Well we are into April all ready , Boy how time flys when you having ummm fun ya...lol So I went to the Dr. last week to get check up on my diabetes. and levels are coming down but still not where they should be. So my med were readjusted. Well I am happy to report for the first time in nearly a year or more my blood sugar levels are almost maintaining a normal level. WOOOOO HOOOO still have some work ahead of me but hey we are heading down the right path. I also got some assistance with weight control , which I really need. This is because as some of you know weight and diabetes are connected in ways, I need to loose weight for my diabetes, but it's hard cause of the diabetes to loose weight . If that makes any sense. I did have one scare this week where I miscalculated my insulin and took just a little to much and it dropped way lower than I have ever had , below normal and while I was sitting in my chair I passed out. Now my daughter tried to wake me up several times and couldn't get me awake. She thought that I had just fell asleep. So the next day after talking to my AWESOME mom , My daughter and I had a training session on what to do if something like this happens again. With the way my situation is with my blood sugar this could have been very very bad. Thank the good lord that it all turned out fine. So now I check and recheck and recheck again before I take my shot. With the weight assistance so far according to my scales I have lost approx. between 8-10 pounds all ready and I am hoping to shed some more off before the end of the month. I have changed my eating habits drastically. Contrary to belief I dont mind being big , I know that my weight is consider fat. But I look at my self as chubby and like who I am. The reason for me loosing weight is I would really like to not have to take 4 shots a day. So i figure if I can do this it would be one less thing I would have to worry about. Now I have to say I have an awesome Dr. who is just amazing period. She not only saved my life once already, but she has been through a great deal in her life in the past year and she shows such strength. I don't know personally what goes on behind the scenes . But you can just tell she is a strong person, and very caring. Plus she puts up with me when I am there. The main thing is she treats my daughter great. Also the whole office everyone in there is amazing they work really well together. I just wish that I could see them all while I was at Walmart or something instead of the Dr. office , if you know what I mean..lol This week has been a week of stressful phone conversations with insurance companys and getting ready to change insurances cause I am coming off of COBRA. Yeah I thought my premium was gonna drop , Well thank you pre-existing conditions. So that's about all I want to get into on that one or this will be a 20 page soap box rant. I also have to say I happen to have the greatest Family an Friends in the entire world, Hands down. I really am fortunate to have all of these great people in my life, even if we dont see eye to eye all the time. I know I can count on them when times get tough. I dont think that I can ever express that enough. Even if all it is,is a conversion over the phone to bring my spirits back up that makes a tremendous amount of difference. Just the fact that I can chat with great friends I use to work with on the Xbox really makes my day sometimes. The fact that I probably never get rid of the dizzy spells sucks. I know my path has been chosen for me, and i shall walk it . I will keep moving forward and trying to get the most out of life that I can. And i will always be thankful for what I have. Well I'm out for now.
Peace,Love, and Chicken Grease
Just remember to watch out for Bigfoot, He is out there???????
