have a great week.

Hi all,

Much to do today, so this will be short. Like many of you, I thought it was strange that beef would be the culprit of elevated FBS. But, my meals are so routine, with usually chicken or fish, lots of veggies, and a complex carb. I limit fruit to twice a day and call it dessert. Both times that my sugar was up, I had had beef the night before. Like goeblewis, I guess I will have to limit beef to lunchtime. Thanks for that tip, since my numbers are smaller in the midday, too.

The sun is shining, and I have lots to do. Better get at it! Have a good day.

Exercise is off for a while...I killed my foot. slid on some water my daughter spilled now i am sitting here saying OWE! everytime I move my bruised foot. :(

BBM! :( Hope the pain goes away soon!

I had some light bulb moments today. Went to my private training, did some reading about losing weight, or rather, not gaining weight while taking insulin. Since the meds don't make me feel good at all and I've stopped taking them, I've been wondering what's next for me. The Atkins is going well and my morning numbers are looking pretty good (for me) and my daytime numbers are looking even better, like almost normal!

I read something on a different forum about how people on insulin succeeded to lose weight. They all said the same sort of thing, that they decided how much insulin to take and ate the amount of carbs that correlated to that, and not the opposite. They didn't take insulin to deal with all the carbs they wanted to eat. It started a thought in my head...maybe if I were accomodating my pancreas in the state she were in, is that what eating low carb is all about?

Do I just need to find the level of carbs my pancreas can actually handle and then stick to that? Because it's not zero carbs. And it's not 50 carbs, or 40 carbs. It's getting closer to 30 carbs or even 20 carbs. And it's not overeating at any meal but keeping them small, like under 500 calories. And to not do anything more than walking in the mornings, then I can do Pilates and weight training later in the day when my blood sugar can handle it. And going to bed at the same time and getting up at the same time.

So that's what I'm doing now, living to accomodate my pancreas and other related organs. Still eating lots of veggies to accomodate my liver. Still drinking lots of water to accomodate my kidneys. Still exercising to accomodate my heart and lungs. I really hope this is the answer for me.

A quick flyby to say hello and I'm still here. Busy day today. Hope everyone is doing okay and having a great day.

Hey girls, I'm here for a flyby too. :p

I ate too late last night. Then didn't get enough sleep. FBS was 118 this morning.

It's too rainy to walk the dog this morning...maybe I'll try rowing while watching The Good Wife. Trying to get my mind off eating at the moment. Still dealing with constant hunger.

Rie, stress always raises my bs as well as my bp. And I want to eat more. And I can't sleep. And I'm crabby. Then I just want to do some online shopping...hope things get better for you soon!

Stress definitely raises my BS and it has been up the past few days. So is the weight but I know why! :( However, had a good workout at the gym today and then went to town. I did NOT go to the Chinese buffet although I was in sniffing range at 1 PM. I came home and had Greek yogurt and fresh blueberries instead. I may do a shrimp stir-fry tonight.

Busy day for me, and I'm just too tired to say much, but wanted to say hi and let you know that I enjoy learning from this great group!

I still struggle with eating too much. I really need to hack this issue. Today, I ate about 500 calories at breakfast and lunch. Then I was still hungry after lunch, so I kept finding protein/fat combos to induce satiety. I had planned to just do the 500 calories at dinner too, but then started feeling hungry again around 4. But no time to eat because we had the dog to walk during a lull in the storm, my son needed to go to the orthodontist, I had to get some meds for my mother and my other son had to deliver said meds and put her trash to the curb. It was 7 before I got to eat again. I had avocado, a NY strip steak, then a little chicken. And then two hard boiled eggs.

And I'm still hungry! I've had all my water (12 glasses). My carbs came in at 17 gm net today and my 2-hour pp was 106. I don't want to eat anything else. I just want to go to bed. Just someone, please tell my appetite to shut up!

It wasn't this bad before I started medication two months ago. It was there, but not this bad.

I didn't sleep well enough last night. Maybe that's it. I'm going to bed early and we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Weight is back down to 180 this morning and BGL is the usual 4.2. I've considered stopping testing it every morning but won't because I may have those awful lows again despite the change in my meds.

I really need to eat more vegetables! I seem to stick up on greens a lot but they end up in the compost. i did get some arugula yesterday in town and am leaning towards a salad with some HB egg protein for lunch today. When the weather is cold and rainy, salads just don't appeal, I'm afraid. I need a cook - or a mother!

