All’s well with Mom

So we went to this class today, mind numbing doesn’t even almost cover it. Don’t get me wrong, the lady was nice, but had the personality of a turnip. She spoke in a very monotone voice, kinda like Mr. Rodgers after a few drinks. Good news, my Mom’s sugar levels are now after 2 weeks of medication down to 137, they were at 395 when she was first diagnosed. I am painfully writing this, as every finger was stuck today with her new meter. She needed to pratice using it, and she’s a bit of a wimp, so I got to be the pin cushion.  My sugar level is 70, I lost a pint of blood today so she could figure that out, but it’s a good result none-the-less.

We went to Ground Round for lunch and I did really well, I ordered the fajiatas, had them hold the tortillas, and just ate the chicken and veggies. I was however getting more than a little annoyed looking at the picture of the fried cheesecake desserts planted on our table. I bet if when you eat that, if you’re really quiet, you can hear your arteries slamming shut.

    I’ve been a bit behind on the posts… you have been dealing with so much this week, it’s amazing that you were able to hold it together and not use the activities with your mom as a reason to completely shut down and let your own health needs lapse…
