Papa’s World – Senior living – Dr. Appointments!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Back in the day –

I would have loved this!

But – those days are past!

Today, I have to watch what I eat –

I am diabetic!

Comes from those first 50 years of my life!

Back then, I ate everything-

With never a thought!

Young and foolish!

But that lifestyle ended with me twenty years ago.

However, all those early years-

The damage had been done!

Twenty years ago – I made a switch –

Finding a supplement and then correcting my diet.

By then, I was borderline diabetic!

And unknown at that time-

Headed for a major heart attack!

Sherry became a certified health coordinator.

And she started guiding me in my life in my pre-senior years.

We changed –

No more sodas!

No more greasy foods and cut way back on fast foods,

And processed foods.

Eventually, almost no fast food.

But by this time, I was placed on meds.

While I was eating healthy-

The damage had been done!

My life had become one of maintenance.

Striving to keep my “NUMBERS” in line!

I have participated in sports my entire life-

None of that is harder than resisting the temptation to cheat!

Seeing and smelling the “STUFF” you should avoid.

I have managed to not drink sodas or milk.

Seldom fast food, except sometimes while traveling!

I have to try very hard not to do this!

Our lives today in retirement revolve around DOCTORS’ or DENTISTS’ appointments.

Our numbers remain on the good side!

But the calendar – well – Dermatologist – Dentist – General Doctor –

Chriopactor – Heart Doctor-

Tests and fasting for blood tests.

All to maintain these senior bodies.

I credit our change twenty years ago –

FINDING A SUPPLEMENT WITH PUBLISHED RESEARCH!

SOMETHING THAT PROVES THROUGH TESTING IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES!

We try to eat more fruits and vegetables –

But it is hard to do.

Snacks have turned into celery – peppers-

Grapes and berries.

Drinks made out of nutrition.

I have almost cut out alcohol entirely.

I drink mostly filtered water.

I believe this is what stabilized all those early years.

Losing weight – I weigh less than I did when I graduated in 1967!

But I am still diabetic-
Although those numbers are almost borderline.

My life is preventive.

I have to take meds because of my heart attack and damage to my heart.

I am a survivor –
My calendar throughout the year –

Is to have tests to maintain my health.

I AM BEYOND THE BEGINNING OF MY SENIOR YEARS!

I am me!

This is who I am.

I live life one day at a time.

If any of this is of interest to you –

My only REGRET?

If only I had known about this THIRTEEN YEARS BEFORE I FOUND IT!

PAPA – weighing less than I did in 1967 at graduation.

I did not always eat that way!

In fact I was a fast food junkie!

And at age 64 – it caught up with me!

I had a WIDOW MAKERS HEAR ATTACK!

Four arteries –

1 was 100% blocked

1 was 90 % blocked

1 was 70 % blocked

1 was 60 % blocked!

I should of died!

Had I known what I know now –

But my wife did and she changed our lifestyle 15 years ago

and that saved my life!

We started to eat healthy – went away from the fast – junk food

and started taking a supplement –

a mixture of fruits – vegetables – berries –

juiced – dried and the nutrients put into capsules.

This was called Juice Plus.

Sherry with grand kids & daughters

Along the way – we managed to get all the grand kids

on the supplement for free!

Minus Maddy who is in college and we still provide her with the shakes and capsules

There is no doubt in my mind that I would of passed away

had I not changed my lifestyle and taken this supplement.

On this journey of health –

Sherry has become a certified health instructor

through courses with Doctor Bill Sears and Doctor Pam Popper.

All of our family is involved

So – that is my story and I am now seven years past that heart attack

last year I had a nuclear test and everything is as it was after the by passes.

My blood work is amazing

and I now see my heart doctor once a yaer.

I have managed in the last 12 months to shed some 20 pounds.

I am now what I weighed when I graduated in 1967!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Papas World – things I had to do – risky – so far – good.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

During this time of not knowing how this all will turn out

I had to do a couple things that were risky

and I thought long and hard about.

The first was when my front tooth felt different

and it was actually loose!

OBOY – I was in Florida and I thought just get through this

get home and take care of it there.

Then we got home- I made the appointment

and COVID 19 happened!

So I canceled and waited it out!

Then it happened – it broke off – it was a crown –

but I had a gap right in the front!

Now – I had no choice – before it got infected –

I had to go to the dentist – so I made my appointment on line.

They would only do emergency’s.

I was worried – but I went in – they were the only people there

the husband and wife dental team.

He drilled it out – the post – and put in the temp.

No shots – there was no root.

But I would have to be careful and go back

when the crown came in!

That took place over several weeks and it all came out good.

I have my new crown – they were very professional

and there were no other patients there

and they wore gowns – masks – shields – gloves

and stayed away from me when not working on my mouth!

The next thing was the car – I have maintained it right on schedule

for seven years – and it now has 122,000 miles.

I needed a oil change

the last time was back in January just before we left for Florida.

I already was over the mileage and we had driven

a lot of miles while we were in Florida.

So – I made the appointment

and in I went – hardly anyone there!

I waited all by myself

They had put distance between all the seats

and no one was in there.

I got the oil change – replaced a bulb and was on my way!

Yesterday I saw my doctor – by phone!

I now have this app where you go into her office portal

and you can see and talk to her!

Since my heart attack almost seven years ago

I see my two doctors every six months and the one every twelve months.

That part was easy – but they have to draw blood every six months.

So – today I go to the office – where they have one person at a time.

They check your temp. plus she could see me yesterday.

I am feeling good , no head ache – cough – pink eye –

Then – I must wear a mask –

they take me right in – draw the blood and I leave

as quick as possible.

God bless these front line people!

So – during all these I had to make choices

I am healthy – have not taken the FLU shot in 15 years!

I take my Juice Plus and Omegas

I drink water all day – no dairy – very little sugars –

my one vice is coffee with almond cream.

However I am doing a 16 hour shred – fast

I do not eat for 16 hours after my dinner.

And I can have no coffee so I am having a cup of tea in the morning.
