Long Sleeves

And everything looks better this morning - just a couple of bandaids over the deepest punctures and today ought to work.

The vet does do Soft Paws and Kibo has an apppointment tomorrow.

Now. What the heck did my mother put this shirt next to while she was getting ready for Christmas that made it smell so good? Seriously - this is my mother's Christmas gift to me that I'm wearing - and it smells yummy. Still. It's already been through the wash once already. Nice smelling me = okay! (But it's a little WTF at the same time.)

Guys? More than two people on my FL have the Nintendo DS and Animal Crossing and have posted their addresses for WiFi. I'm getting my stock sale proceeds Thursday - and I'd have to admit a little envy at Jim's.

catsonmars, where did you finally find your Nintendogs bundle? Because you know, this is lemmings R US here.

Time to go to work. Yay work. (Want to go back to bed.)

Fuckity Fuck with Fuck Sauce

One concern he and fellow doctors have is the surge in children who take antipsychotic drugs for anxiety and conditions like autism. Some newer drugs can promote weight gain and thus elevate the risk of diabetes. Dr. Shapiro has an autistic patient who he feels needs the new medication. But since taking it, the young man has markedly put on weight and, at 18, developed diabetes.

This extension of the disease to the young is where health care professionals feel society and public policy have most glaringly failed. Diabetes, they say, should never have gotten there.

There has been little research into the long-term impact of Type 2 diabetes on children. But doctors have a rough idea. The harsh consequences that can accompany diabetes tend to arrive 10 to 15 years after onset.

If people contract diabetes when they are 15, 10 or even 5, they may well start developing complications, not on the cusp of retirement but in the prime of their lives.

There is a big difference between losing a limb at 21 and at 70. There is a big difference between going on dialysis at 30 and at 65.

(Kudos to reannon for the link. For those of you just coming in, I was widowed at 37. My late husband had type I diabetes and died at the age of 36 from its complications, which included blindness, significant heart disease, strokes, amputations and kidney failure. That's the short list. He was diagnosed at age 5.)

So that medication they're giving kids is adding fuel to the fire in diabetic-prone Americans. How utterly peachy. Type II in 15 year olds. Type II. That's the one that sneaks up on you and gives you all the complications first - and you find out you have diabetes when you're in the ER after the stroke/heart attack/infection/blindness/whathave you - and the list is long and heinous.

If you don't know. If you don't suspect. I'm a big believer in knowing your family history - at least the health parts. Allergies, heart disease, cancer and particularly, diabetes - is incredibly familiar in nature. Know your enemy.

What the article fails to note is what happens when you do work the program - the results are incredible and the future is not nearly so bleak.

Jim sees diabetics day in and day out. Chest x-rays going into surgery. Most of them in pain from knees and backs buckling under enormous weight loads. So many of them under 50 years old and looking 90.

But I now have another reason to really distrust psychotropic meds in children. You have to weigh the benefits of avoiding diabetes in the bargain.

Little bitty fire, so help me. But it never fucking goes out.
