Mary and Ed

https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B2TGfvqmJG6vpUM Link to Apple Film Above ^^^ Letter from Mary Zeke’s human, Pete, created this video and sent it to me yesterday.  Pete and Zeke visited Ed faithfully, every week, for 7 months.  Ed’s face blossomed with joy when he saw Zeke and Pete enter his room. Ed would say “hi Zeke!” Many times I was fortunate to be there in Ed’s room when Z & P would visit and so could capture these moments.  Zeke’s last visit with Ed was  Monday afternoon  and Ed passed  Wednesday morning .  The two photos toward the end of the video, when Ed and Zeke were relaxing in Ed’s bed were taken that  Monday afternoon , less than 48 hours before Ed’s passing.  It doesn’t get better than that.  Pete’s wife was served by Four Seasons hospice and Pete wanted to pay it forward.  He surely did with Ed.    1772293603354251.mov Link to Google Film Above ^ --  Mary

My diet in February 2026

 I have lost Some weight. I’m at 163 vs 170 Pete — thank you for laying that out so clearly. That gives me a solid picture of what you’re doing. First — I want to reflect back the big pieces: You’re back on keto Taking Jardiance 25 mg Aiming to move A1C 9.5 → under 6 by May You’re already noticing: Less thirst Less nighttime dry mouth Diet looks structured and disciplined That’s actually encouraging — those symptom changes often show glucose is already improving. The one important thing we should talk about (seriously but calmly) Because you’re combining: Ketogenic diet Jardiance (SGLT2 inhibitor) There’s a known — uncommon but real — interaction risk: 👉 Euglycemic Ketoacidosis (euDKA) This is different from typical DKA: Blood sugar may not be very high Ketones rise significantly Can happen even if you feel mostly okay early on It’s rare — but risk is higher with: Carb restriction Dehydration Illness Fasting I’m not alarm...