Georgia, I think a big green salad with full fat dressing might have helped your hungries. You were still under 20 g carbs, so it would have kept you in that range, and I think the chewing on the greens would have helped the appetite.

FOr my part, I really blew it on Tuesday, having pizza for lunch, and wings and nachos in the evening at a staff event. The latter was actually not too bad, as there were 8 of us, and I had smallish servings of each, but weight is up, not sure if retaining water or what, but definitely at 170 for now.

Had another all nighter and am still catching up on sleep. Less stress, as I don't have other responsibilities like doing lots of visits, but still getting enough sleep overall is hard. DD is home for a week before her new apartment is ready in town. She was really helpful last night, and we seem to get on fine these days. See how the week goes.

Thank you all for all the well wishes. I was in the ER last night they said it might be a tendon or ligament tear. They want me to follow with an orthopedic doc so he can make sure. I start the nursing program on Monday, and need my foot!!! Yeah a tad stressed on that one. my bp was way high I am sure due to stress and pain. I hope the day brings peace, love, and happiness to all of you! :hug:

Trish - I have always heard that if you eat some protein with your carbs you don't get the spike. I was in the hospital for my heart when they diagnosed my type 2. For breakfast, I always had a choice of cereals, plus a scrambled eggbeater and slice of toast. I usually chose oatmeal or cream of wheat and I think having the egg with it kept my bs from spiking. If oatmeal is a favorite of yours, you should try having a little protein with it.

Rie - I have tried having a snack at bedtime to regulate my fbs and it didn't seem to help. A nurse at cardiac rehab told me don't have the snack unless I'm hungry. I may try it again because my snack may have been too big.

Ruth - I also need a lot of fiber, but I eat a few All Bran Crackers every day and that really helps. I think I will try having them at bedtime with a little cheese for my snack. 18 crackers has 20 gm carbs and 5 gm fiber, but I never eat more than 10 a day.

Hey girlfriends! Nice to see you all here. It's a beautiful day in Central CA, intermittent rain and sunshine. I was just in the backyard collecting doggie poo (why do I always get that job?) before the gardener arrives to cut the lawn and I was thinking just how nice it is to have a nice yard (except for the brown patches on the lawn).

I am feeling pretty good today. Fbg was 113 this morning. I am trying to ignor my hunger, still, but I'm succeeding at keeping the carbs really low again today. I just noticed that at lunch yesterday and today, I ate almost the same amount of calories, but today I had a few grams less carbs and more protein. My 2-hr pp was 24 pt lower than yesterday. I'm sure today's morning activity helped.

I really want to take a nap right now...but no! I have a kid to chauffer! I could make him walk. It's only 12 minutes on foot to the math tutor. Maybe I'll make him walk the dog there...

Hi everyone,

I haven't checked in at all this month and the month is almost over. Sort of ashamed to post this late but if not now then when?

I am almost 3 months into my diagnosis and still having spikes and still have yet to see a "normal" fasting glucose reading.

When I last saw my doctor at the very end of last month he said to continue the 1000 metformin morning and night and upped the glyburide from 2.5 to 5. He refused to increase my Reglan for the gastroparesis and refused to refill my nausea meds as he said that once my blood sugar is under control I won't be nauseated and vomiting anymore.

Well, none of those things have happened. I still struggle with the nausea and vomiting and thank God my neurologist will prescribe anti-nausea meds because he understands how dangerous throwing up can be for me and doesn't want to deal with me having anymore strokes/mini-strokes.

My doctor also said to stop testing my blood sugar so many times a day. Said it was too expensive. He told me to test in the morning one day and 2hr after lunch the next and alternate with just those two tests (meaning once a day).

I did that up until this past week and didn't really feel like I had anything to report in here (how stupid is THAT rationalization LOL!) This week I have been more vigilant about my testing (I buy the strips so I can decide how quickly I want to buy new ones lol).

Mornings have been running anywhere from 150 - 170 (which is better than chronic 200s but not where it needs to be yet.) This morning though was 210. Afternoons have been all over the place but today was 320. I can't just ignore this stuff, I NEED TO SEE AND KNOW!!

On a good note my weight is moving down. I was pushing 260 when all this started. For the past week I have been flirting with the 240's and today I feel I can safely claim it as I weighed in at 246.2 in the afternoon fully clothed having eaten and drank normally. At least there is SOMETHING positive to report LOL!!

