Update on health issues

[macojoe]

I have been fighting hard, and not easy watching the boat sit unused all summer!!
But I am seeing a dim light in the tunnel right now!
As stated before I started the road to a Gastric By pass last Oct.
When I started I was diabetic for 21 years and lots of issues because of it over 21 years!!
High Blood Pressure, Kidneys getting ready to die, and so on.
Well I have lost 20 pounds on my own from Oct to May, May 18 I had the bypass and have lost another 73 pounds for a total of 93 pounds to mu current weight of 228 from 321

I no longer have or take meds for Diabetes, Blood pressure, Cholesterol,and my Kidneys are no longer in danger!
But I have 3 problems remaining, I have no Salt in my body and they have me putting it on everything trying to get it to normal, My eyes were another issue and I had a operation last year on the right side that has worked but not great, the left has been waiting and the doc says its time so in the next 2 weeks I will be having another eye op and we hope it will be better then the right eye when we are done??
The biggest thing is that I have Neuropathy in my legs and they are causing my vains not to pump blood up when i stand, so when i stand my blood pers. drops like a stone were i can pass out! So i have a walker, and cane right now, but it really sucks getting around!! Can't even stand to piss!

So there is many good things but still a few issues to get thur, but after abusing my body for over 30 years I am doing ok in 3 months I think?

Ok thats it for now, just thought I bring you guys up to date. The NE guys are not doing wel this year! I am out, Friend Kenny got a a fish poke are last trip out and was on IV antibiotics for 35 days and then they did a MRI and found Cancer in one of his kidneys, so he will be going under the knife very soon also for removal of one of his kidneys.
I have another friend that has fished this year but blew his knee out and is going for a replacement very soon also!

Not good to be a N.E. guy this year!!
