Doctor! Doctor!
What's wrong with me now?

A Note From Ken -- It seems the older I get the more doctors I get. And this leads to all these doctors finding more things wrong with me. Although I feel really good most of the time. Now that I am 69, if it isn't my teeth, it's my knees or my receding gums or my cataracts, my blood pressure, blood sugar or high triglycerides. On January 29, 2009, I had my left knee replaced. I have posted every detail I could remember here on this blog. Your comments are always appreciated.

What they are telling me

Based on current reports from medical doctors and dentist:
· I am too fat;
· have high blood pressure;
· high triglycerides;
· early signs of diabetes;
· high blood sugar;
· end stage arthritis in left knee;
· minor arthritis in right knee;
· tendonitis in right foot;
· insomnia;
· gum disease
· deep pockets between several teeth;
· a bridge on my lower right in which at any minute tooth #31 could fail (cracked roots) and cause me to loose three virtual teeth (#29, 30 and 31) and go through a painful removal of the bridge and tooth #31
