44

Finally hit the double 4s. Nothing significant this round. Once you cross the big 4-0, its just another number.

Had a sudden thought recently that my last two wounds took a little long to heal. One where i scraped a knee falling off the scooter with the boy, took more than a year. And a skin doctor gave me two jabs before it healed up and the scabs came off.

The second was just an innocent paper cut which didn’t seem to go away.

I’ve recently been reminded that it could be one of the symptoms of diabetes. And since my dad has it, i guess i’m more genetically disposed to it. So i checked myself into a health screening a few days back and am waiting for the blood test results.

God-willing, I won’t have to begin a life of pills .. Otherwise diabetes might just be my birthday present.
