The Big Visit

Hi guys. Been sitting on this for a bit, so I thought I’d give everyone the update. I had the big appointment with my incompetent doctors on Friday.  They’re still not willing to admit that I’m Diabetic, but my mother took a look at the blood test results and the results from the Blood Glucose test. I am in the Diabetic range for both. So we’re just gonna go with that. We finally got my meter ordered, and I will be picking everything up on Monday since they had to special order another medication of mine in a different dosage. In the meantime, I have been taking 2 of my 15mg Remerons that equal up to the new dose of 30mg.

This new dose, just two days in, has made me more lethargic. In fact, I woke up this morning, and went right back to bed until 12pm. Not a good thing, but this is what you get when you up a dosage. Hoping that this will even out as my body adjusts to it. Was also encouraged to start walking again which I am ready to do as soon as I can get up early enough to do it.  It’s so hard for me to get up right now, no matter how early i go to bed. Once I’m in that bed at night asleep, I am gone until my body decides it’s time.  And if I get woken up before it’s time? Forget about it.  I’m in bed maybe 2 hours later. Wondering if I really just should force myself to get up and walk, regardless. At least on the days I don’t have to be somewhere  else, I can go back to bed if I so choose. Maybe it would do me well.  I guess I’ll start tomorrow. 5 Days of walking, one day of cheating. I can do that. That’s what Dr. Nicole said, anyway. As long as i learn moderation.

This weekend, I have been doing a lot of diamond painting, and working on my Tinkerbell. I had gotten my library’s Christmas present diamond painting in the mail last week, but since I’ve been so busy with writing classes, I hadn’t had a chance to do a lot of the Diamond Painting last month, so I decided that this weekend, I would give my full attention to that.

I’ve also been working on the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2. I’m working on it slowly, but now I’m  getting impatient to finish it and play as an Octoling. I’ve been skipping a level here and there (probably more like every other level) trying to get around the subway system. I am taking a break just now to write this since I know I hadn’t written in a long time.

Oh, I got myself some glass straws to use. I have been drinking a lot of iced tea and I know that my enamel on my teeth is already really weak. They have always said my teeth didn’t fully erupt, so I have less enamel than most adults do. And with some restaurants starting to back off on the plastic straws, at least I will have one that’s re-useable. The set came with one straight straw and one bent one. It also came with a brush for cleaning them, and a swizzle stick which I promptly gave to Dad. I didn’t need the swizzle stick. LOL.

Down the road I will probably get a smaller stainless steel straw for traveling.  But these will work since the bags I use are pretty big. I carry a lot of crap with me. Been doing it for years thanks to a friend I used to room with. I call it my “coping” bag. It has all the things I will possible need while out including earbuds,  medications that I might need (for pain), a book (or two), and sometimes my Nintendo Switch, depending on where I’m going, and how far. My Switch and I are pretty inseparable. It keeps me from picking my sores and scabs. (Becauese it gives my hands something to do,)

Anyway, time to get back to the game, and I’ll see you guys later!
