Not good.......

[DianaB]

Well.....I finally got to the doctor today. I had tried to make an appointment sooner but with watching the kids and all there's only certain days that I can go. We had a health fair earlier this year and it's a really good deal on getting a blood test so Glen and I have gone for the last few years. Anyway my blood test didn't come back too good so I knew that I was going to have to see the doctor. She wasn't very happy......I had to go and have another blood test.......and they took 18 vials of blood for all of the tests!!!!!!! I was worried about being light headed after they were done!!!! But I was alright!! The doctor is changing some meds......I have to start watching my blood sugar better.......lose weight.......and come back in two weeks....then another two weeks......and then every three months!!! My blood sugar is only one of the problems there are several others that are attacking me at once!!!

I also asked her to set me up a sleep test. I have sleep apnea.......and dearly hate to admit it!!! Since Glen's Mom passed away I started using her breathing maching.......reluctantly!!! I do have to admit that I've been feeling much better so I figured I might as well get the machine programed for my needs and I need a mask that fits me better.

I'm kinda' in shock about it all because I have been feeling better. This getting old is the pits!!!!!
