Welcome back!

I need a vacation. You know, one of those vacations that you can have in one of those vegas hotels, one of those that have all of the trimmings, spa, turn down service, catered meals.

This past week has been rough. We have had to do spring cleaning, go to the doctor, help a family member furnish a new apartment, have a family member visit from Arkansas. I am pooped. Even as I write this my eyes are bleary and feel heavy. It could be worse. We do have a nice bed that is waiting for me right now. One of our cats has protested all of the upset by hiding all day long. She was out in the morning, then hidden. Any way, the floors are clean, other things are clean and re-arranged. I still need a vacation though. Wish I had the means and the transportation. Yawn. That bed does look good.

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. The diabetes hasn’t caused any damage, but I’m now on a new medicine. I sit here at 2:30 in the morning and write this.

The new medicine I have to take is Novolog insulin. I’m supposed to take it within 15 minutes of eating. It is supposed to work fast to bring my blood sugar down. Before I ate, my blood sugar was 183 which is high. Got up this morning and it was 312, which is even higher than it’s been for a while. I guess that I will just check it later this mornnig and see what it is then.

I am hoping that this medicine will eventually work, because I do not want any damage from blood sugars that are constantly too high. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to tell the doctor and let her decide what to do next. Shots are no fun, but losing my sight, or the feeling in my hands and feet is even uglier. So, here’s hoping that it will start to work properly.
