>Okay, now you can feel free to add anything personal(
>family, work etc)I just had my blood work done and thank God everything is looking real good. Just lost my big brother to this and helping my older sis that has it. She has lost her toes on her left foot, most of her eye sight and most of her teeth to this. I give her shots every day. My mom (89) was doing it until she had a stroke from the stress. So I have to do it. Those that live with them and my other older sis are afraid to do it.(bunch of chickens. I just need to make sure I'm doing the right things for them and for myself. So if you have good recipes please share. I have some books that I still need to read. Any idea's on how to help please let me know.
