every time I have thought about coming on here, I have been having issues. Be it connectivity, health, time, etc. But you all have definitely been on my mind. I love and miss you all. nothing too much has been going on in the major sense. I had to move rooms about 2 weeks ago, give or take, and since then, I have been feeling a lot worse. aggravated by this room probably being the hottest in this facility. And our current neighbor who has the thermastat in her room keeps cranking it up to 75-78. I never thought I would say I am too hot anymore, especially this last 2 or so years...but this is making me feel a lot sicker. My diabetes is getting more and more out of control, my blood sugars are creeping up higher and higher. I almost ended up in the hospital last Tuesday morning. but we have a new house doctor, and so far I am liking him A LOT better. He did switch my insulin around...I swear my insulin needs are getting more and more extreme. So I am now taking 15 units of Lantus (long acting) in the morning. I take 15 units of novalog (short acting) before each meal plus correction. And I take 70 units of Lantus at night plus Novalog correction. The change that was made was switching the 70 units of lantus to bedtime and added the 15 units of it in the AM. And I went to the dentist today and found out that my death last February has affected my teeth. Keep in mind I had a total mouth fix last October. The last 6 days I have been having extreme mouth pain...it feels like most of my teeth are being drilled without novacain. well...I found out today that I have 12 cavities, 3 root canals, and potential of having to rework a couple of my root canals because they are still giving me issues. And ironically enough, my electric toothbrush died yesterday LOL there is one thing the hosue doctor told me to do today that I fear I am not going to be able to comply with.my vitamin d is once again low. this makes the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years. and along with taking supplements (as well as being put on b12 supplements) he wants me to go outside for a little bit each day and purposely expose myself to the sun. No. I burn waaaay too easy, and the sun makes me feel sick if I am in it more than a few minutes. So...no. I *may* go out with my umbrella, but not in full sun. Other than that, I just do what I can to keep myself busy to keep my mind off of feeling poorer and the excrutiating pain I am with my knees hips and shoulders. however, just one activity is enough to wipe me out for the rest of the day...even if it is just bingo. I am in so much pain and so exhausted afterward. I do what I can, when I can. But one thing I need to do more of again is getting my butt on here more! LOL Love yall!
