  • Side note, I had a couple of high blood pressure readings recently, and was considering using one of the injectable drugs for weight loss. But after talking to a doctor, I thought I’d try watching the food that goes into my “pie hole” first.

    That was a few weeks ago when I saw my doctor. Since then, I’ve been eating much fewer processed foods, and more fruits and veggies. I was surprised at the difference of caloric intake and carbs from snack foods compared with regular fruit as a snack. “Tortilla chips: serving size 5 chips!” And eating the processed snack always leaves me wanting more. I also added some moderate walking exercise.

    So after 4 weeks I’m down 8.5 pounds, about 3+% of my body weight. I already feel a big difference. Now I’m thinking I don’t need to inject expensive chemicals into my belly. Maybe I can just eat healthier foods and walk a few miles per week.









  • When my Mom was in a coma, they asked me as the oldest child to make that decision. I based it on not only my wishes for myself, but per her directive.

    However if it was my own child, I would probably make the same decision. Parents make thousands of decisions on behalf of their children. This one, however horrible, would be another one of them. I would support my wife in aborting the (already dead) child, rather than further risk the life of my wife. It’s the only and best choice, however tragic.
