Run for your life!

Run away, run away!.

And this little Piggy ran home.

Run Forest, run!

You can run, but you can't hide!

Aye, there's the rub. Eventually, life catches up yo you! Last week, life caught up with me.

Now I understand more about that funk.

Faster, faster, I tried to go. But I was only moving slower. You know, that feeling like you are running through molasses - although I'm not sure anyone has actually run through molasses...but we can all imagine it. Sort of like the Ten Million Dollar Man, with the sound effects going off all around you. But this time it's YOU! And now you are moving slow [sic] your mind's moving slow. You have fallen and you can't get up. you are trying harder than you ever have, but you can't get up. You can't move. You don't know what day it is, or even if it is day or night.

It is late in the afternoon on Thursday and your sister convinces you to go to the ER. Your blood sugar is off the charts - 300. The burn on your feet is infected. You are in stage three renal failure! Your life(style) has caught up to you!

You thought you could out-run it. You couldn't. And now you have to pay the proverbial piper.

Now you REALLY have to monitor your blood sugar - EVERY DAY!

Now you  REALLY have to monitor your food portions more carefully - EVERY DAY!

Now you REALLY have to exercise more - EVERY DAY!

If you don't take care of yourself...your Sister will kill you!

See you all next week.