I found out one thing this past month. My tongue, body AND blood sugar like veggie soup!! I am typically a veggie hater in case I haven't said that before but I found a recipe for Olive Garden style Pasta e Fagioli soup which I dearly love. I ate it for days and my blood sugar was very low during that time. I think I even hit the 120s in the morning and a 75 evening during that time lol.

Hubby pretty much hates soup but DD is dieting also and loved it so I am going to make more of it. So wonderful, so close to the Olive Garden one and so easy to make. Winner all the way!

Ok, I have rambled on enough so I will stop for now but commit to checking in more even if it is just to say HI!!!

Hugs,
Kellye

P.S. OMG I want to scream. Told DH my weight today and instead of saying something positive he starts lecturing me about eating right, excercising, etc. Finally I just told him "I just wanted you to say GOOD JOB". So he said good job and left the room. I wanted to throw a shoe at him. So, I will only discuss my weight here and with my daughter and mom.

P.P.S. After fuming for over an hour hubby and I had a discussion about the conversation above. After hearing his side of it I feel better. He did not say what he did out of criticism which is how I took it but out of concern because with all my health problems he worries about me and wants me to be around for a long time. He wants to grow old with me (his words) without having me sick, bedridden or worse. His mom had many of my same problems including diabetes and he watched her lose weight from just eating basically garbage foods. He worries that I will follow her course over time because crappy food sometimes is easier to eat. Overall it was a good discussion and I understand his fears/concerns even though I don't particularly care for his method of delivery LOL.

I seem to be constantly on the fly without time to do "indies". i do apologize but MODing in here takes time and I do post an "everyday doings" over on the South Beach Diet Daily Chat thread.

BGL was 5.6 this morning after dinner at Jack's party last night. They had pizza (no salad) and then birthday cake! I came home and wanted some healthier food but realized it was not true hunger, but a desire for greens. Today will definitely be a better day. This morning's smoothie includes spinach as well as the usual fruit, whey powder and ground flax. I'm off to town for a haircut and have a tuna/chick pea salad ready to serve for lunch on GREENS!

Kellye, that is my favorite soup there! Can't have any because 1) I can't stop myself when I eat it and 2) can't stop the breadsticks either! Would love to see your recipe, if you don't mind. I'd have to do it without beans and pasta...I guess that's called turkey & vegetable soup!

My fbg was 115 this morning. I've had almost the exact same breakfast three days in a row, but this morning, 2-hr pp was 12 point higher than the two days before. I find that odd. The only difference was that I ate slightly less fat this morning.

I am off to a full day of activity...hope you're all doing well.

I haven't been around very much. Just been busy so just take time to read.
Still hanging in there. Hope to be back for Indiviuals soon.

Kellye - thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to remember that.

Y'all have a great weekend.

Good morning all! I had a fasting blood draw this am. My foot is well the same, Date night with the hubby...praying that I can be good at dinner and the movies.

Hello all. I haven't been in here for a bit because I feel like crap. I started cramping over the weekend. At first I thought it might be because of my "greens" addiction. However, I started thinking it was my diverticulosis becoming diverticulitis. I don't know what I've eaten to cause it. I have had a few nuts but I've chewed them to the point of becoming a nut butter. I don't eat seeds. I haven't had any corn. What have I eaten to cause this flair?

Anyway, the pain was getting worse and I finally went to the doctor. She was upset because I haven't had any bloodwork since November. I remarked that she hadn't ordered any and I didn't know I was supposed to have it. I don't know what all she ordered but they took 6 vials. The radiology center called this morning and I have a CT Scan set up for this afternoon.

I'm only a generic form of Cipro. If you've ever taken Cipro you know that you can't have very many greens. I can't take my multi and have to watchout with my calcium and other minerals. I have to do this for at least 2 weeks. We'd gone to the farmer's market over the weekend and stocked up on greens. I had cleaned them all quite well when we got home and they are in the fridge ready for immediate use. I will cook them and freeze them for later.

My numbers are up a bit. I'm thinking that chronic pain can make it be up a bit. My dr. did say that greens only lower the number on a temporary basis. I don't think so. When I'm into my greens at least 2 times/day, my numbers at night and in the AM are better.

Right now my FBS is in the 120s. I wish I could keep them all under 100 all day.

