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.

Diabetical: definition as told by the Urban dictionary

Diabetical Saying, "Aww dude, that's sweet!" is totally inappropriate and downright douchebaggary when describing something sweeter-than-sweet thus, use diabetical, so that it is clear how sweet and potentially dangerous the subject is... So sweet it may give you diabetes, the subject's diabolical plan... Wow, you see how she just unzipped her top so low like that?... That bitch, straight diabetical. Couldnt have said it better myself. And so my 1st, ok ok maybe like my 4th attempt at blogging shall begin.

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

Diabetes is a Cash Cow for Big Pharm

I knew about this, at least on some level. I mean it makes sense doesn't it? The much-touted ADA diet that is spoon fed diabetics does little or nothing to help control blood sugars and yet it still seems to be the "golden rule" for diabetics, type 1 and type 2 alike.
