Well doc tried everyting else and that damned nerve still hurts, So tomorrow I start taking Prednisone. IT worked last time but it sure messed with my BG levels big time. 11 days to teh start of training for the Indy half marathon and I have not logged any miles for far too long and now this. Wife says even if I feel like I can run I'll need a note form the Doc saying I can! I am actually deraming about running now in my sleep and wake up bummed because it was just a dream!

Have some NASTY readings today. Mid 200. New highs for me. No D meds so far. Control via diet and exercise. My next A1c is going to be really bad.............unless I wait a while. Tripping. I did NOT dream that. I DID it!!! Last April, the last group training run the Sat before the Indy 500 Half Marathon. I had .1 miles left on a 5 miler. My ITBS was acting up so I got off the crowned road and on the sidewalk figuring that the flat surface would take some pressure off the affected leg. With my left foot off the ground I pushed off with my right foot and dragged my toe a little. Of all the places to put the joint in the walk. I remember attempting to get my arms under me and knowing it was too late, then thinking "This is going to hurt" Road rash on both arms and hands along with the nose and forehead. I split the bridge of my nose and blacked the left eye. Oh and I bent the hell out of my glasses, without which I am actually blind. My GOOD eye is 20/450+ Just very VERY happy I didn't do it during the race!!! And my wife no longer gives me hell about my getting the EXACT same frames for my glasses year after year!! I just swaped out the lenses to an old frame and was good to go!!!! But today is the first time in 3 weeks I have not been worried about starting training on the 26th. The Prednisone is working, I actually drove the 63 miles home and arrived with about 80% less pain. If this keeps up I see not problems except I am so out of shape and our first run is 2 miles. Sept is the last time I ran 2 or more miles