Sorry for the rambling. Georgia, I'm trying to follow what you are doing. I am not on insulin but want to get my numbers down and I, too, think that I should almost eliminate carbs.

I can't post a link and the site won't let me copy it but if you search topsecretrecipes.com/Olive-Garden-Pasta-e-Fagioli-Recipe. it should come up. I have to say that as written this is VERY close to the real deal. By looking it up you can read the reviews on it and modifications that others have made.

I am going to also do my daily check in. Morning fg reading was 130 (major move in right direction for me!!) and no other testings as we took our truck in for minor repairs and it turned into HOURS (the shop closed before it was done so we have to go back tomorrow and pick it up. Gah!!!!

Nothing else to report at this time so I hope you all have a good day.

Hugs,
Kellye

I just got a call from my dr. The results of the CT scan are not there yet. I didn't expect it there so soon. However, she said everyone of my numbers on my blood work look good. My A1 whatever it is was 6.0. Sure beats the almost 9 in November.

I have a stupid question. Is a recipe for a Type 1 totally OK for a Type 2?

I'm watching an old Nate show and Sam Talbot, a cheftestant from Top Chef was on there. He is a Type 1 and has a cookbook out there. He uses agava as a sweetener in his cooking. I've been trying to avoid all of that stuff. Do you?

Oh, my reading when I got home was 78. Let's see how much it goes up with our meaty cheesy crescent roll and salad dinner. No greens right now.

Hi all,

Kellye - I googled the soup, and wrote down the recipe. My family will love this, I'm sure. Thanks! Aww, I'm glad you found out the reasons behind the words from your husband. It's obvious he loves you, and wants to keep you around for a long, long time.

I big hello to all others. :wave:

I overate carbs last night at a special dinner, and my fbs was lower today that it has been for over a week. I know that's just a fluke, but sheesh, it just doesn't seem fair, lol.

Have a good weekend!

Mare, you need to remember that type 1s are always on insulin so they get to counteract things like agave nectar right when they eat it by giving themselves a bit more insulin. I had a friend, very tiny woman on an insulin pump. Whenever she came to my house, she anticipated getting fed with something yummy (my housekeeper baked a lot) and as soon as she walked in the door, I'd hear her beeping as she increased her insulin dosage in anticipation of a carby, sugary treat.

Our body still reads agave nectar as sugar. I like to tell myself that I can have something if I want it, but every time my blood sugar goes over 140, I'm killing off pancreatic beta cells. So maybe a big weight lifting workout first, then wait an hour, and then when my bg is down in the 70s I might consider having something carby with protein and fat. But I am not known for thinking ahead that far! So I usually skip the carby thing altogether.

But your A1c is doing so much better now! That's awesome! And your morning numbers are getting better too. You've made great progress. I'm so sad that your stomach is not cooperating for you with the greens. As an alternative, you might consider taking a phytonutrient supplement like spirulina or a greens supplement. I take that when I can't have enough veggies in the day. Maybe your stomach would do better on that.

My fbg this morning has crept up again to 119. That tells me that eating after 7 really isn't good for me at all, because yesterday I was really good with the carbs and the calories, but I ate dinner at 8:30 pm. So, I guess I won't be eating dinner with my kids any more. :(

Today my youngest and I are heading out to Roseville. We're doing an overnight and we're going shopping. Gonna hit Nordstrom's Rack first to find some stylish deals, I hope. I need to get my travel wardrobe put together. I'm not sure what to buy just yet, maybe I'm just going to go looking, maybe I'm pick up some size 20/22s for a great price as motivation to stay on track. I'm almost there. If I don't get there in four weeks, I may have to go back for something just a little larger. But I definitely want to get a cute crossbody bag to hold my passport and other travel essentials. And I need a tote that will hold my laptop, Kindle and a change of clothes. I always bring that along, in case my luggage disappears.

So I will see you again on Monday morning. Hope to have walked off a couple pounds by then! Have a great weekend!

Well popcorn was ate, I had three dinner rolls, and steak topped with blue cheese. Oh not to mention the two cherry cokes. I tried to be good but that darn popcorn smell of movie theatre's get me every time. Oh well I had fun and its not like its an every day occurrence
.

Oh yeah I weighed this morning and was back up to 285...darn popcorn.

WELCOME to the Newbies!!!

