Red Rider 1 Week In

So today, 9/28/2022 late eveening something scary happened. My leg went numb for no reason. I was sitting up in bed, relaxed, and watching Merlin! My right lower leg was feeling like it was asleep! I raised the foot of the bed for a while to try to get the feeling to go away. Waited, and it still felt like it was asleep! So, then I changed my whole position to a more lying down position with my head still slightly raised and that did the trick! Sensation came back, but without the feeling of ants in my leg when the leg or other limb falls asleep. 

One of the things I forgot to mention to Gayle in the middle of the night was that I had the feeling of pins and needles in the soles of my feet. This has been going on for a while, but I thought it had to do with my heart issues.

So there it is, it is now Thursday, and on Saturday, the 24 th, I went to see a doctor Vance with what I thought was an infection in my unrinary track and came out with a diabetes type 2 diagnosis that literally rocked my world. I had already given up sodas the weeks before because of the article about fake sugars affecting heart patients. I was already off breads because I was trying to get rid of my panza! Then it was a matter of changing the rest of my diet. I am eating chicken and eggs amd a lot of lettuce. Yesterday at the store I did buy some cheese and cold cut turkey for wraps. My cereal is protein based and we're playing with that. I am eating nuts as a snack. Still drinkin' a ton of water because I'm trying to stay hydrated for the UTI thing. Evidently UTIs in men, not common, that's why immediately we were talking about diabetes! Here I am the Red Rider!
