I woke up, refreshed and hopeful. (Day 63)

My sleeping has been in odd shifts and spits. I think until my corpse is normalized, I am going to have problems. No problem, so long as I do not die in the interim. That often causes unforeseen difficulties in getting back up and into the game. *grins* I am hoping to be enough on the ball to at least call in to the doctors office today, and maybe do some grocery shopping. Frozen vegetables (along with my high incidence of meats, fishes, cheeses, and milk) are on the list. Out is sugared soda, in is that splenda stuff. That is really my one indulgence into candy land. Though, on occasion, I must admit, I will have a bowl of real regular ice cream.

I am feeling so odd. Cramps in my arms and legs are common. Kidney area, liver area, and a few other area sorenesses persist. I am not sure if that is due to diet or due to diabetes, a slight difference, but real. Not enough of this that or the other vitamin, mineral, or protein and one might find themselves topsy-turvy, aside even from diabetes, though as with that to some degree… maybe. Where is that stupid manual that was supposed to pop out with me at birth. Something about “Care and Feeding of Ogre Mammalian Male Types”. Bah!

Well, I am on the road to writing more, and again. I see many of you have slacked off. Minus Bane, who has been a good bad boy. Oh, alrighty, a few of you others have been prolific in messing up by putting your ideas out there too. You know who you are, and perhaps how oddly true what I just said is. We are in the same boat it seems. The wrong boat, but the best of the wrong boats (minus you socialists… forgivable if you are women, it being your nature (unless you have, graciously worked beyond your nature! Hallelujah!)). Ok, digging my grave, kicking sand in the face of giants, and just having fun and loving it. Give me a break, I may be dead soon!

Welp, gots to go. Charity, faith, and hope, may these be yours even if you are as wrong as me. Love and kindness, me.

  1. Hope the aches can be diagnosed and cleared quickly.
    Glad to hear the speech went well and seemed to give you some comfort from the fellowship there.
    If your lady-friend has been by to aid you some, even better.

    Good to see you writing again :-)

  2. Thanks. I am hoping this goes through and I can enjoy the spring and summer too. I will have to get caught up on some dear (you) friends and see where the rest of the world is too, now, hopefully.

    It is good to see you comment again! I guess I miss that very much.

  4. Doom.

    My diabetes has been acting bad lately too. I decided to parse out the glucophage into AM, noon, PM instead of 1 in am and 2 in PM.

    The blood sugar seems to have shifted back into place. Not perfect, but much better.

    I was getting the aches in the kidneys and liver too, Doom. And my feet, oh lord. The neuropathy is just awful sometimes. And I'm afraid I'm losing my eyesight. It's certainly diminishing, and quickly. Why, I don't yet know.

    Doom. Why, why, why are you not taking glucophage?

    I KNOW you can control Type 2 with diet. But that takes TIME. As you work on that, if you let the sugar run rampant, you are doing PERMANENT IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE to really important parts of your body. If you're a man? Add on your man parts, too, okay?

    PERMANENT.

    We don't want that. It's not good.

    If you take the diabetes meds while you fix your diet up, you not only will readjust to normal sugar more quickly, you'll come out much healthier in the end.

  5. Oh, hey all. I have been making like the sick kid, the really and actually sick kid. Moping (in appearance only, as I am content in my health's discontent, in a moodwise way), barely getting along, and just sort of... alive? On the sunny side, inside I am good. Ok, that was a lame apology, but it is what I have!

    Jean,

    I always miss having your comments. And I miss you. Yes, I do.

    Smartphone,

    I have since change to the Samsung smartphone, however, I really like the Blackberry. If they would have offered easier access (and cheaper) to windows programs (and the editing of things like Word, Power Point, etc) I would have stayed with them. Great phone for those not needing business apps and such. It had a natural feel to me, where as the Samsung is a LOT of work to "learn" rather than just use, like the Blackberry.

    k,

    I am on meds, sort of on meds anyway. I have the prescription. However, becoming functional enough to normalize use is ending up a complicated maneuver. I am having great difficulty doing anything, including feeding myself. So, I am on it like spots on a tiger! Well, you get the point?

    Oh, it's odd our diabetes would be flaring at the same time. Maybe it's airborne? Of course, that would mean, if anything, you are getting it from me? :p

  6. You really do worry me!

    You're barely able to feed yourself?? I'm going to be visiting Tennesee soon...am I going to have to head further north and west to check on you?
    I'm leaving Thursday and coming home Sunday.

    Please, please do what's best to take care of yourself.

  8. Ok. I am actually alive! The king lives... baby. All hail the king, but, watch those hips. They are on a pivot. More in my post.
