The day draws near....

Before I go into how close my surgery date is getting, I must first say that this weekend is a very important time to remember our fallen men/women in uniform. Being a daughter of a naval vet, I have always been a huge patriot and proud of the red, white and blue. May God bless those who have passed on, and go with those who still serve.

So the date for my surgery gets closer.....thankfully! I am so tired of piddling all over the place. It will be nice to cough and sneeze and not need a bath. Not to mention a good hearty laugh is way over due!

I would be remiss if I didn't admit that I am nervous about having surgery at all, but the thought of knowing I won't have those little (and sometimes big) accidents far out weighs my fears. I'm lucky to have a husband who doesn't mind taking care of his favorite patient, and will be there to hold my hand as much as he can.

Diabetes update: I am not taking oral insulin. Can you hear my sighs? It isn't what I had hoped for, but I have to admit my sugar levels have dropped considerably. I even feel sort of human. It's been awhile. I know that once I have the surgery (which has been foremost on my mind and a huge incentive for eating right and getting the sugar levels down), I will have 6 weeks to concentrate on getting a grip on the right diet and lifestyle. Its not going to happen over night....but I am one lucky girl to have a supportive husband friends. I couldn't get through this without them.

I'm going to get my life on the right track, and all will fall into place the way they are supposed to be.

Things I am thinking about: Memorial Day and what it really means; the sunshine today and how great it made me feel; low fasting blood sugar this morning, 127; wearing flip flops all weekend; hanging out with my handsome hubby and doing yardwork; Baseball....Randy Johnson is in town; getting laundry finished....not a great thought but worthy of giving a thought; how nice it was to see my friend's new position officially announced to our company; remembering to take medication, and on time; being as lazy tomorrow as possible......
