What an oxy-moron. I did go to work today. First day in a week. My blood sugar still hasn't dropped below 200 yet. I am strictly following my restricted food diet. Jennifer (in the office) had a basket of Tootsie Rolls. I could actually feel one melting in my mouth, gettin softer and creamier...and chocolatier...even feeling the texture when I closed my eyes...oh the TORTURE!! I have not had a real hankering for anything like that, until today...when I saw them. Oh, but wait! I had my delicious sugarless gum! What was I thinking!! Decadent!!
My eyes are so blurry. I have on my strongest glasses and I can see the TV and it's 12 feet from my. I have my Netbook screen resolution at 150% and it's 13" from me!!!! I know it's the meds. I am living with it...as if there is an alternative. I can't even see the back of a can...or read a magazine! It will be OK. I was going to try to crochet...but just haven't yet.
Sorry I'm whining. Husband is eating some M&M's. I hate him right now.
I got a necklace in the mail today. One for those who have diabetes. It's too long, but I'll live with it. I also got the pill dispenser because I'm too stupid to remember if I take my meds. I like organization and simplfication. Simple is as simple does.
I'm going to take a shower and lay down. It's only 8 but it was a long day for me. See you soon...

Glad that you are doing some better. Thinking of you, love you!
ReplyDeleteCrap! I posted on 10/31 & thought I was here. So see that one. Love you. Sue
ReplyDeleteOMG that 10/31 posting didn't 'take' so I'll write it again. DM runs in the family...I understand your dad had it really bad. I have to watch my sugar/carb intake as well after my surgery. Special K has a high protein flake cereal like wheaties that's very good & Arnold has a Double Protein wheat type bread - dense but good. Dan even likes them. All kinds of s/f chocolates out there, but they will give you the runs & nasty gas. I like the Werthers s/f hard candies pretty well. Plus I make s/f puddings & have to sometimes drink high protein shakes. I was reading your blog while on the phone with my mother and she said Bob would probably jump off the bridge if his sugar was above 400. He is petrified of haveing to 'go on the needle' which his father was. On a positive not, this does give RC something else to focus on besides chemo. Love you both, take care of yourselves. Miss you.
ReplyDeleteRene: Thnk you SO much!! By the way...Basil IS the WINNER!!! Congrats!! Love you always...
ReplyDeleteSue: Tell Bob we don't have any bridges here...I thought about it! I also know that mother/Gloria had DM adult onset. I just never thought about me getting it. Dammit!! Soooo glad to hear about the Special K. I miss cereal. I have read so much about food for diabetics that I want a buffet. (Of course I mostly like the desserts!)
I found some great sugar free gum but I already forgot what it was...some fruity pineapply thing that I will no doubt get sick of...but like right at the moment. And the Werther's are on the list. I will see a dietitian after my follow up appt. on Tuesday so she can tell officially what not to eat.
I am following the rules, though, and you are so right. RC is my personal health manager and he's doing a great job. He won't let me cheat...the sorry SOB!!
Thanks for reading and sharing with you mom and I'll have another exciting chapter tomorrow!! Love you forever...b
