Thank you kindly...I pray they run out of Jim Beam...the thing is Dad saw his brother die in a hospital over a 3 weeks peroid...dad stayed with him the whole time even when I went to see him Uncle BIll didnt know who I was but I was his favorite nephew for the last 30 yrs....He saw his brother go thru the DDT's they had to strap to the bed cause he would swing at the nurses & dr.'s trying to get out....

I gotta say this again Dad saw his BROTHER DIE and it didnt even put a twinkle in his brain to quit...I quit the day I saw that....15 yrs ago...but dad still puts a straw in the Beam bottle...

Well this has taken a turn, Dad was sitting in his chair in the living room (when he was suppose to be making dinner for them both) getting SH*T FACED and Mom was out in the kitchen hanging on to the counter trying to stand to make them dinner and she FELL....broke her wrist (both bones) split her fore head open, gashed her cheek where she has a titanium plate put in yrs ago (but now you can see the plate) & cracked a rib that punctured her left lung & now has fluid in her lungs....He couldnt even see to drive or call the ambulance......I showed up and if I wasnt so concerned with Mom I would have klobbered Dad...he is such an alcoholic he pee's Jim Beam
....well Mom is in the hospital & I pray that he see's what he has done or didnt do...A sad day for the Keefer Family...

You and your family are in my prayers. Hopefully this will be a wake up call and life changer for your Dad.

we will see how it works the 1st few days will be rough no more sugar amacks, donuts, pastires, cookies.....he drinks a lot of Jim Beam and those people like there sugar when not drinking....yeah Im saying he has a huge drinking problem also..but thats another battle....at least he is checking his blood at home more than once a day.....

again thanks for your prayers


I also take 2000/day and my sugar is all over the place. While working in India I have many days when mine is in the high 200's. I like my beer and so far I have refused to change. Reading your messages makes me wonder if I am doing the same to my wonderful wife. I don't think I am but it's hard to judge one's own actions. Glad to hear that your dad has started to treat his condition. God Bless!
