Blood glucose 82 Weight 172lbs (Same weight as when I entered the U.S.Army in 1966!)
My peripheral neuropathy begins in my feet. Numbness is my biggest complaint along with shuffling and some pain and tingling but now I experience a sharp pain on my right lower back and leg. I get relief when I sit.
Today, I sat with Roland Langlois of Leicester, MA. He is the Disabled American Veterans - Quaboag Chapter agent. Roland encourages me to apply for additional benefit rating. Now I am at only 20% rating.
It is interesting to hear people's experiences such as "a liver transplant, hip and knee replacements" and more. Courageous veterans, indeed!
It seems with my infirmities I may get a higher rating. Presently I get $385.41 per month. Diabetes is related to the rating.
The Veterans Day breakfast at the Senior Center was well attended. The breakfast was great.. especially the burned bacon and sausage. I recognized many veterans and their wives. It is hard to believe I have lived in WB since 1978 with my family.
Snow is in the forecast.. how nice!
