One thing at a time please

Posted on August 12, 2011
Yesterday was a tough day. We had an appointment at 5:45 with Dr. Tabsh, but we didn't get to see him until closer to 9pm. I had no idea how stressed I've been about everything until yesterday. Long story short, I ended up crying my eyes out at our appointment yesterday and Frank had to talk for me.

Between the Lovenox shots every morning, BP checks 3-4 times a day, Blood Sugar checks 4x a day, finding new and different things to eat with nothing tastes right anyway, not sleeping very well...it's been a lot to deal with.

Dr. Tabsh was happy with my blood sugar levels with the exception of my fasting. So he is giving me a medication to take at bed time to lower that. He tried to reassure me that this was not my fault and there isn't anything I can do to control my fasting blood sugar levels. Hopefully the meds will control it.

He did express concern that I lost 3 pounds in one week, when I was suppose to gain a pound. I guess I've been more stressed out than I thought. I've been sleeping between 3-5am every day this week because I can't seem to fall asleep. He said I need to eat more, and eat more carbs than I have been eating.

Hopefully this week will be better.

Sorry, it's been stressful. Hopefully, you experienced some relief by letting it all out. I've wondered many times about how you can deal with all you have to deal with. I know there is no one who can do those things for you but you know that we're here for anything else we can do. Love you
