I woke up before nine o’clock. I did the urine test and blood test then I had breakfast. Alex was still asleep so I had a shower and gave Kelly his medicine.
After I had gotten dressed I tided up the house. Alex woke up just after ten o’clock. He helped me put away all his toys which seemed to be scattered throughout the house. Then Alex had his breakfast. I took my blood test then it was time for my snack.
I did the beds and put away the laundry. Then Alex and I went downstairs and exercised.
By the time I take my blood, eat, exercise and take my blood again; it takes up a lot of time.
After lunch I had to get ready to go to the hospital. I took Alex to Nora’s while I went to the diabetes clinic. Nora asked me how I was feeling. I said a lot better since I changed my diet. I explained that I had to check my blood before and after I ate. Nora thought that was quite a lot. I said yes I’m hoping they’ll cut it down some.
I rushed to get to the clinic and then I had to wait about half an hour. The nurse weighed me, she said I had put on two pounds. Then I did my urine test which showed a bit of glucose. Ann got me to do a blood test to make sure I was doing it correctly.
Then I saw Dr. B, she took my blood pressure which was up from last week. I told her I was hungry and had headaches. Dr. B said it could be form a lack of food or from low blood sugar. She said if it was from lack of food it would show up in the keystone urine test. Keystones can also show up when you don’t have enough insulin.
After seeing the doctor I saw the dietician. I explained that I was hungry and the doctor was going to increase my diet and talk to her. When the doctor did talk to Mary they decided since I had put on weight I shouldn’t eat anymore except more free vegetables.
Dr. B said to test my blood three days for one week and two days the next week. She said as long as the blood sugar stays about the same I can continue with that but if it goes up I’ll have to do it every day again.
I left the hospital at three thirty. I stopped at Pharmasave to buy stamps then I came home.
I phoned Nora to tell her I was home and to send Alex home any time.
Alex said he had a good time playing with Lyle and Kurt. He said when they went to pick up Kurt and William from school he saw Brent. I asked him if he waved to him. Alex said no that he had talked to Brent but he couldn’t remember what they had said to each other.
I started to cook dinner. We were going to have steak with mushrooms but when I was cooking the mushroom I found a spider crawling on one so I three them out. That really turned me off eating! Anyways we ate around five o’clock. After dinner we watched tv then I exercised before taking my blood again.
As usual Alex watched two cosby shows, he sure likes that show.
At seven o’clock we tided up the house mostly putting away Alex’s toys. Then Alex watched the second Cosby show before going to bed.
I watched tv and wrote in the journal. At ten o’clock I had my snack. I thought it was never going to get here. I’m so hungry I even get a burning sensation in my chest and it’s not heartburn.
I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
