Monday ,our Friday!!

Today is Monday, which is Friday for us, as David is off work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Last week he was off Monday & Tuesday because of inventory, so this is day 6 for him, and I feel bad for him. His poor legs and feet are all swollen, I am thinking from being on them so long at work. It worries me, since he has the COPD and Cor Pulmonale. I may have spelled that wrong, but it's where his right heart is damaged due to lack of oxygen before he was put on the oxygen. You nurses would understand that more, and if you do explain it to me.

My blood sugar was almost 500 yesterday, it was 491. I am not sure what is causing it. I know I need something to help. I am taking way to much insulin. I have had diabetes since age 19, and I will be 53 this month, so damage has been done and is being done and I need it top stop and stop NOW! I am afraid of a stroke or heart attack. I need to stay around to take care of David. He needs me. I sure do not want to be a burden to him. Sorry if this sounds like a pity party, I don't mean it to, I am scared. I know my blogging friends are having health issues also, and I pray for them daily. I ask if you pray, to add me to that list. I am scared. I don't get scared often about my own health, as I have a very high pain tolerance, but I am scared now.

On to better things. I have a almost ripe tomato!! I am so happy! Finally! Here is proof!! Sorry Jojo. I don't mean to brag but dang it, I am!!


Now on a funny note. I got this pic of David on my cell phone from a co worker. Isn't he a goof ball? I love this man!!! He makes me smile!!



I hope everyone is staying cool, and has a great Monday!! Keep all my blogging friends in your prayers please.Oh and just got off the phone with the doc. I see him Wednesday at 11:10am. Hope he can help me!!

God Bless~
Debbie

hugs and prayers ... maybe its time to change insulins...I would guess like any medications that your body might build a tolerance to the brand or type you are on?
Cute pic there david It made me giggle!
More hugs Laura

Sorry to hear that your blood sugars are high, and hard to manage. I'm hoping you can find answers on Wed.
I am jealous over the whole red tomato pic. I have a ton of green tomatos, and would love a red one to use with my cukes!!! You will have to check my blog this evening, I have a few new pics.
Take care,
Rita

Major hugs and prayers. Glad you're able to get into your Dr. this week. Keep on keepin' on and repeat the Serenity Prayer often. It's kept me near sanity level for the past couple of weeks.

AND I AM SO JEALOUS OVER YOUR TOMATO. THINK OF ME WHEN YOU GET TO SAVOR IT.

Deb, you can count on prayers from me; I say them for all of my blog friends, and extra for those who are going through particularly tough times.

I was happy to read you've got an appointment for tomorrow, and I'll pray extra hard for a quick, relatively easy solution for you.

And because it just seems right, I'll put in some words for David, too. That picture? TOO FUNNY. You two are fortunate to have each other!!!

Take care, Deb...

I agree with Kim---you and David are so lucky to have each other ;) Glad to hear you are going to the doc, I hope he can help you get your bgs on the right track. Sometimes you can do everything right and still have them high...it's so frustrating. I'll be thinking of you and I look forward to your next post.

I'm not even going to mention the tomatoes ;(
