Doctor’s Appointment

Okay, so I have asthma. Not good. I have to go back for the blood test on Saturday. It took me 3 hours! 3 stupid hours at the doctors! I think that I may have diabetes. She did a test for that. They want me to come back to see the asthma and allergy specialist there. But that woman is only there on Tuesday. She wasn’t there today. So, I’m afraid. The appointment went well considering that I could have been a nervous wreck. I wasn’t. I have to go and get my inhaler from the drug store but I obviously can’t do that without any money. I get paid on Thursday so I’m thinking next week I can pick that up. Monday is the day. I am going to eat out (my celebration lunch from when Ellen left months ago!) and then go to Kinney Drugs and possibly Family Dollar. So now I can worry about getting my blood drawn until Saturday! Not a good thing. I will go after dance class. At 9am when they open.

Sorry for being so brief yesterday. I was in a rush. I was going to be late for dance class. I really didn’t feel like saying much on here yesterday anyway.

Today’s doctor appointment was supposed to just be a follow up to my anti-depressants, but I thought I would kill 2 birds with 1 stone and get a physical. Plus, I wanted to address the diabetes and asthma concerns.  The thing is: I used to be in such good health but obviously am not now. Especially if I have diabetes. If I do have diabetes, then I am becoming a vegetarian. No questions asked. I heard a woman talk about her diabetes and how she became a vegetarian and because she did that, she didn’t have to use insulin. I am NOT giving myself insulin shots for the rest of my life.

I still have 40 more lbs to loose. I can’t seem to do that! I’ve lost 75 lbs all together.

Right now, I’m just trying to focus on the positive. I mean, the doctor’s exam results could have been a lot worse. Speaking of, I just got a nosebleed! I was talking to the doctor about my frequent nosebleeds. And, then, just as I am sitting down and writing this, BOOM! 

There seems as though there was a lot more to write…especially considering that I didn’t write much yesterday….let me think a minute….I’m totally blank…..

I don’t know. I’ve been staying up until midnight for the last past 2 nights. Why? Because of a friend that I talk to through AIM. A friend who saw my vids on You Tube. That’s how it all began.

Oh yeah, the church emailed me and asked me some questions about my social phobics group. They said they would charge a fee. They said to answer the questions and then e-mail them back. So, it’s not a yes or a no. Not yet anyway.

Maybe the diabetes test will be negative. =) Don’t give up meats if you enjoy eating meat, hon. LOTS of vegetables are starchy and turn to sugar which is bad for diabetics. My mama is diabetic and she takes meds, not insulin, and does great! Keep us updated, ok??
