Yet again…..

..I wait another month to update.
Sorry.
I don’t even know where to start.
Let’s start with weight.  Still around 130 lbs at 4 foot 11 inches.  However my diet has changed dramatically.  As I mentioned in my last entry, I had blood work done with my new primary care physician.  My fasting glucose levels came back at 187.  Usually I am low, like well below 100.  This time I was not.  So, she called with the results and put me on a low-carb diet for three months and then we’ll recheck the glucose levels.  I don’t have experience with low-carb diet anything, let alone diets.  I restrict or binge/purge.  Since three weeks ago, I haven’t purged once.  I went out and bought a book called, “Low-Carb Dieting for Dummies”.  It’s very helpful.  I haven’t had any of my sugar levels crashing.  I do crave carbs but not as much this week as the previous two.  My weight is still very stable.  I haven’t been exercising at all.  Haven’t really incorporated that in yet, but I’m pretty sure if I do, it’ll help.
On to other news with the doctor….I’ve kept this out of the loop as I don’t want many people to know.  My mom does not know neither does my father.  My husband knows and my mother-in-law also knows only because my husband accidentally told her.  The doctor found a “suspicious” mole growing inside of a pre-existing scar.  She took a biopsy of the mole and it had pre-canerous cells in it.  She believes she removed the whole mole, but should it come back, they will have to do another really in-depth removal.  Shortly after the biopsy removal, the site became, what I thought, was infection city.  I was running at 102.5 degree fever, and the site was oozing, swollen and very red, and itchy.  I came in a week after the biopsy was done only for her to dig into the site again to culture it out.  She put me on a penicillin based antibiotic.  ANOTHER week passed and I got the results of the culture….no infection.  I was pissed!!!!  When I went in thinking it WAS an infection she told me i waited too long to come in.  Let me back up here and also say, the Friday AFTER the biopsy I called and told them something wasn’t right.  They told me everything was normal sounding over the phone and to wait it out. I did, but then a week later it was too late….THEN a week after that, I get results that I had NO INFECTION!?!?  I finished the antibiotics this past Sunday.  The site is still red, puffed up, but no longer oozing, itchy and no fever.  To top this off, I have another “suspicious” mole on my palm of my hand getting bigger and it was on my palm longer then the one on my existing scar.  She wants me to watch the one on my palm.  I told her it was there on my palm a lot longer then the one on the scar.  So, long story short, I made an appointment with the dermatologist here in town.  They will be getting me in on the 22nd of July for a full body scan, as you can guess the “moles” are popping up everywhere now.
The reason I haven’t told any of this to my parents is because my mother is famous for telling everyone my health issues.  So I have kept it on the low.  I also haven’t told them of my diet change because my mom will say some witty remark about my eating disorder ways and how my new diet is just another way to cover my eating disorder up.  Plus she’ll tell everyone.  My parents attend the same church as my husband, who’s a Pastor there, and I go to.  So EVERYONE there knows my business due to my mom blabbing about it all without my consent.  So that’s the reason I haven’t clued them in.  This past Sunday was my Mom’s b-day and we went out to Ruby Tuesdays for brunch.  I was and still am watching what I eat and she, well, I know she was at least thinking about it, that I was engaging in eating disorder stuff when I wasn’t at all.  My husband stood up for me.
Things with my husband are going well.  He was featured in the paper this past week, his third time in the newspaper in this area.  I’m very proud of him.
I promise to update more, but that’s what new right now.
