- After walking away for a while and doing some serious on myself, I am back. In the meantime, my daughter has become addicted to pain meds and her crack addict boyfriend continues on his downward spiral. I have changed some of my opinions on how I...
- I did a lot around the apartment yesterday. And even cooked a meal for my son and I. And didn't even take a nap!! And by last night, I still felt great. Even woke up feeling pretty good. And thought..."perhaps, the worst is over." I even went...
- I know we've been talking about fear of falling and cutting ourselves and the dangers of coumadin. After writing the last post, I looked down and realized I must have cut myself at some point this morning while getting parts of my dinner ready. ...
- I am doing a small turkey for my son and I. I tried to explain to the rest of my family that I cannot handle a big meal today. And not one of them offered to cook. So, it's just the two of us. I'd be cooking something for myself on another day,...
- I saw the hematologist today and he said that all the appropriate blood work was done in the hospital and I have none of the factors or clotting problems. So, we will never quite know why I got the PE. He said my pulmonologist was doing a good...
- I've had good days, I've had bad days. Today started out, I thought as one of the good days. I had an appointment with my regular doctor and by the time I got home (more walking than I'm used to) I was wheezing and coughing again. Seems I take...
- I saw my doctor today. She finally got the A1C number from my hospitalization. It is 7.1. She said in a lot of cases at that point they would treat with diet and exercise. But with me being on prednisone, and can't exercise because the blood...
- I was feeling pretty good yesterday. And then I had to go to the hospital because my dad had emergency bypass...which was more driving than they want me to do and also more walking. When I got home last night, I basically was so tired I collapsed...
- I was called yesterday and told that if I wanted to see my Dad one last time, I needed to get to the hospital he'd been taken to. When I arrived it seems the first doctor might have overreacted. However, he did have emergency triple bypass...
- I love to cook and bake. Since I've been on sodium restrictions for 3 years, I am back to cooking most things from scratch. However, up until 3 weeks ago, sugar was not an issue. I have tried a couple of my favorite recipes and have substituted...
- I just bought the above named book. It has lots of information on diabetes and menus and recipes and even talks about the best restaurants if you "have" to go to one. I think it will be very helpful. I love to read. And I do research the...
- I took my blood sugar this afternoon and it was 160 and then I ended up going to the ER for something else and as a standard, they run blood glucose as one of the blood tests. And 2 hours later, it came back at 110. My question...how accurate is...
- I just had another INR (I'm new to this) and it's at 1.7 and the doctor said now I'm low. Two weeks ago I was at 5. I guess I'm one of those who will be hard to stabilize. And they are somewhat concerned, since I don't feel as good the last two...
- The doctor was concerned that my heart was racing when I did things. So, this morning I got smart and bought a heart monitor. Then I can track my progress and make sure I am not overdoing it. It will help down the road, as I get back to normal. ...
- Does anyone have diarrhea from Glipizide? Since I've been home from the hospital for the last 3 weeks, I have not severe diarrhea, but I go a lot during the day. And sometimes have cramping. I don't know how anyone could work taking this. As I...
