Ok so I have type 1 diabetes. I have to give myself 4 shots of insulin a day. My blood sugar when I woke up in the ICU was 1053. Let your head wrap around that. So I am a lot better, still have to get my levels in sync. I am trying to be a good boy but giving up sugar is hard lol. I know they have sugar free goodies and some of them taste pretty good. Anyone who has something positive to say besides watch what I eat and drink post away :)
On 7/18/2009 8:32:27 PM UTC an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 and depth 7.4km has struck an highly populated area in the Ninawa Province (population: 1.8 million) in Iraq. GDACS estimates the likelihood for need of international humanitarian intervention to be medium (Orange alert).
This earthquake can have a medium humanitarian impact since the affected region is highly populated and has low resilience for natural disasters.
The earthquake 58km from the city of Al Mawsil. The nearest populated places are Kabaruk (7km), Tall 'Azbah (12km), 'Ali Awah (14km), Sultan 'Abd Allah (6km), Shu'ayrat (11km), Al 'Adiah (20km). It is a mountainous region with a maximum altitude of 1291 m.
Ok so have been reduced from combat patrols to guard duty. while this means i am safer but i feel like i have more of a purpose when i was doing patrols. staying on a camp and guarding it just doesn't feel right for a person who has been here 3 times. call me weird but it's how i feel. so yeah i hope iraq takes control and keeps control but should they need us i wont complain one bit about going back into town :)
