That being said – all the doctors seem happy! The dentist, I’m
sure was delighted I broke a tooth last week and he was down right giddy when I
paid for my new crown. I’m sure the eye doctor was pleased that my prescription
eye glasses were stolen an I had to order a new pair. Next week I see the
nutritionist and she’ll be happy my diet is improving. Later next week, I have
to go in for a breathing test – long story, and since I can breath just fine, I
think that doctor will be impressed. The next week I go for a bone density test
and Nick assures me I should pass a ‘denseness’ test with flying colors. Then back
to the dentist for the permanent crown.
But the happiest doctor, I’m happy to report is the one
working with me on my diabetes. I got some test results back last week and the
doctor had written at the bottom, and I quote,
“HAPPY DANCE! HAPPY
DANCE! GREAT work! You did wonderful. I am impressed. Keep up the hard work.”
I don’t know what all the numbers mean, but the ‘diabetes’
number had been 8.2 back in December and now it’s 6.5 – the goal she had set
for me. Makes me happy, but I know a lot about myself. I tend to ‘do’ something
– like losing weight and think to myself. Well, I’m glad that’s done and stop trying as hard. I know I can’t do that with
diabetes and I would love to have someone to stay on my case about eating right
and exercising. Nick… are you listening? I hope he is, but I know it’s my responsibility.
I have hopes of reporting more on spanking soon.
Hi Pk,goodness, so many doctors! I'm sorry about the tooth and glasses. Dentist charge like wounded bulls, ouch!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the test results, good on you :) That is awesome news. Keep up the good work :)

It just seems like all the doctors came at once. Maybe I won't have any more for a while. I'm happy about the sugar results too.
DeleteHi PK, oh I am so pleased for you in the diabetes. Having got a type 1 son I know how hard it is to keep it up all the time. Keep going, think of that healthy retirement coming up. As to the rest, it has been a bit like that here too, I have seen more Doctors than a few lately and hubby has had the Dentist visits! We are lucky over here though as we have the National Health Service. Hope you keep on getting better
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
A healthy retirement is my dream! I'm about tired of doctors and I bet you are too, but I suppose they are a permanent part of our future.
DeleteMy round of doc visits starts soon....HURRAH for you on your diabetes results...it is not easy, but you are off to a great start...bet Nick is both relieved and proud of you.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
I hope your round gives great results. I guess the next 3 month is the scariest for me. I'm so bad to do something and then let it go.
DeleteCongrats on the A1C. Hope You stick with it.
ReplyDeleteI hope I do too.
DeleteWonderful news, PK! What a wonderful message from your doctor. I knew you could do it.
ReplyDeleteAsk Nick for his help. Sam is my favorite diet coach.
Hugs From Ella
He really helped me the first time. I hope he'll help again.
DeletePK, that's fabulous news on your diabetes results. I'm doing the happy dance for you. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

It's better than I was expecting.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteGood news all the way around.
Meredith
I'm sure happy with it.
Deletewell done on the diabetes. My husband could take some lessons from you, it's a bit of a struggle at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe shock of first being diagnosed caused me to really change. I pray I can keep it up now.
Deletesorry about the cracked tooth...just had that done recently myself...and then turned out I had to have a root canal too...fun fun! so glad you are doing such a good job taking care of your diabetes - I hope your hubby helps you stay motivated ;-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I have to have a root canal on another tooth soon. Hope I can still afford to retire!
DeleteThat is just so great that your diabetes is starting to get under control. Not just by a change of diet but also plain and simple hard work. It will all be worth it in the end
ReplyDeleteI know you're right. It takes concentration, but I think I can do it
DeleteGlad to hear your health etc is improving, once you get into the zone and you see results it becomes easier to stick to your plan and lose weight. Sorry about the tooth, I too had one break a couple of weeks ago and am now going to get a visit from BIG BILL as I think I am going to have to have two crowns plus a bridge with a false tooth - ouch. What can we do when we get older and things start to disintegrate !!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Cassie, I need a Cassie fix !! any more books coming out in the near future?
Ouch! That a lot of dentistry and yes it does hurt in the pocket book more than anywhere else.
DeleteThere will be more Cassie, but it's going to be a while I'm afraid. I'm working on another book right now - not Cassie and after that one I'll be back to the gang at the river.
Great numbers! Bet you feel better!
ReplyDeleteI do, and I'd like to stay that way.
DeleteCongrats on all the hard work to get your good numbers, PK!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Thanks Cat, I did like the numbers.
DeleteHey lady! I'm glad you are doing well. Going to doctors is no fun! I've had my fair share and unfortunately I may need some surgery soon. Luckily, it's a fairly common and easy surgery and so it shouldn't be a problem but I am really having a hard time calling the doctor. I know I have to suck it up and do it, but it's just hard.
ReplyDeleteLove you! grace
I'm happy to say all my visits have been good so far. A breathing test today was right where it should be. I hope you won't be having to have surgery, but go ahead and find out. And let me know.
