Hope for a Good 2014

Well, goodbye to 2013, and good riddance.
It was a miserable year for me.
The year started with my dad's death
followed quickly by my dog's death
I attended 6 other funerals over the course of the year
TOO MUCH DEATH!!

Then in September I broke ("shattered") my wrist and needed surgery
in November, I broke my ankle and needed surgery for that

All year long, Tom has consistent (like always)
What this means is that many days his glucose goes low around 6 pm
By low, I would say around 55 to 60

If I try to start dinner earlier - he tells me its too early for dinner and he is not hungry
If I try to encourage him to eat a snack - he doesn't know why...
He just doesn't want to address this
its a consistent behavior that he won't address

in the past, I have handed him a beverage and left him to to drink it
but since my accidents, I have been so limited in my ability to do much of anything
that all I can do is verbalize my concern and wait it out

He has been reasonably supportive of me
my mom and sisters much more helpful than him
(who is surprised by that?)

well, I'm looking forward to being healthier in 2014
and then I'll be in a better position to deal (or not) with his issues.

All the best...
