would be nice if i had a uh had someone in here to do it for me but okay so we welcome back
hi you guys it's me again the lady with the talons yes take a look at the toes now here
they have they are much much better than they were last time we saw them yes and
you're doing more walking now yes yes ma'am i've lost 59 pounds wonderful congratulations
i am see what good doctor big care does for you well it's more than that
yeah more than that but okay so this one kind of goes up
and around you may have to take a couple of these toenails off remember eventually
but for right now i think we can thin them out and get them short and comfortable
so we did that video probably what almost two years ago now yeah 60 pounds that's wonderful
congratulations another 60 you know so i live i leave my chair i walk three times a day now you
know and you know i'm a diabetic so i always have to watch what i eat but my goal is to get down
another 60 and then get off this oxygen wonderful get rid of that chair that scooter yeah
and i think a lot of it has to do with being able to
maintain my health and not have to worry about the situation i was in you know
yes so you think that by losing weight that will allow you to get off your oxygen
has your your doctors told you that yeah okay if i can lose weight and then i won't be in so much
knee pain you know absolutely because i have two artificial knees and so i think the weight pace
plays a lot of part of you know the reason why i'm you know my knees even after the surgery was
not successful for me because of the weight okay so and then i think that helped with my diabetes
too you know absolutely i've known a number of people who've gotten off of their diabetic meds
from the exercise because the exercise will help lower the blood sugar quite a bit
i need to do all quite more than the last six months that i've
been able to do in the last 10 years isn't it great what removing stress can do
and that's what i think a lot of it was to distress height i believe that
my health is really you know it's turning for the good now one point i was really really
poorly health was mentally and physically i didn't really know how mental oh
the weight had really took a toll of my body
which caused the my physical body to kind of start shutting down you know yeah absolutely
my kidney level is back up again for three patients back to back to back backwards chickadee
it's a busy day today because we got both doctors here and we both have full schedules
so yeah i wasn't too late was i no i'm running pretty close to on time
think i got in okay couple of minutes even before my appointment well my transportation they always
bring me a little late either i'm going to be 10 or 15 minutes earlier or i'm gonna be
five minutes late one of the two you know it breaks my heart when i see people waiting
for their ride and they're here for two hours i have good transportation now that metro mobility
that's when you really catch it if i had a 2 30 they may not come be able to come and get me to 3
30 or 4 30 you know then i have to wait if they have to pick up or drop out you know
before they get to me i've been on that metro mobility as long as four hours wow on the bus
while they pick up and drop off you know there has to be a good computer program that can organize
all that but i don't know how they do it because you're right i've seen people who've had to wait
really long so this one is growing around like that so the other one over here yeah i mean you've
got a few of them that are growing that way so i'm just kind of pointing it out but so they're still
shaped like talons but they're way shorter so they're not nearly as bad that's a good thing yeah
yeah they'll pick me say they picked me up here in golden valley now that instead of them having
it routed where whatever drop off is in golden valley or near they'll go all the way out to uh
roseville what yeah i mean i says i don't know who the right person is that sketches these
uh transportation but it's like you say i said it's you know i ran out of oxygen when i had that
old iron tank you know i ran out of oxygen on that metro mobility three times and they've had the
drivers had to pull over and call the paramedics so for people watching this who don't know how far
that is it's about 30 miles away and it's north of st paul and yeah and were west minneapolis
so that's that's a ridiculous one i can see an hour where they have to do some picking up and
dropping off but not four hours and not going 30 miles out of the way yes after they pick you up
and then they may have to pick up or drop off of a person there and then they'll leave from there
and go back to brooklyn center and they'll pass my house three times you know all right so i'm
just going to point one thing out on this big toe and that is we remove the nail but there is just
a little teeny piece of nail growing back right here and that's just because there were a few
cells that didn't get killed and so we can just keep trimming this or we can redo the procedure
for this one little piece of nail here but if it doesn't bother you we just keep trimming it
so sometimes that happens when you remove a total nail but the rest of this looks great
yeah so sometimes that happens and you know
we deal with it and if it's a problem we'll redo the procedure just right here
and if it's not a problem then we just keep trimming it when you come in
that's just a little bit of nail tissue right there
okay
all
let's right if we can
so
all right well your feet look great i'm just going to push that over
again so your feet look really good today thank you yeah and
they look like they belong to a different person than when we first started don't they yes for
them they do they truly do i mean i can wear my little sanders now and everything i don't put
polish on my toes or anything now because they were soaked but i think i'm going hell but but
you know you're gonna go get a pedicure yeah you could yeah they were so tall from the floor
before i tell you they were really in bad shape and bravo madam this is your new chapter
right this is my new chapter and i tell you doctor i sure feel good i'm not going to killed you i
was so blessed to be able to know what it really truly is to live you know yes that's my battle was
not an easy battle but i fought god has blessed me with good doctors i tell you
and i want to be better it has worked out you know i pay attention to what my doctors tell me
you know i didn't even really know that when you're diabetic
taking care of your feeds is very important it's extremely important yes
and your blood sugars have been coming down do you know what your last a1c was yeah i just taken it
for lunch and it was all 117. but your a1c that's the three month one that's usually like a bonus
