You're exactly right about what he does. I guess then what you're saying is, he's being extra cautious & he's taking good care of me. No, not quite 70 yet, but pushing it! Yes, he watches my heart issues & my bad family high glucose. Right now he's having me go through a bunch of test for high readings of oxygen in my red blood cells.
