Christmas is just around the corner - where has the time gone?
I still have presents to wrap, though just a few. Becky will be down after Christmas and we'll go shopping and she'll get to pick out her present(s). Though I did get her a couple of little things. I'll be going to Cami's for the day and I picked her up a couple of small things.
This year I put up a tree because it was something I wanted to do. I can't remember the last time that happened. Normally, I put up a tree but I am expected to by my daughter and it stays up the shortest amount of time possible.
On Wednesday I saw my pdoc for a med check and left with 5 scripts to send in for mail order. The joys of living through chemicals.
On Thursday I went for a Gloucose Tollerance Test (GTT). That's an all morning ordeal. Needing to be at the doctors office for 8 a.m. (they have their own lab) and doing the necessary labs when you get there and twice after and finally the very hurtful finger prick before you get to leave. But not before you are handed juice and crackers to raise you blood sugar level. I also had a physical. This is the 3rd time that I've seen my new doctor. So far she has added 2 new prescription meds and 2 OTC meds to my already long list of meds. She is already planning on what med she is going to put me on when she sees the results of the GTT.
I've been trying to watch what I eat since I've last seen her 6 weeks ago and I've only lost a couple of pounds which I guess is good considering my body makeup is such that it is going to cause me to gain weight right now. Based on the results of my test and the med she puts me on, I'll at least stop gaining and it should make it easier for me to lose weight. So, all this time when I've tried to lose weight, it was a battle that I wasn't going to win no matter what.
Isn't so nice when your body works against everything you are trying to do. NOT!
