okay................Enough blogs about my medical condition...Time to get on with the rest of life in general.Besides it is rather boring to read after a while.I finally convinced Denise(or at least I think I have) to switch over to online banking.I did it for years in Canada but she was always leary of it.Of course watching the news about hackers and stuff didn't help.I know after we have used it for a bit she will like it.
I have been watching my hockey team(Vancouver canucks) with interest since the Olympic break and all I can say is that it looks like they have gone into the tank.I mean they really look lost out there sometimes.Except for the Sedin twins and Anson Carter they don't have much confidence.They may not even make the playoffs this year.Perhaps it is time for a wholesale change from top to bottom.This means GM,coach...and a few big name players that have disappeared lately.
Denise and I are looking to buy a digital camera but we are afraid to buy a piece of garbage.it seems a lot of these cameras aren't what they are cracked up to be and we read online that you must be careful what you purchase.
Right now it is time to build and set up Travis's telescope.It is actually quite a nice one that we got him for xmas.It has been very cloudy here this winter so we havent been able to use it.This spring and summer however should be a great time for it though.Trav has a huge curiosity about space,as do i.If we do it right we are going to try to take pics thru it of the Moon,Mars,Venus etc.

hello.......again.........its been a while.It seems my blood sugar is starting to drop a bit.It hovers between 118 and 150 recently.Still need to get it to 100.Thats what the Dr. wants anyway.My blood pressure is doing great.It is basically averaging about 116/70.I reduced my lisonopril to 20 mg. a day and it seems to be working well.My diet has helped a lot.Low sodium,low sugar,low calorie and low fat all rolled into one.So far since February first I have lost about 23 pounds.Only a hundred or so to go....hahahaha.Denise has been a saint thru this so far.She supports all I am doing all the time.I do love her so much for that.
I have my colonoscopy appointment finally.It is on Saturday,April first.Not really looking forward to it,as I already know there is a polyp they must remove.I am just hoping they don't find out more.
Other than that there isn't too much going on.We have decided to take a few small trips during the summer this year,Perhaps to the coast,Disneyland,Yosemite,Universal studios and anywhere else we can think of.
Our money this year is spread thin so we have to stay fairly local,but that's ok.Maybe next year we will take another big trip across the states or up into Canada again.
