It went extremely well. My husband and I went to Steak and Ale like we planned. Service was great but the kitchen was slow.

He had the turkey feast and I had the prime rib feast. Only problem was that I had run out of syringes and didn’t realize. I also didn’t tke my emergency bag so didn’t have backup. If we had taken my car I would have.

My blood sugar was 114 this morning so I did good.

Oddly enough it seems I only need my emergency bad when I don’t have it. That’s not true as I can only think of two times I didn’t have it and needed it and lots of times when I did and had it.

There are a lot of things to be thankful, even if you are diabetic.

While the state of medical technology isn’t all we would want, it is infinitely better than when my dad was diabetic. They didn’t have blood glucose monitors and they hold him not to eat sugar. They also didn’t have medications, nor did they give him insulin.

Actually they didn’t do much of anything for Type 2 diabetes back then.

And not much better for Type 1s, but at least they attempted to treat it.

I was right. He was into seling baratric surgery. He is probahly right in that doing the hiatal repair would make bariatric difficult.

He also said lapband would not be an option. That’s probably because of the GERD.

He needs to scope and do a gastric emptying test before surgery.

My inclination right now is to forget the surgery and work harder ar management.

I’m at the surgeon’s office and the first qualm is the fact the door said baratric surgeon.

I honestly don’t think that I want to go there. I doubt that insurance would cover it anyway.

Lots of paperwork, stuff I have on file with this group any way but oh well.

I’ve got the whole week off and I left with copies done for the two weeks, lesson plans for next week turned in and almost every thing grade.

This week is about taking care of me.

My husband has been out of town which helps that much more though I am starting to miss him..

I’m focusing on working out. I got an hour in on both Saturday and Sunday and so far today have 35 minutes done.

Right now I’m waiting to get my hair trimmed.

I’ve got depo shot scheduled, contact lens doctor, and the surgeon later on this week.

Tonight I’m doing dog agility and will be trialing this weekend.

It has been relaxing so far, and I’ve been catching up on sleep.

Official weight today was 40 pounds since my initial visit with the Endo, and 15 pounds since Symlin.

We’re leaving everything alone, though I am thinking of the option of skipping Symlin for evening meals if the surgeon can’t fix me.

I see him on Wednesday

Panel to Set Standards for New Continuous Monitors

I woke up twice last night with heartburn. I’m really tired, but thankfully we have a week off next week and maybe I can get some rest. The awaking is really getting to me.

Also the teeth thing is getting to me. I am convinced the reason I’ve been having so many dental problems is the acid in my mouth, combined with blood sugar problem.

Yes — I’m writting down why I need this surgery so I don’t chicken out.

Of course, I don’t know yet, if the doctor wants to do it. The first time I saw a surgeon for my carpel tunnel — he didn’t want to do it. I’m glad now — because I ended up with a hand specialist who did an excellent job.
