one day at a time

Hubby had a sleep apnea test and is anxious to wear the sleep apnea mask to bed now. He wants to, he is so tired of being tired.
His blood sugar is fairly well controlled lately.
He is still experiencing loss of peripheral vision and I do the driving.
We are having vegetable juice each morning, inspired by Joe Cross and his wonderful FAT, SICK, NEARLY DEAD documentary. We are both trying to eat more raw vegetables but no white potatoes, tomatoes, or peppers since they cause inflammation.
I am speaking at my publisher's convention this Saturday so we are combining it with a visit with our oldest son and family. I am looking forward to it.

I hope you are well...hugs and love.

Long time...

Much to update...had a tenth grandchild...went to meet the little cutie and did...then hubby woke up with no peripheral vision in his right eye...had a stroke. We are dealing with that and he also has other things going on...swollen aorta...have an appt. soon with a vascular surgeon...so for the most part he has control over his sugar but sleeps a lot and has all these other health concerns lately. I keep positive, but am doing all the driving which I don't mind but am concerned with his health in general...like things are getting good and now what...staying positive. HUGS and LOVE

howdy

Had a scare yesterday...hubby was soooo tired, just wanted to sleep...was blah. I just had a bad feeling. I even asked him if he'd had a stroke. Seems like an extreme reaction, but it made me realize again that I am married to diabetes. He is okay today...but I am on watch at all times. How are you, ladies?

checking in

I got through Thanksgiving! hubby was off...eating pies etc and I noticed a difference...now that he is almost always in the good blood reading range I saw how he was back to the high sugar behaviors...mind games...mean spirited at times...don't miss that...he is back to better choices this week so yeah!

how are you all doing?

how are you?

I miss my gals...how are you all doing? Things are good for the most part...yes, i am still married to a man who has diabetes and it is a daily reality for both of us, but the managing part has been going well...he takes care of his pills, ordering, putting them in the daily pill keeper, etc. I have his insulin and syringes in my purse and an extra blood monitor in my purse for when we are out and about. It has been working for us.

We ordered an eliptical machine for the house so he can get more exercise and not battle the elements etc. I will report back after it arrives to let you know how that is going.

You gals mean a lot to me and I have been neglectful lately...that will change...on a personal note...I sent my manuscript off to the agent who is interested in reading it.

HUGS and LOVE
