Just What's A Canker Sore

My friend Rob (The one who just got married to Anna) is in hospital at the moment. Ben & I went and visited him yesterday. Rob has diabetes and it was playing up and making him vomit lots, so he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. He's ok now, but they're keeping him in there until tomorrow just to make sure he stays ok. GET WELL SOON ROB!!!!
I had afternoon tea with my Nanna yesterday. I love my Nanna. It's been a hard adjustment for her, with Pa dying and getting sick, but she's doing much better. Love my Nanna!
As for me, I'm feeling a bit flat. I'm not unhappy or anything, I just feel like I am transitioning into something, but I'm actually not. I feel in-between things, but I'm not sure what I'm in-between. It's a bit weird.
Check out Joshua Radin. One of my favourite artists at the moment. This guy has such amazing music!
Oh, and I have a new photo! Although it does make my face look really long and kinda odd...

For example, Adults with diabetes have heart disease death rates about 2 to 4 times higher than adults without diabetes, and the risk for stroke is 2 to 4 times higher and the risk of death from stroke is 2.8 times higher among people with diabetes (that is from the American diabetes association site) There are loads of other complications, I don't think that being sick can only result from him mismanaging it.
(More info: http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-statistics/complications.jsp)
But of course it could be. But he's had it for ages, and I would think that he'd know how to handle himself
And I also hope he doesn't read this and worry about heart disease/stroke. And I hope he is back home and healthy in time for his lovely wife's birthday
thought id return the comment, remember meeting you a couple of times in Taz. Wat are you up to now? Will pass on the hello to Timbo!

It is probably more so when you're older that you can't prevent some the side effects, like blindness and stuff.
I'm just constantly told by my teachers about how agressive it is, etc, but generally type 2, as its onset is influenced by diet and lifestyleand blah blah blah
Complications of long-term high sugar levels include:
Kidney failure
Heart disease
Blindness
Limb amputation
just to name a few...
Poor Rob, is he ok? And is Anna still having a party?
Doesn't matter right now why he got sick, what matters is he was sick and we wish him well.
*hugs*
Love Zach Braff, and his taste in music!!!
Actually, lemmie test that theory. *throws a melon at Ludi*