I'm back to doing the very thing I've been avoiding. Still doing Intermittent Fasting or Feeding whichever you want to call it. I'll just call it IF. It appears to me the ones who are really successful with this seem to count calories, carbs or points. I want to be more precise and with almost everything having the calorie count on the label, I'm counting calories. Don't have to join anything or spend any money for membership. I did join Fitday, but I find that some of the foods I use are not on the food list and it's a lot of trouble to try to put it in so I'll just use it to read their discussion boards.

Bigbeautifulmama2012 - I do the same thing when it comes to popcorn even the 96% FF... for me it is the salt. In fact, I've been on a salty foods kick of late and the scales are up again. It will take me a few days to get them moving down again. I'm sure your's will come back down as well.

My beautician wants me to joing the YMCA gym and go with her. She says I can go for a week for free as her guest and join for about $41 a month which I think is very reasonable. She says one of the Y's here also offers aqua arobics which I've always wanted to do, but I'm not sure I can swing it right now and not sure when I would be able to go much less pay for it. We're still paying for everything with the kids living here and money is really tight. I would love to do it if I could figure out how and when.

Y'all have a great weekend.

Changed my mind. I decided that if I really want this to work then I need to go ahead and put my foods in Fitday so I can get the calories right and also chart weight etc. I plan to get this weight off and that is that. Oh, I check my FBS once when I get up and move around and it is always a little high at that time. Then I check it again just before I eat my first meal around 1 o'clock and it was 120 today. So I'm very happy about that.

I've been remiss in checking in and not being as mindful when I eat. My scale read 181.4 this morning and I had a BGL of 6.4 which is high for me. I did not take my meds last night which was not a smart move after a day of poor eating. (Lunch at a pub, wedding reception goodies and then starters and ham and baked beans at friend Heather's!)

Things will be better today as I just have to get a handle on my weight again. I need to use my Fitday and FOLLOW it or I'll be moving back up the scale again! I have the knowledge but not the determination. :shrug:

Was hard to get up and go to church this morning. I've been so tired lately. However, once I get moving, I'm usually okay so I did go, I thought maybe it was because I'm getting back on my diet, but it could be spring fever since I heard others at church talking about how they were feeling the same way.

Happy to say that my ticker is almost accurate again and FBS is coming down... even the 1st reading of the day is lower and I am hoping that eventually the 1st reading will be normal. (I buy extra strips on my own to do the second reading.) Didn't get a really accurate 2nd reading today though because I forgot and took a sip of my coffee and later sip of my milk just before I took it. I can drink the coffee after 1st reading and still get a good reading later for my 2nd reading is like a fasting because that 1 c of coffee doesn't raise my bs. The second reading I do just before eating my 1st meal is always lower. Yesterday was 120. However, with the 2 slip ups today and due to the fact that I do eat earlier on Sunday, it was 133 so I consider that to be really good.

Ruthie and Rie - I agree that tracking makes things so much easier. I use a lot of off brands or new things that are not on Fitday automatically. Actually, I am amazed at some of the brands that are not on there. I wonder if it is because I'm using the free Fitday. Anyway, I'm having to put all of the info on them in myself, but I think it is worth it because it will be much easier to track once I get them on there. I'm a creature of habit so won't take me long.

Once I see the lowest amount of calories that I allow myself each day, I start slowing down because I really don't want to go over it too much. I find it is really easy to make my plan for the day using Fitday now that I'm getting the hang of it. Seeing that low end calorie really helps because I know that is where I want to stop. Then I print out the plan and I'm ready to go. If there are any changes, it is easy to go back on FD and make my adjustments so that I stay within my calories.

I guess I cannot take the Metformin. I've been off of it for quite some time, but decided to try taking it again a few days ago. Three or four days after taking it all the spasms started coming back. So I'm giving it up. I've gained weight since my last appt so I am thinking about canceling the appt and make another one for June. I may still have a little bit of a gain, but it will give me time to see if I can get the bs under control with diet and exercise.

Mad - Hope you and DD are having a really great time together.

Have a great day.

In a hurry, but, Trish, if you use the Lose It! app for your phone, you can scan the barcode of any product you have, that isn't already in the database. So very handy!! The entire app is super user-friendly, and tracks calories, carbs, fats, fiber, sodium, etc. plus exercise, weight, and so on.

