The plate!Nov 12 2009 09:38
Ok, some of you have been very nice and pm me to see how I am doing, so I thought I'd give you a run down of what is going on.
First of all, I had my dietician, nurse appointment on Monday at the hospital. It was a one on one seesion and I learned more through this session than I did in a group one because it was taylored to me. I will be doing carb counting instead of a sliding scale, and this has confused the dietician opposed to the pharmacist that was sitting in. Won't go into what I learned but, I had been doing a couple practices that I didn't know I was doing wrong, that caused my blood sugars to roller coaster so much. It had nothing to do with the diet, but the amount and time I gave myself insulin according to the different foods eaten.
Second of all, Beauty is having to have drops and two types of ointments put in her eyes 3 and 4 times a day depending on which one. It keeps me on my toes and pretty much at home or know I have to be at home at a certain time. This I am sure would adjust if I worked.
Third, we have been having vehicle problems and repairs and that is expensive. Then there is the projects that DH starts and doesn't finish. Can you believe my dishwasher still isn't back in its original place? It's been close to 6 weeks.
Sleep patterns are messing me up because of my chronic condition and then yesterday I had my mammogram. Praises to that! no new spots. So I am scheduled for next year.
And last evening when we got home from the hospital, Sandy greeted us at the door limping again. ANOTHER ACL problem, which she had two surgeries on. My worse nightmare, or at least one of them,. So today, she is walking fine and running. But I did call Dr. Steve yesterday but he was off and he returned my call today. She probably strained it and to keep her quite for about a week.
And on the way home yesterday from the hosptial we noticed our blower motor going out on our heating system. Another repair. The dryer isn't drying now. The clothes take at least 2 or more hours to dry.
So, I am sure you all can understand what is going on with me. All this and I am having to keep track of EVERYTHING I EAT AND MY BLOOD SUGARS FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH. This will help me remain in better control but . . . it sure is a lot of work. DH is helping on some of the medicines, but he isn't doing the cooking and cleaning of the kitchen or laundry and I am still trying to get him to clean his two bathrooms he took over.
Take care and God Bless.
Ok, I now have a turkey platter of things. I want a tea cup plate.
Praying for you and all your challenges. {{{{{{SUPER HUGE HUGS}}}}}} V |
holy macaroni heavenly. You are loaded down. Hope you, Beauty and Sandy are on the mend. I wish I could send you a tea cup plate. Keep your chin up..Hugs to you.. |
When it rains it pours...old saying, but ringing very true lately. Keep the faith. God is good All the time! Even through the rough times. Take care! |
big *HUGS* sounds like alots going on . unfortunately sometimes in life we have to go through the rough to get to the smooth , thinking and praying your life will become less complicated soon h x |
I'm praying for you,too. That all will work out for you. And here's some hugs from me. |
Bless your heart - yes there is a lot on your plate - and you are doing your best to keep calm DURING these storms. It may seem like an eternity but soon it will be past. I love Psalm 23 where it says in vs. 4 "even though I WALK THROUGH ... for you are with me ..." - I see this as a walk through whatever problems/stresses: we shall not be lost in this valley, but get safe to the mountain on the other side. Hang in there! I had to chuckle though about your dishwasher. We have not used ours for over four years - never had it replaced after it broke down or even tried to repair it (kudos for at least trying). Everything is done the "old" fashion way. The good thing is now that I have become a little more mobile - I am able to stand at the sink and do the "cleanup" after Andy does the "cooking". Well the good thing is with the tools here on CC does it make it easy for you to keep track of your food or do you have to have a special chart?

Sarah Acuna UPDATE: for those that are close to Claire you know I'm her daughter... She is in the hospital right now, she will most likely be in through the weekend. I will try to post on here wall as more info becomes availble. Right now she is getting care and hopefully rest. |
Praying for you and your family (including Sandy and Beauty they are your "babies" after all). Just remember God is with you and he only gives us what he knows we can handle. Even when it seems too much He will help us find the power to make it happen. {{HUGS}} |
Like I said....Your plate isn't full...it's OVERFLOWING!..But I have a story to tell you... One day, I was praying to G-D...please Lord help me..there is just too much for me to deal with...I can't do it..it's too heavy..it's too hard... I'm just not strong enough...Please , I'm Begging You...Help Me!! Now, being the Loving G-D He is....He said, My Child...Go down into this whole I have made and you can carry that HEAVY cross around, and you shall see others, also carrying heavy crosses, so I went. It was a huge room and everyone was burdened by this HEAVY CROSS ..just walking, moaning ..crying..and walking in a tremendous circle....After a while, I could hardly stand..as I drudged and shuffled my feet ..holding this Enormous Cross on my back....I looked over in the corner, and I saw this little -twig-like size cross...and I asked G-D...Lord.....May I have that little one ..in the corner? And G-D just in His comforting way, laughed and .said " Of course, my Precious Child...That is the Cross You came In with anyway.".... point being....We are all stronger than we think... And with G-D by our side and a few really special friends...we can and will get through anything and everything....We may not like it as it is happening...but somewhere there is a lesson being learned..and when the joyous times come....We surely appreciate them.....just can't have the Joy without the Pain.... I would have figured it out by now...trust me..I've looked and searched..Hang in there my dear friend..You are in my heart and thoughts...for always. Bless You and Yours!! |
