...my sugar that day was 1600...today its 150...

Outside my house I did lay, In a diabetic coma they did say, Rufuz there to protect his dad, Memories of him do make me sad… In the coma for 8 days, In the hospital for 12, Later that year my gall bladder did die, That was a bad year for me, no lie… But look at me now, Still do like my chow, Driving again, thought I would never, Working daily, enjoy to drive forever…J
