Health update :-)

Well, my eyes are all better. I am thinking I need to go to the Sec of State to get my drivers license changed to a non glasses kinda person. If I should ever do something wrong on the road, they would wonder why I don't have my glasses on and maybe give me a ticket. Even though I do have these cards for each eye saying I have implants, I suppose that wouldn't be good enough.
I have to wait until September to get that ugly cyst removed from my left eye, then hopefully I'll be done with all this eye DR stuff. Got my drug store reading glasses the other day, they are working just fine. I just keep them in my pocket and put on my shades when I leave the house, plus I need my eye drops in my pocket, if I don't have a pocket then I am in trouble. Leaving the house just sucks, too much baggage.

The diabetes deal is wearing me out, I am so sick of trying to figure this all out.
Do you know that stress or lack of sleep will spike your blood sugar lvls?
Last visit to my Dr he gave me yet more meds, Metformin and Glipzide. I had a nice long talk with my friendly neighborhood pharmacist who happens to be diabetic also so she is so full of good information.

I worry that the herbalists organic supplements and extra vitamins will screw things up along with the RX the DR gave me. The worse part is how I need to take all these meds, I need to be on it all the day long. Some are take with meals, but don't take these two together wait at least two hours between pills. It's like a constant watch the clock and take more pills and be sure to eat the same time of day to keep the sugar in check. I am afraid to leave the house. There are more pills than meals and that really throws me off.

The meal plans are really awful, I haven't found much that I enjoy eating, lately I eat because it's time to eat, it is not a joyful event anymore. I don't even care if I eat anything at all, but I feel kind of odd if I am late getting a meal.

My breakfast for the last two weeks have been the same cuz I know that it works, but I hate it. 1/2 cup oatmeal with cinnamon and blue berries, that's at around 5 am then at noon it's left overs from the night before dinner and some oolong tea which I do like a lot. Dinner I need to think harder, we been eating steamed or broiled fish at least 3 times a week with steamed veggies. Sorry but I think Quinoa tastes like crap no matter how you prepare it. I do love Texmati brown, wild & red rice with chicken in it or veggies any kind and tomatoes spicy as I can get it.

Home made Hummus is a grand snack around here, I have been making my own I might use it on a turkey sandwich instead of mayo or just put it on some wasa crispbread for snacking. One is filling enough.

I used to think that frozen fruit made into a smoothie with yogurt was a healthy drink. WRONG. I have learned that blended up fruit takes away the fiber we all need and just turns it into sugar, a whole piece of fruit eaten will let your body break it down and distribute the nutrients you need, but if you blend it then the break down is done for you and Shizam!, you may as well be eating a snickers bar. :-)
So I gotta nix the smoothies and it's driving me nuts cuz Pat wants one every night
if I make it for him. SO I make them for him and Make myself a cider vinegar with the mother Tea drink.
The new bras I bought about 4 months ago are baggy on me. This is the only place I see a noticeable difference from my weight loss, I'd be happier to see my boobs stick out farther than my stomach. So this feels like a set back.

Where's my mind? I have read all this change in lifestyle habits will improve memory and stuff, yet Pat wonders who put the bread in the cupboard when we keep it in the fridge, why can't I solve a medium sudoku? When I am about to read something I always try to adjust my glasses that aren't on my face before I realize they are in my pocket. The best one lately was when I thought I lost 10 more pounds then noticed I had my hand on the counter for balance.

Anyway, life is good, the fireflies are out of control this season and the baby birds seem to all be stranded on my porch.
Today I will cheat a little and make some meatballs and a baked red potato and probably broccoli
