How far we've come!

Since April 8, GpaK has made amazing progress.

Consider then - Now:

• He needed help getting to/from the bathroom - now he's independent


• The stairs were a challenge, requiring at least one "spotter" - today he can easily ascend on his own


• Bill or I checked his blood sugar, administered Insulin - now he takes care of all of this


• Oxygen was used most of the time, then nighttime, now it's rarely used


• Little or no interest in reading, crossword puzzles - now his iPad is closeby, he reads the entire paper each day and almost always completes the crossword puzzle


• Refusing (practially) to go to Silver Sneakers exercise class - now he goes twice a week with just a little grumbling

We've done all of this while maintaining his weight in the 180s, keeping his blood sugar in check (anxious for the next A1C test !) and staying relatively sane.

Life is good.
