I had an update earlier and then, it gave me some stupid error and gone it went.
Let me not lose my patience and try and remember what I wrote.
Ok, here is my update on my diabetes since, afterall, this is what this blog is supposed to be about.
I have lost 27 lbs. since April 25, 2008, the date of my diabetes diagnosis. I am 3 lbs. shy of my goal. Ok, let me explain. My goal of 30 lbs. is only for my hair. I have been ready to cut this shit off. I hate long hair. Add curly hair in Houston where there is always buckets of water in the air and geez...so ready to die. It's beyond the 10 inches that Locks of Love requires for hair donation. Locks of Love and my goal took on a whole new meaning when my breast cancer scare happened and then when my little B was diagnosed with leukemia this past February (which later became chronic leukemia). So, I stuck to my goal and am just 3 measly lbs. away from it. Yea me! I don't have a final goal though concerning my weight. It's more of me just wanting to get off the meds and not have to inject my side with medicine twice a day. It's tiresome and it breaks me in a little inside when I draw blood and it gets on my shirt. Yea, that hurts not physically too much but emotionally. That's what bothers me more than anything. I'm MFing 32 and here I am doing this shit. If I live to be 80 then I will live with this for more than half my life. I have to be extra careful because I don't want to feel my feet tingle at 40.
What else?
I'm taking my Lipitor. I tried to lower my cholesterol on my own but, after a talk with my doctor, he said that I should take it even if my cholesterol lowers. It would protect my heart. Geez, thank God for insurance, good insurance that is.
Everything though is going good according to my endo and my OB/GYN is happy and I love her. She was the one who prompted me to check for diabetes because of my PCOS. That predisposed me and I never knew that it did. That alone made me visit the endocrinologist every year. I finally hit JACKPOT last year though. (I keed.)
Sigh.
I'm outta here.
