YES!!! Some GOOD News!!!

 No one can tell me that prayer doesn’t work!!!

I spoke with Mom a couple of hours ago.  Her heart cath. came back normal.  No blockages or other problems, the stent was clean and looked good too.  When I asked her if they were going to go ahead with surgery to repair her aneurysm, she said, "Nope!  The doctor said it looks like it SHRUNK!"  Can you believe it??  We’re still waiting to hear what the Doc has to say about the Cat Scan and Sonogram but so far, they still can’t explain the spike in blood pressure.  Right now, Doc thinks the new meds will help.  

AND….

In other good news…..

I have diabetes!!!!

I know, you’re probably thinking I’ve gone completely bonkers but this is actually really good news to me.  It explains the fatigue, some of the pain, the numbness in my hands and feet, the migraines and eye strain, the constant tiredness and weakness in my legs!!  The numbers aren’t high enough to require insulin injections.  I just need to change up my diet (again) to reduce my carbs, say goodbye to my Cherry Coke, and take a diabetic drug until I get my diet and weight under control.  

I got the results back to my MRI and it’s NORMAL!!  It shows osteoarthritis but nothing more severe than what’s normal for someone my age.  The arthritis wasn’t that much of a concern to me, anyhow, because I know that exercise has always made it very manageable in the past.  I just need to be able to exercise again – which I haven’t been able to do lately – which has caused me to be very frustrated – which has triggered my depression – which…….well, you get it.  ANYHOW…

Don’t you see?????  It’s VERY good news!  Because once my veins are fixed and I regulate my vitamin D and blood sugar, there won’t be any stopping me!!!!

LOOK OUT WORLD, I’M COMING BACK!!!!!!       PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!        WOOHOO!!!!
