I had the opportunity to have lunch with about 45 former co-workers from Henry Ford II High School at Marcus Grill in honor of the principal's 80-something birthday. I worked for Mr. Lathers for 8 years as his secretary. Now, we are talking a very long time ago ... 1976 - 1984. Mr. Lathers was also my high school principal, as I graduated from Utica High School in 1970. It was a surprise for Mr. Lathers and his wife, Mary. I'm glad that we were given name tags, as the women all looked the same, just older. Some of the men - WELL? Let's just say I was glad for the name tags. I haven't been hugged as much as I was today since Bill's funeral. It was a really nice time.
Unfortunately, I had to leave early for an endocrinologist appointment in Rochester. I had called to see if I could come late or reschedule. There were no cancellations for the late afternoon, and her next appointment was in April! Give me a break. I went today.
Anyway, the good news is that in the last 6 months my blood sugar went down from 112 to 104 and 6.3 to 5.9. Those of you who know about blood counts will understand the significance of these numbers. All I need to know is that it has gotten better. My blood pressure was excellent (124/74) and I've definitely lost weight. Good job, Nan!
