If Its Not One Thing, Its Another...



Here it goes again. I sometimes wonder why I even attempt to keep up a blog. I never stay with it. My mind is much too busy to think of one coherent thought, let alone write a few hundred words on whatever subject I can manage to get my mind to focus on.





Really, its very frustrating and trying to keep up on a blog just brings home the fact that it is hard for me to finish something that I have started. But, like so many of us, I am nothing if not masochistic, so here I go again. Actually this is something I want to continue from the last post I made here in February.

That general malaise feeling I was having back at the beginning of the year, remember that? Turns out I do believe it was related to the diabetes. I was not taking care of myself and my blood sugar was outrageous. I have never experienced this before in my diabetes career. So I was hesitant to label the ill feeling as a result of high blood pressure, but I am convinced that is what was causing it.

Winter turned to spring, turned to summer and I finally got myself back to the doctor. She of course, chastised me for not taking my high BS seriously, but I am used to that. My hide has gotten very tough throughout this diabetic journey. Doctors love, I mean they just LOVE to rip you a new one if they see you are not taking care of yourself. Its their job after all to point out the obvious, and the not so obvious.

Anyway, I am getting back on track. Insulin scripts have been re-uped, Hypercholesteral meds re-uped. Hypo thyroid meds check. Addition of Myrbetriq, check.

Now to sit by the phone waiting for the nurse to call me with results of tests run. I already know my blood work is miserable, its the back and hip x-rays I am worried about. The term Severe Degenerative Disk Disease, or DDD was bandied about when I called to leave a message for the nurse, since I missed her call earlier.

Ugh, so what fresh hell has been thrust upon me? We shall see.

Where to begin....

I have started a ridiculous amount of blogs in my life, but like a lot of things in my life, I just never finish them. One of those personality traits I need to work on, either that or I am a closet ADD'r and just too old to do a friggin thing about it. About the only thing I have completed in my life is being a mother, and trust me there have been times I wish I could have chucked that out the window as well, the saying "I believe in retroactive abortion" became my mantra throughout some of the kids growing up. But be-that-as-it-may, I am a mother and still am a mother, though with the last of the chicks having flown the nest (albeit a forced flight) I don't feel like I am completely immersed in the day to day, hour to hour, minute to excruitiating minute of being a full fledged parent, but just about the time I get complacent in my current parental status, something happens that calls me back to my full-fledged status. God I do ramble on, this is not at all what I...

Happy New Year

This being the last day of the year I thought that this day of all days deserves a post on the blog. New Years Eve is a time of reflecting and I have to be honest with you all, I am not all that jazzed about reflecting on the past year. Each year as take down the Christmas tree I place all the fragile ornaments in their holders/tubs/wrappings, usually the last thing to go is the angel at tree top. As I remove her I wonder to myself what will my life be like the next time I see her, lately I add to that wonderment the question, "will I even be around next Christmas?". I think that it is a legitimate question when you reach the half century mark and beyond, especially when I think to myself that my late husband was just 50 when he died. In a few short months I will be older then he ever was. He died just a week shy of his 51st birthday. That is a strange feeling since he was always older then me by 6 years. So my own sense of immortality is called to the forefront as I mar...
