I have no idea who invented the diet but they ought too be shot.
Actually it isn't that bad. Due to the fact that there are some diabetics in the family the decision was made (I didn't get a vote) to put everyone on a diabetic diet.
I really don't have a problem with being on it fir several reasons. First of all it will force those preparing my plate for me limit my rations. I've been telling them forever that I would be just as satisfied with half as much.
Next, with so many members of the Eaton family having diabetes, it isn't a bad idea fir me to be on such a diet.
Finally, it gave me some motivation to begin tracking my calorie intake and weight with an iPhone app that I have had for a while but not really used on a regular basis.
The good news is that my calorie intake is averaging about 2,000 per day and I ought to be at my target weight of 220 sometime in 2012.... LOL

It's been a while...
After upgrading my phone I had a devil of a time (and, quite honestly not much time when I was coherent enough to work on it) of getting my iPhone's blogger app to allow me access to publish blogs.
I had actually written several since the last one but ultimately had to delete that blog (this losing the unpublished blogs) so here I am with a lot if catching up to do.
So, let's start at the top. Even though I am slightly more coherent than in the past it still takes a ton of editing to communicate through text. While telling heavily on the iphone's autocorrect feature I still find myself so out of it that I do things such as spelling even the simplest 4-4 letter words wrong and spend as much time editing what I have written then the time it took to write it in the first place.
Cheryl lost her 4+ year battle with the MRSA in the boned of her left foot and had everything in front of her leg amputated several weeks ago. right now she is having to wear a prototype brave a few hours a Fay and then when she sleeps at night to keep her heel and what small part of her foot is remaining from rolling to the side. (an additional surgery to cut her Achilles tendon would be a permanent fix but they ate trying to avoid any more surgery. once her foot is stabilized they will give her the prosthetic they have already fitted for.
After what was close to 18 months of unemployment Chris got hired at a local computer store (there goes our transportation to the doctor...) and is averaging over 50 hours a week. We barely see him any longer.
To end on a high note, Carl and Bonnie had a baby girl (7 PBS 8 oz, 19" long) named Carlimae Elizabeth about 6 weeks ago. She is a beautiful baby and I look forward to the times that they bring her down on the weekends.
So now I am all caught up. As far as what the future holds, I have applied for Social Security Disability and am waiting on a decision from them. the LTD folks have a lawyer standing by to assist in the appeal if it comes to that. Meanwhile I go nowhere except to doctor's offices and am still getting regular injections in my spine.
As Bugs Bunny says, "That's all folks...." Now it's time fire to take my morning meds so don't expect anything near this coherent for the rest of the day.,.