HI friends, sorry to be MIA so much lately. I am really off track, after being really good for so long. I have been overeating, and overcarbing a lot lately, not tracking properly and not exercising properly. I think I said last week I was going to get my butt in gear but didn't. Went from almost obsessive tracking, to retroactive (and less accurate) tracking. blah.
Weight is up a smidge, but needs to get down again. Going to plan eating for tomorrow, will do atkins, because I think there is a buffet tomorrow night with DD roommate's family. Ok enough whining from me.
I have been reading lots and hope you can get back on track Trish. I know there are lots of ups and downs in your life, and if IF works, thats great, but I definitely think planning and calorie counting are a big part of it. Today, I got too hungry and that really trips me up.
Mare, sorry you are feeling crummy, I need to lower the carbs back down too. If I go too high, I am always sorry.

Ok, committment to visit more often again this week. ttfn

Thanks for sharing this with me, Rie. I switched over to livestrong and using myplate as it already has many of the brands that I use and even some of the store brands that I use were compatible with other store brands. Just makes it easier. It doesn't let me set goals like Fitday unless I pay to join, but it still will chart the weight loss and I like the way it shows the # of cals it takes to maintain my weight so I know I don't want to go that high and know where I want to stop. Kind of mind thing with me that will help me to track better. Also had some good info. Had an article about Intermittent Fasting that I found to be interesting and helpful.

Fatmad said: and took the words right out of my mouth. yesterday I ate three, yes THREE, avocados as a "snack" and was shocked when I finally checked the calories and fat on Firday. This month has been a disaster but May will be better.

For the record, FBGL was 5.2 and weight was 180.4, up over two pounds from my 178.0 April 1. Time fro a serious self-talk and maybe a slap upside the head!

Hello all,

fatmad and Ruth - May will be better for you both!

Trish - you are on the right track again, and that's half the battle.

Rie - I think you are so right the Lose It wouldn't be as user friendly w/o a smartphone. How nice of your ds to cook for you!

Busy week ahead for me. The temps are up and the sky is blue, so I hope to get outside for a while later.

Have a good day. :)

:wave:Good Morning Chickies,

Ruthie - It appears that all or a lot of us had problems with April gains. Not sure what my problem was, but I know I can't let things continue as it was. So it's time to make some assessments, pull myself up by my bootstrings so to speak and make/commit to some changes. Livingstrong.com is going to be a big help with this.

The article on IF on livingstrong really gave me some new insights. There are many different ways to do IF. I can choose to do the eating window of 8 hrs and fast for 16 hrs although I read that women should eat 10 hrs fro some reason. I would love to stop eating before 8 pm, but I know I'll go a little longer so will make my cut off around 8:30. This means I can start eating as early as 10:30 in the morning. However, most days I will not start eating until 11:30 or 12:30. This gives more flexibility and will fit into days when things/days are going weird. I also read somewhere to find the amount of calories you would need to eat to be at the weight you want to be and make that the #of calories to eat everyday. I have often wondered if that would work. So I'm going to do that. It just makes sense to me to get used to eating a certain amount of calories each day and when you get to your goal weight you won't be tempted to get off plan because it will have become just part of your lifestyle because it will never feel like a "diet". I don't have time for formal exercise at a gym however I can incorporate exercise throughout my day. According to the articles I read, this way of eating also lowers our stress level and God knows I need that as well as bs and bp. So this is my own "personal" plan.

Rie - I decide to hit the "myplateD" and it is for diabetics and you can even keep up with your FBS readings on there. I did find out how to set my own calorie settings and goal weight. I guess it just takes time to learn it. I really do enjoy using it. Only thing I haven't figured out is how to edit when I put in the wrong time of day or delete something I put into tracking. I'm sure there is a FQ I'll have to look into.

All of you guys who are MIA, please check in. If your having problems... this is the place to be. We want to hear from you.

Busy day today. DD & her hubby are here today, But I got up early anyway and made my tea and put in a load of laundry this morning. I need to get a routine into my life again. So Jaxx and I are sitting here with him watching BabyFirst while I do my thing. DH has docs appt with a skin doc. Our doc couldn't tell if a mole was okay or not so we are checking it out. Then we go across the street to reg doc office for his blood thinner check. I have to remember not to feed him any broccoli the day before he goes for it as it throws the reading off. :dizzy: DD said that he needs to eat broccoli on the same day each week and that won't happen. So great to have him feeling good again.

Y'all have a Marvelous Monday.
