    Mike,

    Man. The things we won't do to keep the medical field busy.
    Between you and I, we help keep them occupied.

    At least my A1C had dropped to 6.0 this past week, but my weight
    is holding steady. I asked him about the GLP-1 deal, and he said
    that it's so expensive right now, for those on a fixed income, as
    I am...it's not worth worrying about.

    Sorry for the delay in replying...life has been very busy outside
    the BBS.

    I have a telehealth with my Endocrinologist today and I was going to ask for a prescription for Ozempic or whatever. I guess I won't worry about it if it is still too
    expensive. Glad you're back online.

    Mike,

    going to ask for a prescription for Ozempic or whatever. I
    guess I won't worry about it if it is still too expensive.

    I think of the joke where the guy noted "I hate these virtual
    telehealth sessions. I had to do my own prostate check, and now,
    I can't find my cellphone, but my butt keeps vibrating". <G>

    That's like the one where the woman says she purchased this
    deodorant stick, which noted "Take off top, push up bottom".
    Well, it's hard to walk, but every time she farts, the room
    smells lovely. <G>

    Glad you're back online.

    I've been online, although we've had quite a few instances of
    thunderstorms lately. We won't get flooded from what may become
    Tropical Storm Arthur this week, but areas to our south will get
    inundated.

    Extensive work with ham radio and square dance related items
    have cut my BBS work down to a trickle. I have to find a way to
    keep these "connect then drop" FTP bots off my system, instead
    of putting in the "no name" deal, as it kills "anonymous FTP",
    unless you're logged on via Google.
