Is he diabetic?

I am too, and recently the only way to control the sugar after having 
reached the max seems to by by loseing weight. Slowly, but it does make 
a diff. The 210 I weighed when I retired in the middle of 2002, has now 
drifted slowly down to 161. And I am still working well enough to care 
for the missus, who fell and broke a hip near a month ago.

I've been getting the pneumonia shot as needed, usually with the annual 
flu but its only every 5 years, so thats helped keep me out of trouble 
in that department too.

I'll see what the Missus might have stashed away thats suitable.
In any event, since you are in contact, I send him my best wishes for a 
full recovery.  Thanks for the heads up on Bob, I appreciate it.
