about diabetes and stuff

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just wanting to let you kow that I went to see my FNP. She was pretty

decent to me. I always sweat going to the doctor. Even after all this

time I still think I have to prove stuff each and everytime I see

someone.

Anyway, she refilled my rx for percocet. I always HATE asking for that

as I feel like a druggie. But she also gve me LOTS of blood work to

have done. I will not get the results back for 1 1/2 weeks as she is

on vacation next week so I have to wait for her to come back. But she

is checking everything all at once. Thyroid, amylase, lipase, that

HB1AC and glucose test as well. There are a few other marks on the

paper but these will do for now.

She also told me to stop testing for now as I am getting these tests

done at the lab, and it doesn't matter if I test at home for the time

being. So I guess my fingers will get a rest, unless someone else has

something to say differently on this subject.

So thanks all for listening to me, helping me and giving me the

courage to go to the doctor when I really needed too. Truth be told,

I may bit have gone at all if you didn't give me that push. So thanks!

Sandy,

That's good news that you went and these tests were ordered.

Now, get the tests done and get your mind off it for a week and a

half. Put up the glucometer and take a break from any worry until

you have some actual facts to deal with.

Just remember to bring us up to date when you get the results.

I'll be praying for some good news.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
