Had my doctor's appt today. My A1C has dropped down to 6.8 which pleased us both, so he will not increase the dose of my newest med.
He did say that I would gain weight with this medication. He is not really happy I'm on it I know...he would rather I take Byetta which is an injectible and tends to make people lose weight but I'm holding out on that for now. He also said he would still like me to lose some weight and if I do he'll have to take me off this med (the one I just started taking) because I will have too much trouble with hypoglycemia. I told him I'm tired of dieting...will be somewhat careful but I do not know whether I can ever lose weight now. I just hope to not gain. As for as the hyperglycemia, right now on this dosage as long as I eat often, I'm ok. It was overall a pretty pleasant visit and we seemed to understand each other.
Did I tell you I found a trundle bed I like (for gc)? We are to pick it up today. I like it better than any I've seen in the stores and because I only need one mattress, they gave me a discount of $75! It is blue and will look great in my office. So yesterday I started decluttering my office in preparation for bringing in the new bed. I have filled 5 boxes of cookbooks. I put them in the front hall and will wait a bit to give them away as when I'm done decluttering it is possible I can keep some of them. They are very nice books. I put a small bookcase that was holding them in our bedroom where I sit to read my Bible and pray, and it is now holding a few cookbooks (hopefully I can eventually move these back to the office) and books and sermon notes etc I use in my devotionals.
Today I will clear off everything on the twin bed and stored items that are in my office so we can more easily remove the current bed. What I'm going to do with all the stored items (everything tends to land up in my office!) I don't know but I'll figure it out. After that the next and probably most important area for decluttering is the office closet where I have a huge number of books. When decluttering the garage I brought in a large number of children's books that the grandchildren may want some day and put them on wall shelves in my office. So many books...
tabracadabra - I don't believe I have welcomed you. Welcome!
Glad you have joined us!
Need to get to work...last couple days little housework has been done other than decluttering.
Finally found the 3FC tickers so set it up. I set my goal as 140 this time as I don't know that I should go lower at my age plus as I told my doctor at this point I don't have any great hope of reaching it anyway. I'll be happy to maintain but you never know so I do want a goal.
