I'm having brain fog today so this will be short and sweet.
Buddy and I have been taking extended walks for the last four days. Now a Buddy Walk is not fast so the amount of calories burned is minimal but it is good for my hip joints to be moving.
I'm still sleeping nights and have accomplished much this week. Finally went to take my blood test after the Doctor called and left a nagging message. I was supposed to go last Thursday or Friday but I was waking up at 3 am then and could not go that long with eating. Anyway, mission accomplished.
I also went to the eye doctor and got my new prescription. I am happy to announce that my eyes are free of any diabetic damage. So thankful. Since the cataract surgery this summer I have had terrific distance vision and almost nonexistent close-up reading. She knows I am retired (insert and poor) so she recommended I go without any glasses by using cheaters for reading. Now those of you who have problems with your close-up vision whether naturally or after cataract surgery, know what a pain finding and/or putting on your cheaters is. I have decided that I will get the prescription with the close-up and something she added to distance for driving at night. Money is tight now so maybe next month.
And if that wasn't enough, I have emailed with the nutritionist/diabetes educator several times and she will help me set up my meal plans. I laughed when I had to tell her that I don't like to cook, can't afford much in groceries and it all has to fall in line with my diabetic restrictions. Hahaha. She'll be earning her money. My appointment is something like Jan. 24. She must be good if she is booked up till then.
More later.....
