Come on in for a cup of something. I haven’t managed to get up for coffee yet. I’m moving slow today. It’s a bit brisk outside and inside so I’m under blankets, but come on it and I’ll grab a blanket for you and we can chat.
When I last wrote this week, I was having a lot of trouble with the medication I was given for diabetes. It wasn’t working and I was falling apart. I ended up getting an appointment for Wednesday. Apparently, my body has stopped making its own insulin so they put me on insulin. The doctor explained that the metformin I was taking doesn’t make the body produce any insulin, it just helps the body utilize the insulin being produced. With no insulin at all, the medication wasn’t doing anything. So now I am insulin dependent. They started with the lowest does and will increase it gradually. I go again on the 19th.
This past week was a little busier than in the past few weeks, mostly because of Spencer’s 4th birthday on Monday and the doctor appointments I had. Yesterday was also the memorial for my friend Peggie. I’m glad I went. I met all her family…most of which are former in-laws and a few former co-workers. It was a wonderful testament to who she was. I will add that she was the type of person that made friends with everyone immediately. The service yesterday was attended not only by family, but also by her gardener and her mailman! I’m so lucky to have known her.
I am currently reading (not very often) My Own Words by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I haven’t read more than about five chapters but I like it. Have you read anything you’d recommend? I’ve also gone through the entire six seasons of Parenthood in the past week. You? What are you watching?
Well, I am cutting it short. I have very little energy. I’m hoping that will change when they find the right dose of insulin for me.

Good luck with the insulin. My son has been Diabetic since he was five years old. It’s not fun.

Glad the doctors found what was wrong. Medicine can help and it can also hurt.

I hope they can get your dosage regulated soon. My husband has been insulin dependent since his teens and finding that right insulin balance can be difficult sometimes. I’m glad you got to attend the memorial. Peggie sounds like a wonderful person. Have a great week!
