a fatty leg story

Got up early to take Lyft -

To the VA for a check up - follow up

It is a totally different place at 4 am-

Than it is a 10 am!

So my Doc says WHY ARE YOU NOT BETTER?

I tell him - I don't know - it is JUST a contusion, right?

Doc asks me about my diet.

I tell him I am on Low Carb, and have had GREAT success with it.

My labs are much better - as good as anyone on a low fat diet.

He says Yes - I agree!

(wow - I have waited a long time to hear a Doc agree with that!)

But he thinks that because of my being heavy for so many years,

I caused microscopic damage to my knees.

And now, with an injury -

Well, it show up in the form a delayed healing.

Hell told me to come back in a week.

And ditch the wheelchair.

Just use the crutches, and he can release me to work.

Then he asked about Lyft - 

And I told him how great it is!

I got a good Doc - thank goodness!

He also told me to lose 10 pounds

Which is fair. 

I guess some weight is skin and some is just aging.

I did good at 150 - 155.

Still wear the same size - 

But wear it "better" - you  know!
