Hi, you guys.

Just to let you know from the begining, this will become a ramble. I have been thinking on this subject for a few days. You see, I have been put on a new pill to help with the authritis in my neck. Because I have soooooooooo many other things wrong with me, I allow some of the other things to fall by the way side.  I really shouldn't do this because I promote that others make sure that they tell everything to their docs. And I mean everything. Even if you think it has nothing whatsoever to do with the thing that you are seeing that particular doc about. You see it might be a uncommon or common symtom of that particular problem that most have not heard about. The point is that this particular pill was working at first but then I had to up the dose and take it at odd hours. The thing is that I already take a sythroid pill first thing in the morning. I wait an hour and take 13 more pills and one more med for diabetes and an insulin shot. I also take an inhaler that clears up my breathing because I suffer from apnea. Then thirty minutes later I can eat breakfast. I eat a snack about mid-morning but not befor taking a med for my diabetes. I then take that med again befor eating mid-day meal. Then about 2:30pm I take about 5 pills for different reasons. Then I take more meds befor I eat me late afternoon snack. Than I take meds befor I can eat supper. Oh yeah, all the meal and snack meds have to be taken 15 to 30 minutes befor eating. Then at bedtime I take my last meds for the day, And I do a shot of insulin befor going to bed. So you see, I am slightly depressed about adding a new pill to the regemine. My life is ruled by pills. But, if it weren't for the pills, I wouldn't be alive today. I like to think that God gave the docs the smarts to be able to know what they are doing and I need to have the smarts to know how and when to use that knowledge. I love my docs. Well, most of them anyway. I think that God sent them my way. I have found out that some of them are God gifts and some are just people that God uses. I like to believe that God uses all of us in His own way and in His own time. God has His own sense of timing. Here is one good example:
