Summers are much better. I like the hot weather, and I love when it stays daylight on up into the evening hours. Definately a much happier person when the days are longer.View Thread


I had another heart cath today because I've been having chest pain. Nothing new was found, both stents are still open, and the third blockage has collateral circulation to supply my heart muscle.
So, no changes at the moment, don't need another stent and no surgery needed either. Just medication changes as the pain indicates for now. Sure am glad it's over, even though I had had two heart caths before and knew what to expect, I really was dreading this one.
I am just all kinds of relieved and happy right now.View Thread


This week...an appointment today for an eye exam. Going to hang out with my dad for a bit on Wednesday. Other than that, just the same old routine, taking one day at a time.View Thread

So, once I got over the surgery, I made an appointment to be tested. Both my parents were diabetic, and I knew how I had been feeling, so I pretty much knew what the results were going to be. Sure enough, I was diabetic. I wasn't shocked or surprised, just finally glad that I had an answer, even though it wasn't the one I wanted.
From that point on, I just started learning all I could about it and trying to take better care of myself as well as being compliant with meds and tests and all that goes along with it. I'm not perfect, and I dont do as well as I should with it. I already have some complications after just almost three short years. Every day I just start fresh and try to make it a better day than the last one.View Thread


Hopefully, I'll get the a1C down even more before the next round of tests, and drop a few pounds as well. I had a small weight loss this time, a couple of pounds, going to try for a bigger one over the next three months.View Thread

As for the low bs episodes I've been having, hopefully a little better control of medication and mealtimes will prevent those. They aren't too frequent anyway, maybe 2 or 3 a month.
So, I think I need a reward. Some extra time playing my favorite game will do it. Thats better than the huge ice cream sunday I want anyway, lol.View Thread
