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.

Blood test results
Had blood tests at Sacred Heart. The diabetes test, A1C was 5.9, which is not immediately alarming. The PSA was OK, well under 1.0.

Medical checkup
The doctor checked my blood sugar diary and said it was slightly elevated at this point.

Dental cleaning
11:00 A.M. She worked the deep pockets agressively and warned me to clean well under the bridge.

Cortisone shot in my knee
My (former) orthopedic surgeon examines me. Says nothing is better and gives me a shot. He's good at the shots, painless.
He says again the heel pain is a problem to fix. End of discussion. The right knee probably has some arthritis, but doesn't take an x-ray. And when I ask if it's time for the surgery on the left knee he is non-committal. I have a hard time communicating with him. Once again I left his office feeling bad and hopeless. I decide never to see him again.

Dental repairs
Crown has a chip fall off and the sharp edge, tongue side, of #31 is cutting my tongue. Very sore. Dentist ground it smooth. Feels much better.
