Bob's glucose is way up again. It was 149 this morning. I know he needs more exercise. I have printed off an article from one of the diabetic sites on the internet that told of the dangers of just sitting around like he does. His legs and feet are numb which is a sign that they are damaged. I have told him if he does not get more exercise he could lose them. Also any level above 130-140 can damage the organs. I talked to Cyndi this morning about Bob using her pool in the evenings and she was happy for him to do that. Also, Cyndi talked to Eric Shire, her physical therapist, about Bob's glucose levels and his numbness in the legs and feet this morning and Eric said if he would get a prescription from Melissa for the therapy, Eric will let him use his equipment at no charge. That's a terrific deal if Bob will just do it. He probably will just take Cyndi up on the use of the pool.
Whatever! I can't force him to get out of that chair and move. It will have to be his decision.

I think you're in the situation where they say "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
Good luck.
Right, Linda! That's right!
