Community Support and Health Goals

Perfect. Okay. How do you stay supported or connected with your community or your care providers during the summer months and what role do they play in summer? Well, I always go to my three-month appointments for my diabetes to see my personal care physician and he's a really, really good doctor and he has a nice staff and it's not like going to the dentist or whatever, even though I like going to the dentist too, but I don't mind going to doctor appointments and I look forward to get their input, you know. So, you can't put it, you got to turn off the negative and turn on the positive about, about going to the doctor. And, you know, like I said before, you know, you have to listen to other people's opinions is sometimes that sometimes you won't get any input and sometimes you get too much input and you get frustrated, but you have to take, you know, listen to what people say. people say, I mean, instead of, I know people that just talk, talk, talk, but they, they don't listen to anything people are saying. All they do is talk over them. They're never listening. All they want to do is talk. They, you ask them a question, they don't answer it, just like politicians on, on interviews. You ask them a question. They don't answer it. They just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, and change the subject or deflect. You know, you have to give people a chance to talk and listen to what they're saying. Thank you, sir. Okay, the last one for summer is, what would a healthy summer, when you get to summer, look like for you personally? What are you hoping to achieve or maintain this summer? Well be conscious of your weight, and weight loss if necessary, and having a lot of activity, not too much, but enough activity that you feel good, because when you use your muscles, It sends a message to your brain that you're happy. So when, you know, it makes you feel good, then try to get as much exercise or activity as possible. Not sitting to exercise as far as sitting there doing sit-ups, but exercise just like getting up and doing things. Don't put off doing things, you know. Get, you know, just stay active. Keep your mind active and your body active and you'll be better off. you
