Re: your morning coffee;words of encouragement

[Guest guest]

Thank you for those encouraging words.

I am having a rough weekend. Friday afternoon I was just walking around in

the kitchen getting food ready for the microwave that I probably should not

have been having anyway. I felt something pop in the back of my leg just

below the knee. It has really been hurting on and off all night and all

day. It is not as intense now and I can put more weight on it. But I have

been sleeping a lot and I never eard my brother come back with the groceries

today. It is pretty bad when I have to take care of . Luckily he let

me sleep. But he needs his pills, drinks of water and Gator Aid, his milk

shakes and more importantly, to be re-positioned in bed every so often. I

just felt ashamed of myself today and also my testing has come up with some

weird readings.

I got one number I did not like and that was 370 and then I keep getting

readings that just say Low. I retested and it still said Low. I am

thinking it is saying low because it cannot get enough blood.

But they say a side effect of taking glyburide is low blood sugar. So

either I am not getting out enough blood on these strips or I am bouncing

all over the spectrum. It is still a learning experience for me. I still

get drowsy a couple hours after taking my pill. And I have to worry about

this leg because every once in a while it still stabs me with pain. I think

it is a pulled muscle or something because it is improving. I didn't need

another thing to go wrong.

So that was a very encouraging note.

Thank you, Sugar. It is so easy to become depressed and I will try to stay

encouraged. If I slip up there is always later today and tomorrow and maybe

IK will realize it is not a punishment to stay on the wagon but I will be

rewarded by not feeling as awful as I do now.

Thanks a lot Dave. It means so much to have all of you as my cheering

section. I think Dr. said my A1C was 12. I am not sure what that

means, I guess OK but not too good.

Oh! Lora, you hit it right on!! It is a reward not a punishment to do

well, and staying on the wagon! Keep trying! Most of us have been trying

for a long time, and still have our days!
