On September 21st at 3:44PM my fourth grandchild was born. A bouncing baby boy 8lbs 12oz and 22 inches long. Welcome baby Zane Erik Snyder. I must admit that when Adam and Erika passed along Zane's middle name to me I was taken back to say the least. An honor indeed that I hope I am worthy of.

This bears repeating!
There was an article in the USA Weekend supplement this past Sunday that points out a number of things we have discussed in our blogs about healthy living over the past two years, the most important being:
Your health is your responsibility!
The article goes on to say:
“It is not the doctor’s job, the hospital’s job, your spouse’s job or the Government’s job to keep you healthy – it’s up to you. We suffer from chronic diseases that are too often the result of poor habits. The choices you make today are usually the health you have tomorrow.
Stay active. If you’re looking for the Fountain of Youth, look no further than that pair of sneakers in your closet. A daily ‘dose’ of 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise will go a long way toward keeping you healthy as you age.
You are what you eat. Diets high in saturated fats and refined sugars provide lots of calories and little nutrition. The key is to fill your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables.
The article concluded with two other bits of good advice:
Stop smoking and Keep a healthy emotional outlook

"The Warranty is Up"
Not that anyone cares, but it's over! The tank is empty,the well has run dry...yes, I need knee replacement surgery!
I went to see my good friend Dr Chick,former Cardinal orthopedic surgeon,to confirm what I already knew.As he looked at the X-rays he just laughed and said "Wid, the warranty is up!"
When "Get up, Get Active, Get involved,Get Healthy" became extremely difficult it was time to try and improve my quality of life.The plan is to first try a new treatment called "Gel Therapy". I will receive 5 injections on each Monday to start with and then evaluate from there. Doc thinks I can buy some time with the shots. We'll see.....I will let you know!
