at least if I am at home.
The Haversian Canal: Call an Ambulance, in the US
I live in Farmers Branch, and recently ourfire department won an award for having one of the fastest response times in the country. Also the fire station is so close, that it probably takes them longer to turn on the unit than it does to drive here.

By the way, just from the first entry, I pass.
I like my hot tub too much to have to deal with $40.00 sensors.
Not to mention the pool, which is miserable this time of year.
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

However, the article is inaccurate when it talks about Symlin.
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.
Hopefully I still have the comments working. The Spambots found me again.
I’ve lost two more pounds which I didn’t really think would happen this week because my appetite was almost out of control this weekend. Also my insulin level was higher, because most of what I was craving was high in carbs.
I feel really good about the weight loss I’ve experienced so far on the Symlin, because it is fairly slow — 2 pounds in a week is a lot for me, but I can definately say that starvation was not involved this time.
Also, the changes I’ve made in my life are definately sustainable.
I’ve been meeting some other goals — last night I was able to do 30 minutes on the treadmill without stopping. And it was at 2.7 mph.
I’ve been having to break up workouts due to either leg or foot pain, and will often do as little as 2 1/2 minutes at a time to get a workout down — In fact did that on Saturday, but primarily because I was trying to increase my speed to 3.0.
I’m off all next week, so in addition to getting all my medical issues dealt with — I’m seeing the surgeon, my CDE, and getting a Depo shot, I’m going to try to double my cardio workouts.
