Hello fellow followers I wanted to send an update. Here in Indiana winter has finally hit and we had our first real snow on Sunday. Usually it snows by November. Boy, OH, boy am I glad it didn't snow this past Novemeber.
My life has changed so much since my surgery. I no longer wake everyday with sound of my own voice screaming. I do have pain, but it is controllable most of the time, there are rare occasions that I have pain and nothing seems to help but getting off my feet and laying down. All in all it is still a great improvement from what it was. I had my first hemoglobin A1C completed and it was 6.1 the .1 made it high, but the pcp was pleased. I don't understand people that don't want to do this diabetes thing the right way. The complications from diabetes are so preventable, with a little effort and I mean a little effort.
On January 18, 2007 I had to have an ultrasound done for my upper abdominal pain and elevated liver enzymes, as I was checking into radiology I remembered it was a year to the date of having my j-tube inserted. I was over whelmed at how much my life has changed. Don't get me wrong I am not doing cartwheels and there are days that I can barely make myself get up, but eventually I do and push forward. I haven't gained any weight back yet and it seems all the clothes for grown women are in bigger sizes. Funny when I was heavier it seemed they were all in smaller sizes .... guess what we can't win the age old battle women and clothing. I am slowly working on getting my house back in order or should I say in some order. I used to be a rather organized person and tidy at that, amazing how being sick will interfere with every aspect of our lives.
I wanted to ask everyone who has had a tp/ict to make sure they have some type of medical identification especially the diabetes part. I wear a medic alert bracelet but I found some really neat ones on line at a decent cost. These are a little fancier than what I got, but what I purchased was the basic of the basic and I will put the address on here also, I am pleased with what I have, although it would be nice to have a fancier one for special events.
