roads to all be clear between here
and there. We have had many predictions that have bypassed us. Maybe that
will change for you Sat. (and us). We’re going to Fort Wayne for our
granddaughters’s FIRST BIRTHDAY Saturday (2/12). Ohhh, but we’re having
fun - do you see that time flying??
MORE BIG advantages: adjust the basal if needed (continuous rate delivered
my a MiniMed pump in 1/10-unit increments) over a period of time; AND/OR
give any size bolus (spurt all at once like a shot) when needed. Using
Humalog means it begins working in 5-15 minutes. That’s why you eat when you
want - bolus = eat. No bolus = no eat. I have always said that when you
inject NPH in of a morning and your plans change later, there is NO WAY to
suck it back out. You live by the peaking of the NPH. The pump is tweaked as
needed. 8^) It’s like a new baby = it’s not perfect, but you love it

All I really need to know about Life, I learned from Noah’s Ark:
(1) Don’t miss the boat.
(2) Don’t forget we’re all in the same boat.
(3) Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the
ark.
(4) Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might
ask you
to do something really big.
(5) Don’t listen to critics. Just get on with what has to
be
done.
(6) For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
(7) Two heads are better than one.
(8) Build your future on high ground.
(9) Speed isn’t always an advantage; after all, the

If anyone from the list is near Indianapolis Saturday, February 19, I’ll be
there about noon at Shapiro’s Deli, 800 block S. Meridian. OF COURSE it
depends on the weather and roads. I’ll be wearing a bright yellow blazer
with black trim.
E-mail me privately so I’ll know what to expect. A few others from some
other DM-type lists may gather also.

:
At a computer expo 1997 (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly
compared the computer industry with the auto industry and
stated:
“If GM had kept up with technology like the computer
industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000
miles to the gallon.”
GM released the following statement:
“Yes, but would you want a car that crashed twice a day?”

We went to the hosp. at the appointed time. They asked what procedure I was
having. I said I did not know - I had asked and they just said be there at
11:00. The lady asked when my surgery was - was the lab work done. I said I
was going through testing to get listed for a kptx. She said she needed
help. Came back and told me to go to window #4. I did and that lady asked
why I was there. (duh)
Then she left and came back and said you are having carotid artery ultra
sound and instructed us where to go. I get lost SO easily so made sure Mr.
Jan followed the green stripe like she said. We got in the elevator and I
had no clue what floor. (duh)
Had the easy 20-30 min. procedure and the gal said, “You’re done.”
(results will be at heartologist’s Friday)
About 3:00 p.m. the hosp. called. The gal said, “Did you know you were
to have a leg ultrasound today?” “No.” She called because I didn’t show up
and wondered where I was.

today. Hope it continues.

MEDICAL HUMOR
I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity
test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began,
“Cover your right eye with your hand.” He read the 20/20 line
perfectly. “Now your left.” Again, a flawless read. “Now both,” I
requested. There was silence. He couldn’t even read the large E on
the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what
I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was
laughing too hard to finish the exam.
