Answers...and more questions

Husband is home. He is having chemo. We'll see what's next. He's upset.

I haven't been feeling great so I went to the DR. A different DR. I saw the girl (I can't think of her title, she's an assistant...the one who takes your history and preliminary symptoms) and I explained how I felt at that moment, how I have felt for the past few months, and she asked if I would want a Blood/Glucose test right now, rather than wait until tomorrow AM when I will get complete blood screening and I said "sure"". (It cost an additional $13). She stuck my finger and said "Oh my God".

I said, "Pardon me????"

She said, "Your blood sugar is 478. That's dangerous...Let me get the DR."

I thought, "F**ing right get the DR!!"

She came back. "Can you pee in a cup?"

I said. "Are you kidding! I can pee on demand!"

This little test showed off the chart ketones. I have no idea what a ketone is. But mine are purty special! They show really, really pink on that chart!

So I left there in route to the pharmacy for medication and a monitor. The pharmacist said..."you might feel a little uncomfortable having to test yourself, so someone might have to do it for you."

(Husband? With a razor blade to stab me? He'll be delighted!)

Tomorrow morning I will have a complete blood workup. I have tested myself once since I got home and before I ate green beans and it was 369. See!! I'm better already!!

BFFMS took me to the butcher, I mean the DR, and when I came out and told her what happened, she....that Sara!!! she's so funny girl!!...said "I knew it! I knew that was what it was!!" Oooooo she's a clever one, that Sara!! I could have saved myself $78!!!! Of course...getting that prescription may have been a little tricky.....

I am very fortunate that I have wonderful friends. BFFMS is amazing. She is such a support person for me and I thank her. I know she'll read this later...it will be a while as she and BFFAL are going to see Secretariat tonight....but thank you Sara from the top and bottom  of my heart for everything.

I am so glad to know what is wrong. I will be very honest in telling you that I have been very scared about my health. I'm not saying that I was given bad medical advice prior to today...but I am glad that I went to a different DR today. It may have saved my life....and I mean that sincerely.

Now I can prepare myself for my future. First of all...I need to figure out what to do with those damn Krispie Kreme Donuts that I ordered from the school kids! They will be here on Friday. Damn the luck!! Damn! Damn! Damn!

I almost forgot! I can still take my One-a-Day Gummie Vitamins! Decadent!! And I could sure use some cookies right now. I think it's going to be hard to not eat what I normally would have eaten by now (which would have been a healthy amount). I have been eating a lot and often which I understand now, is a symptom. But I like food. I can eat a whole can of peaches in a sitting and I am used to eating that. WOE IS ME!!!!!!! I'll eat another can of green beans.

I need to look a few things up. Might be back later. Have a nice evening...
