The aging health issue/Carlos Pueblo

 The aging health issue/Carlos Pueblo

Recently, I visit my doctors clinic quite often as a sign of my aging health issue. Last Monday, my young physician helped me to solve my abscess skin issue by cutting off some dead tissue on my back and prescribed some antibiotic pills. It is healing well and I am allowed to play tennis and swimming again. Friday, I need to see my regular physician for regular physical examination in order to refill my diabetes drugs. The young physician indicated that I might try some other medicines before I would get into insulin injection. Monday next week, I have a schedule to have an eye procedure to reinstall and replace a new cataract lens on my left eye which is moved out of my left eye ball. Basically, I am using only my right eye for the time being.

Because of my absent in the morning tennis, my tennis partners discussed my symptom as a carbuncle. The young physician showed me the carbuncle photos and explained the different from the abscess. Both are skin disease with a different appearance, the carbuncle has many yellow spots on one infection while the abscess has but one. It is not something that I don't take a shower often yet something to do with my diabetes and aging.

I must get rid of my excess blood sugar with my morning exercises with playing tennis and swimming before my physical because Amy is threatening me to drink too much smoothie with the water melon, papaya, mango, pineapple. and figs every day. She says that I might get to insulin injection next for my diabetes. Now, I am more relax because the young physician mentions that I may go to some other pills first than the insulin. 

Playing tennis with only one eye is very much in disadvantage and I drop to level 2 from level 3. I can't see the exact distance of the speedy incoming ball because I need to have both eyes working. The eye surgeon specialist will try to put it back. He told me that I might have to wear glasses again.
