Hello My Gather Friends!
I've Missed You all!
As you might, or might not have known, I've been in the Hospital for about a total of nine days now. A week ago last Saturday, I found my blood sugar levels to be at a new high for me. at 544!
Blood sugar levels shouldn't be over 200 (follow link for more info!~) and the normal levels are around 70 to 130. (and here I thought that I was trying to be the best I could be!) lol
My health is in a definite crises right now and I feel bad about being so far behind on my comments and 10 score leaving.
My Question to you my Gather Friends, is would you be offended if I left a DB10 plus a poem on your photo, articles, or video until I get caught up again?
My personal friends list has exploded to a astonishing level of 1219 friends and is still growing! This equals around 150 to 200 emails telling me about new images on a daily basis! ( some days more than others! )
I don't want to miss out on anybody's magnificent work and this is the only way I can figure out how to do it!
"For The Record, I appreciate all comments on my photos, articles or videos whether they be basic, db 10's, or effortless 1 to 2 word replies! It means the world to me that you have taken the time to check out my stuff!

No worries about leaving the poem; I like it!
I'll continue putting you on my prayer list. Take care!
I hope you will be feeling better soon.
Get Well Soon for you.
Robin
If there are any medical questions that I can help with, let me know.
Take care and God Bless, we are all praying for you.
Get to feeling better!!!!
*hugs*
Power and blessings to you.
Mark - I am happy to know that you're out of the hospital and I have been keeping you in my thoughts. No one on Gather is going to be hurt if you can't comment or participate as much as you have been. In fact, I happen to know that people will probably be upset with you if you don't focus on YOU and get better. So, it's an order, Mark - stay well! Gather will wait for you. :o)
Get better! And take care of yourself.
By the way- I just saw the comment you left at one of my photos. Thanks! It was a nice surprise, and one that you took time to create- very thoughtful! A comment like that doesn't leave a sense of 'generic' at all!!!!!
....Just don't overdo, trying to play "catch-up"...relax and have fun. Gather friends will be here, and understand!:)
Drive by ratings and comments don't bother me at all. Every little bit helps you know :)
Stay Well
we all want you to get better, Db10's fine.
First get well,glad you are back home.
Have fun with your Gather friends..just have some time to yourself. NO STRESS to get it all done in days. Let it take weeks with much less stress.
Get well, Mark,

I'm never offended by your poems, my friend.
Keep it on the up-and-up, and don't worry about Gather... your heath is number 1!
i appreciate your feedback,but i would rather know that you are taking care of yourself than feeling like you have to "catch up" here.....welcome back,gayle
Anyhow, I am glad to see you're back. In your absence I wrote a prayer/poem for you after your daughter was kind enough to update us all. I am sure you haven't got around to it yet, lots and lots of emails. Man, I am thanking the Lord tonight for your safe journey back home:

I wish you the best.
I have Fibromyalgia and I was in a wheelchair in 1998 after foot surgery from which I couldn't seem to heal. Now I'm much better for one reason. I take care of my health first. I'm fighting syndrome X which is insulin resistance and can turn into type II diabetes.
There are chair exercises, but the best one is to exercise your won't power. Eat 5 small protein meals every day and rid your home of sweet/salty snacks because for us-- those are poison. Drink plenty of water every day. Forget juice or soda or worse yet alcoholic stuff. I haven't had wine with dinner since 2001.
It's hard, but I am more than what I eat. I am a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and now I have a partner too. They need me to be whole and healthy as possible. I deserve to be healthy.
You deserve to be healthy too. I'm sure your family needs you. So please tone down the Gather addiction and live. We are all here, cheering you on.
I hope all is well now. My mother was diagnosed with "old age diabetes" which essentially meant she got it late in life. I don't know how this differs from any other kind, if it does, but she does not take medication and controls it, so far, with diet. I am just on the beginnng stages of learning about this so I appreciate your links and I hope you are doing well. Welcome back!
Wishing you laughter and healing

I would not mind a copy and paste poem, DB10 or whatever helps you to catch up.
