would you believe that we had a 50 degree day?
and that I went for a couple walks?
and rode up to the post office with Craig this afternoon?
and that we walked around the yard, checking all the flower beds?
AND THAT I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAMERA WITH ME ONE TIME?
so, there are no photos to post...
to go along with a mid winter report on what is coming up in the beds...
EVERYTHING!
daffodils, crocus, tulips...
iris, day lilies, columbine!
its too early!
the dusty miller is still green and growing...
onions, too...
and those crazy dianthus...
just as green as can be...
so here's the scoop on my morning...
hit the bathroom at 1am, sicker than a dog...
one of 10 trips today...
its one of the medicines they put me on...
finally got to sleep just before 5am...
got up and made my doctor's appointment for 11 tomorrow...
and talked to a nutritionist...
to find something that I could eat...
well, you remember that the ER doctor told me 0 carbs and 0 sugar?
that could kill me
so she told me to eat smart carbs
finally
and the diet that I do for my IBS
is perfectly fine for this...
and everyone is different, so I need to find what I tolerate and what I don't...
I was concerned about the size of meals...
they are too large for me to do at one time...
so I asked her it I could cut it in half and eat more often...
and she said that would be the best way to do it...
it will keep me more level without spiking and bottoming out...
and exercise makes a major difference...
so got plenty of that today, too...
well, for me anyway...
my BS was 198 a bit ago...
and with the infection...
my sister in law, who has dealt with this for years...
said if she can keep hers around 300, she's happy...
so, I guess I am doing ok...
I am going to ask the doctor tomorrow for a B12 shot...
and pick up some vitamins at the pharmacy when we go...
can't do my insure right now...
the nutritionist said it is very possible that with my self made diet for the IBS...
that I could have had diabetes for years...
and just kept it under control until now...
and when all the infection is gone, it may not be such a problem...
as long as I keep an eye on things and eat like I have been...
I had chicken breast, mashed potatoes and french green beans for supper...
and ate until I was full...
all I need to do is find some diet cadbury eggs and I'll be good to go!
you all have a great night!
I will use my camera tomorrow!
another 50+ day coming!
