Up and, well, just up.

.

I do hope to finish a few things, start a few things, and continue a few things.  I am feeling a bit rough today.  Just odd varied bodily complaints.  I am doing well with brushing, at least with the morning and night routine.  It's the aftermeal one(s) I... need to work on.  I stilll wake with bad breath, only now I know it.  I'm not sure that is an advantage, for me.  The rest of the world may disagree.  How in the world... I clean and sanitize, only to wake as if... I don't know.

Fasting blood sugar is a little high, again, at 151.  A longer fast, hopefully until Monday or later.  If I can hit five days... or, when I can hit five days... or more, I will.  Blood pressure was 138/100, p. 80.  That has been the same, give or take five points, the last three times, mornings and nights, since beginning that yesterday.  Still a bit high.  I am thinking of adding another carvedilol, though may hold off to see if fasting brings it into alignment.  Several more 'fasting treatments' and I am hoping my readings will more fully normalize... and stay regular.  Got to admit, fasting is helping.

The glasses I got from the V.A. are really off.  So, when the glasses I ordered off-site came, I wasn't sure.  Bother trying them or just send them back?  I went ahead and tried  them.  Better but still off?  Is it just getting used to new glasses?  I will try the V.A. glasses again.  Though those were truly awful.  I couldn't see through the upper or lower portions.  To be fair, everybody gets a pass, will mess up.  It's a bit the scripts and a bit the making of those... the first failure for them.  I do need to call.  All glasses have to go back.  What a pain.  Strange, the Chinese knock-offs were better, with a bad script?  Weird.

Actually I will be keeping the standard, non-bifocal glasses.  Even flawed they are better than the last glasses I got (not at the V.A., but at a local eye doc they sent me to see).  I won't let the V.A. experiment on my eyes anymore.  No drops, no dilatation, none of it.  Maybe that will help them focus on what I need, not on their trainees' curiosity.

Later.
