1 Answer

Answer :

This was the year when I seemed to turn the corner on my health problems. My BP has fallen to the point where the doctor has taken me off blood pressure meds. My diabetes is under control to the point where the doctor is seriously considering taking me off insulin entirely. And the cancer attacking me seems to be in remission. It looks like I may actually get to spend more years with my beloved Vicky than anyone expected. God has been good to me! : ))
