Another Day Over

And what have you done?

Today I was supposed to be ready early to go to my doc and take a fasting blood sugar test. Then I was supposed to see a new client. Then maybe have lunch, get a few things done before I had to return home by 2pm.

So much for best intentions. None of that was completed. I may have mentioned I’ve been devoid of energy the last several weeks. A bloodtest recently said I had low iron. So this week I went for lasik surgery consult. Like many people, I feel imprisoned by the inconvienence of bad eyesight. Yes, your well-known cortesean cant see inches in front of her. Turns out I am not a good candidate for lasik, and found out the reason is because I have new cataracts forming in each eye. Wonderful. Going blind starting at age 37 is not my idea of fun. Yes, I can have the restorative lens surgery where they take my natural eye lens out and replace it with a plastic lens where no cataracts can form on them. My eyesight would be instantly fixed, with no lasik needed from the lens replacement for the tune of $7,600 clams.

Being frightened and overwhelmed by this news, I would have jumped onto the surgeons table that moment, but Gwen has talked me into a second opinion so Ill be going to an opthalmologist soon and them let them do another exam. That way, I can live through that happy news twice! Yay! Not.

So the reasoning behind the fasting blood test is to see if I am developing diabetes. Thats one of the causes of cataracts, as is steroid use, being born with cataracts, diabetes or an idiopathic cause meaning they just dont know the hell why. Ill refrain from further sarcasm but let me say this…the way my life has always been….infertility, etc., I wont be surprised if they dont find out what has caused them to form at such a young age.

Anyway. No sympathy, just wanted to get that out there. I feel better now. The reality is, is that I have it, and I have to fix it. Whatever is making me feel so lethargic needs to be fixed. It makes me so tired so that I want to sleep all of the time (apparently at 2am at this writing…not) and havent been seeing clients and getting things done as I should unless I force myself.

I didnt get far in getting anything accomplished today…picked up my 6 year old at noon from school with a fever. Again. I stayed close to home with him.

Well, John has been out of town since Wednesday and returns Saturday afternoon. I should head to bed now I suppose. I stayed up late to watch one of my fav movies, Practical Majick. With the boys asleep I watched it uninterupted.

Night.
