` Well, I guess i will watch a little Perry Mason and try to fall back to

Hi Becki,
I hope you were able to fall back to sleep. I also hope you are not
getting sick.
I can’t believe you are just about finished with your Christmas shopping! I
haven’t even given it a thought. Truthfully, I love to wait until Dec 1. I
love the hustle and bustle of the season!
I am still smoke free and I am very crumpy! Thanks for the encouragement.
The other post was very beautiful and so true. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good day,
Christine

Thank you for sharing that article with us. It is so right and true. Like
you I have been having a bad patch. Also like you I am having sinus
problems, but don’t think I will get down sick with it. I also was up
coughing at four, but that was CST.

Gail, I just received your pychic cough an hour later. I really hate to
cough up all the stuff but at least it is out of my system. My sugars
have also been a little higher and so is the blood pressure. I have
surmized that it is from the lack of sleep and coughing, My husband is
just about over his and it took about a week so hopefully by next Sunday
I wil feel like my old self. Becki

Christine,
Hang in there…the finality of being smoke free is good for you and
your family. Just think you will be saving so much money that you can
take a trip to Tampa. It is a pretty coast over here. Your kids would
love to shell over here.
I still am fighting this cold and my sugars are showing that I have
some infection somewhere. I am not running a fever but have a bad cough
and doughing up lot of stuff. slept a little better last night. Went to
bed with a sore throat and headache. This morning it seems to be better.
STill busy at work…got the club paper printed for the first draft so
now must assemble it. Just so much to do in such a small time. We also
had the licensing people out for child care and our club got a 92 which
is great. We got maked down on things that we had no control of. I was
pleased because we did not get marked down because of me. That was also
a relief. Well, I must run…Becki

Hi Becki,
Thanks for all the encouragement. It is so tough! I know it takes a while
to feel better. I want a cigarette badly! I really will like to come to see
you and your coast sometime after the holidays. I think it will be so great
to meet you!
I hope you are feeling better, soon. I do agree with Jan’s post about seeing
the doctor and getting antibiotics if necessary. Don’t wait.
I am glad you got a good rating at school. I am sure you are a very
conscientious worker!
I am going to post the cardiologist visit on the list so I don’t have to
write it twice. Ok?
Hugs,

Thought I was better, then coughed all night last night. I get choking
spells, always have when I have a cough. I really don’t feel too bad, just
hate the cough. Mine are always dry coughs. Hope I can sleep tonight. My BG
are doing really good here lately, just last night. I changed infusion
sites and evidently the infusion got crumpled. I have been having trouble
inserting my infusion set ever since the swelling has gone down. It is like
my skin has toughened or there is stretch marks. I can’t see any, but I
can’t get my needle to go in. Last night it took three sets and I was still
up at midnight with high and had to change it. Got it in ok then. I use
softsets QR, I wonder if I need another kind, don’t know.

I don’t know if you posted when I was sick or not, but I really don’t
understand exactly what your club is or what type of work you do with it. I
would love to hear about it if you feel like responding. I had to give up
nursing four years ago. It left a big hole in my life, but I was glad to be
able to quit. I couldn’t do it anymore.
I have a low vision support group I go to. It is in another town. They are
going on a field trip this month, first ever. I will not be able to go, I
am not up to a day trip yet. Hate to miss it. I enjoy many of the people
that go, they are very supportive.

Becki,
I sure hope you enjoy your visit to Minnesota. Visiting family for
Thanksgiving?
You better not get sick! You deserve a vacation.
Since the stress of the heart tests my readings have also been elevated. I
usually am between 90-110 in the am and now I have been slowly rising. At
first the doctor daid not to obsess, they should go back down when I recover
from the stress. Well each day they are going higher with yesterday being the
highest at 144. I am getting up to go to the bathroom again during the night
and my neuropathy is bothering me again. These things were so much better
when the sugar was lower. The doctor did tell me to take one more Glucophage
in the morning along with the one I take at dinner. Today’s reading was 130.
I feel more comfortable knowing they should go down again and then after a
while I might be able to eliminate the extra pill. Maybe the stress of
quitting smoking is keeping them elevated, also! But that should also get
better in time. When oh when, I wonder!! :~)
I hope you are feeling better and have a wonderful vacation.

Christine,
I think a little higher sugars is worth the not smoking. I worried
about you when you said tht you didn’t think you could quit. I wish that
my sister would. Smoking is just not nice to our bodies whether we have
problems now or not. You are doing so good and we all are proud of you.
We do not care if you are a little grumpy. We are there to pull you
throug and give you a laught or to. I just wish this sore throat would
go away. I know that i would feel better. I really am looking forward
to getting away BUT I really do not know if I would like to be in the
cold. Arizona or Mexico sounds more friendly Or howabout SA,,,,Becki

Once again, Becki I thank you for the encouragement! I think I am a little
less grumpy…..maybe we should ask my kids!
I do hope you feel better soon! Like Jan said though, Don’t have the flu shot
if you aren’t well. I am sure you doctor will tell you this.
Let’s all go to SA!!!

