Subj : HEALTH UPDATE
To   : ALL

  First, sorry for the abscence. Internet Rex crashed in late
February...I suspect due to a deal with Microsoft Windows 10 update.
Then, practically nonstop days of thunderstorms for the last 6 weeks,
and so I was offline.

  Second, on the health front, I'm doing pretty good for a 60 year old
man. :)

  At the last blood work, the A1C is steady at 6.0, the blood sugar is
97, the blood pressure was 122 over 82, vision was 20/20, and the
prostate specific antigen was 1.37 (very low risk of prostate cancer).

  The only "bad" things were the very low B12 level, and an
umbilical hernia.

  The low B12 level was likely caused by taking Ozemprazole
(prescription strength Prilosec) to control acid reflux. With my
deltoids (shoulders) being so sore, I prefer to get shots in the gleute
(butt cheek). I got 4 of those a week apart...and now will get them a
month apart until September...when the full blood work is done again.

  The umbilical hernia was first diagnosed in December, 2018...and it
has grown. However, it's not "critical", but laparoscopic or open
surgery will be needed once COVID-19 subsides.

Daryl
