OKAY, I WENT TO THE DOCTOR TODAY, 6 WEEKS AFTER STARTING ALL THE MEDS FOR DIBETES AND LOW THYROID. MY THYROID WAS ACTUALLY GOOD--WELL IT WAS BARELY IN NORMAL RANGE, BUT WAS IN THERE.
HOWEVER, MY BLOOD SUGAR WAS NOT DOWN AS MUCH AS HE WANTED IT TO BE, SO HE ADDED A 3RD DRUG FOR IT TO BE TAKEN TICE A DAY. IF THIS DOESN'T DO IT, I MAY HAVE TO GO TO INSULIN USE.
ALSO MY CHOLESTEROL WAS DOWN, BUT STILL DANGEROUS, SO HE PUT ME ON A CHOLOSTEROL DRUG. SAID WITH CHOLESTROL THAT HIGH I WAS IN DANGER OF HEART ATTACK OR STROKE, ESPEICALLY SINCE I ALREADY HAVE A HEART MURMUR. HE DOES FEEL HOWEVER THAT ONCE MY BOOD SGA GETS DOWN AND STABLE IT WILL DROP AND I CAN GET OFF THIS ON DRUG. AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAD INCHED UP A SMALL TAD--WAS 90/60. sTILL A LITTLE LOW, BU AT LEAST THAT BEATS THE 88/48
AND MY SHOULD PROBLEM IS "IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME" I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHICH WAY I USE MY RIGHT ARM. HAVE A HARD TIME TAKING OFF SLIP-OVERS LIKE TEE SHIRT, REACHING UP INTO THE CABINETS TO GET THINGS OUT OR PUT THINGS AWAY, EVEN REACHING INTO THE BACK OF THE FRIDGE. I CAN'T EVEN OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AS IT TAKES BOTH ARMS TO DO IT--HECK, JERRY NAGGED FOR AN AUTO DOOR OPENER BUT I READ ABOUT THEM SHUTTING ON KIDS AND ANIMALS AND IT MADE ME NERVOUS. HEAR THEY ARE BETTER TODAY.
ANYWAY, WE ARE TRYING TO USE OVER THE COUNTER ALEVE FOR MY SHOULDER I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ARTHRITIS, BUT NOT TAKEN IT SINCE I STARTED ON ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. HE SAID IT WOULD BE FINE AND I AM T TAKE 2 TWICE A DAY. ALSO HVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW I USE MY RIGHT ARM AND HOPEFULLY TIME AND THE OVER THE COUNTER nsaidS WILL HEAL IT UP. GO BACK IN A MONTH TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
GO TO THE RETINA DOCTOR NEXT THURSDAY TO SEE IF THE LAZER SURGERY DONE 6 WEEKS EARLIER STOPPED THE LEAKING BLOOD VESSELS IN LEFT EYE. IF NOT, HE WILL PUT SHOTS INTO MY EYE. YIKES, THAT SCARES ME. tHEN IT IS JUST GETTING MY CATARACTS REMOVE SO THAT I CAN READ SMALL PRINT POSTS WITHOUT BEING 12' OR LESS FROM THE SCREEN. WILL BE ABLE TO READ NEWSPAPER WITHOUT MAGNAFYING GLASS, ETC.
MEANWHILE NEXT TUESDAY HONEY GETS HER DENTAL AND THE LUMP REMOVED FROM HER CHEST. aS I SAID, MY ET DOES THING IT REALLY WILL TURN OUT TO JUST BE A FATTY TUMOR, BUT WE ARE NOT TAKNG CHANCE. ONLY 9 1/2 WEEKS SINCE I LOST MY KAYCEE TO CANCER.
