Things are good here...

I have not been on for a while...hubby has been doing great, sugarwise and otherwise. I went to a writers conference and have been working on my novel to send to the agent who might be interested and our sons' band debuted in NYC so we have been away a lot. I have to say that all in all things have been wonderful. Tom's endocrinologist is so please that his readings are so much better. Life is good. I hope it is for all of you too. If not, my love and hugs for better days. XOXOXO

good days

Sugar readings continue to be acceptable and mood = easy breezy. I am so pleased. Tuesday he has an MRI on his head to see how the tumor on his pituitary gland is doing. His sciatica situation is better but he certainly does not want to injure himself so he keeps a low profile in regards to trying to exercise. When we were in California we walked about a mile to a restaurant and then of course we ate and had to walk back, it was hard for him, he complained about his hip aching. But all in all, he is upbeat and his sugar readings are refreshingly acceptable after years and years of HIGH HIGH HIGH readings.

We were in California because I was attending the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. It was wonderful. I got a lot of good advice about making my novel better from those in the know. Evenings were spent listening to best selling authors: Clive Cussler, Erich Puchner, Drusilla Campbell, Simon Van Booy, and TC Boyle. It was a dream come true for me to participate in the workshops and hear the success stories. An agent is willing to look at my manuscript after I work on some things that were pointed out to me.

I am in a good place and it feels good. I hope this finds you in a good place too. HUGS and LOVE.

Easy breezy still

hubby's readings have been where they should be and his mood has been agreeable and pleasant...I continue to enjoy this peaceful, happy time in our lives and hope and pray my sisters out there are having a good time with their diabetic spouses lately too.

HUGS

Good days

Hubby's readings have been where they are supposed to be and he feels good and is in good spirits...I am enjoying this "good" period...and am thankful.

I hope all of you are enjoying a "good" period in your lives with your guys too.

Hugs and Love.

For your Own Good

Daily diabetic drama

My husband is a good actor, I have seen him on the stage in numerous musicals, always in the lead...so I know he can act...but I don't think he's acting when he sits in a chair the entire day, only getting up to go to the bathroom and get something to eat, in between my bringing him something to eat. Is he that tired??? I came downstairs this morning to the living room in disarray...was he so tired from sitting all day that he couldn't at least fold the blankets and make the room look more presentable??? It seems like a little thing... he can't entertain washing dishes because he can't stand long...so okay I will do all dishes all the time...but fold a blanket??? oh well...seems small compared to other things to complain about...it is just that it is what it is...and sometimes a little thing gets to me in a BIG way.

Out of control!

He's been doing well, readings have been where they should be...but today he messed up and was eating candy everytime I looked at him...and then we noticed he had not taken any pills today...ugh...over 300 when he took his reading...so he took pills and had a sandwich and his insulin shot and the sons got all the candy out of the house...
It isn't like I am a bad example I have not had even a piece of candy since last October...I freaked out learning about autoimmune diseases and how it is not good to have sweets and like an alcoholic I can't even have one piece...it leads to more more more...so here I am the nondiabetic not eating candy and he's a diabetic and eating candy...I was so annoyed...but he stopped and he looked remorseful so I guess that is the way it is.

Not out of the woods yet.

And the pain is still there so he mostly sits...this too shall pass, or will it?

HUGS all around. YOU GALS ARE THE BEST!