I hope you can find the time for all the *fluff* without stressing to much.
Traditions are so nice. I know you must be so happy that your daughter will

I am feeling much better and so are my family members. Thanks for
asking. No my boss has not left yet but he is really trying. He has had
a job offer that he is considering. It is going to be tough without him.
I am very concerned. Right now I am not thinking about it but looking
forward to our weekend together as a family. We are going to have 2 days
off together which is unusual for my family. Hubby and I are going to
make the most of it. We are planning a visit to Orlando. Will write
more on Tuesday. Becki

Hi Gail
It is so nice to hear from you. I am feeling better but have been
under a lot of stress at work. My boss is looking for another job, my co
workers do not work, and that leaves me with a lot on my shoulders. This
has really bothered my sugars. I find it very frustrating when you do
not change your eatting pattern and your sugars seem like a yo yo. I
work so hard to count the carbos, eat on time, and take my meds. I am
very active at the club so exercise I am getting but not as much as I
should. I really am looking forward to some time off. We are so
understaffed for what we want to do. That is another story.
Then my daughter is giving me grief about wanting her to do to a
tutoring class before school to help her with her math. She is in the
9th grade has dyslexia, and has had 4 different math teachers in one
semester. I do no think this is fair to the children. She does not want
to go but I am insisting and that is bothering me a lot so I am sure that
is bothering my sugars. So glad that my health is better.
This last weekend we had a nice visit in Orlando. It was lots of fun
just being away with my family. We stayed over and went to a real neat
resturant. It was called Las Vagas Buffet. Great variety of foods and I
over ate but it was good and I needed a break. Then we went to a flea
market and a real big outlet mall. It was so much fun and relaxing. Now
we are looking into going to Arizona. Keep me in your prayers. I need a
little support right now. Becki

Good to see you posting. How are things going at work? I know you have been
tired here lately, but I didn’t know if things were difficult at work.
At least you have a weekend to rest up now. Was hoping vacation would help
some.
Take care.

Gail and gang,
Have a diet coke for me. I wish that we all could meet and have a
blast. I really need my friends today. I just talked toa very dear
friend who is diabetic. She is 66 and has lost all her sight (sees gray)
and has lots of nerve damage. She just called to tell me that she would
not be at our meeting on Friday. You see her kidneys totally shut down
on Sunday and she has been hospitalized for a day and they had to cut
down into her veins to put the shunt in. Her body is rejecting it and
the treatments are not working too well. She said it took 6 hours to do
a 3 hour job. It just does not look very promising. She is not a good
candidate for a transplant so it is just time. I guess I am crying for
myself because I do not want to let go. She is a great person and so
positive. My heart is breaking. With all my venting about work and
being tired I have a life that is less complicated than hers. She is so
tired of pain and hurting. I just had to talk to you who know what I am
feeling. It is my own mortality that is in question. I wonder why I am
still here when I almost lost it all three years ago. I do not want to
go through all the complications. I see my friends who are diabetic
laugh at eating a whole dozen donuts and just say they will take more
insulin. I have a hard time holding my tongue. I really do not want
anyone to go through the living h that I have already lived through.
Yes, my endo has said that my test were good and my sugar was coming down
but the stress level is affecting my life. Cordizone is produced out of
stress and it kills the insulins ability to do its job. Stress is hard
to contain…you can exersice it away or eat less…it is just the need
to be tranquail. Then I talk to my friend and hear her words of her
destiny and I realize that I have so much that the Lord has given me so I
should raise my voice to praise Him. Anyway…thanks for listening.
Work can be stressful but I am thankful for the chance to work with my
kids and help to make a little difference in their lives. Thanks for
keeping me in your prayers and please add another thought for Suzie that
she will have no more pain. I love you all…Becki

Becki, the good Lord has such plans for you. I will lift you and your
friend. I sometimes sit and think of all the bad things that could come from
this disease and it just motivates me to do the right thing. I know things
have been stressful for you but you have really blessed my life through your
post. Keep the faith. God’s will is in place and you are definately a tool
to reach others. Hugs Shelia :O)

Hi Becki,
I know what you mean. Up at seven today on a run, so much to do. Had to set
and wait till eight thirty for my sister, by then out of the mood.
I don’t know if I will get to talk with you again before I get back.
Being visually impaired is a challenge at home, when traveling it is double
so. My sister will be great help. Hubby just doesn’t remember or doesn’t
want to help. I think it is because I am so independent at home and that is
where he usually sees me, he doesn’t realize how challenged I am out.
Hope everyone has a good week. And any exciting news please keep and
forward to me when I get back. In nine days.
