My health is failing. Much of that is my own fault.

I lament that I live in a backwards country... but still don't go to the doctor.

Teeth: had perfect teeth growing up. They now need to be pulled. I need implants or dentures.

         I'm having problems eating certain things.

Legs: neuropathy or psoriasis or both? I've had DVT three times but this seems unrelated.

         I monitor swelling but itching and broken skin is a bad sign.

Circulation... I was diagnosed with high blood pressure after being homeless. I need to find out whether there is blockage, whether I need a stent, whether I need meds or a diet or both.

         Shortness of breath limits me at times.

Mind... slipping! But I don't know how badly... and whether I should be concerned.

         I try to stay active but I've often had too much on my mind. I need reminders.

I was healthier in Thailand: my skin, my diet, my daily exercise... and Pan helping and checking on me.

Bottom line: I'm not taking care of myself.
