Still waiting

Still waiting on Social Security

My more mature claim has been denied again by the latest judge. My lawyer spotted errors made in the judge’s judgement. So he appealed my claim to the Appeal’s Council. I should get their decision in 6 months. We will see. So I sit and wait. I hate wasting time, but I am not in the position to do anything. I can’t go anywhere and see new things. I have to stick near home base (my parents house). My dad just had back surgery and the surgery has relieved a lot of his pain. I am pleased. He also can walk around without the use of his cane. He stands up straighter. It makes me happy he has less pain.

I just had a good eye exam

I became diabetic a few years ago. My diabetes was never really an extreme case. When first detected my A1C was 7.0 at its highest my A1C was 7.5. With the help of two diabetic meds (Trulicity and Metformin) my A1C is down to 6.9. I go every three months to the doctor for blood work. Since I have nothing going on right now, I feel that I should pay attention to my overall health. I am trying to prevent further diseases and issues. I went in for my annual eye exam. I even paid for the in depth retinal photography. The optometrist found no change since my last exam a year ago. No signs of diabetic retinopathy. I was very happy hearing that my eyes are have not been effected from diabetes.  Since I am into photography and visual arts, my eyes are very important to me. Its the little things in life that are important. My eyesight, my health and my mental health are important to me and I watch over these areas of my life.

This up coming Spring and Summer

I am going to try and slow down and enjoy the upcoming warmer weather. Even though I won’t be able to travel from my area, I will try and get out of the house. I selected Friday mornings from 9-12 noon to go to the Lansing Public Library. I wonder if “my special friend” is reading this website. Maybe I will meet someone nice and interesting at the library? Ill try to make it a weekly trip to the library. I suppose if you are alone, its good to get out and be  around people. I am trying.
