In the past 30 minutes I spoke to my physical therapist Gurjeet about my current situation and he suggested, since I think it has much to do with improper sitting too long at a computer, that it would be good to have my right hip x-rayed.  Then I sent my doctor a message reminding her of the physical therapy referral I am waiting on and a possible referral for a hip x-ray.  Then Joshie called to check on me.

I hope your leg gets to feeling better soon, Elmore. That bout of sciatica that I had last fall about did me in.

I was relieved my recent hip/sciatica problem did not debilitate me as it has in the past.

I would think sitting too long would also make your hip worse.  While my situation isn't nearly as bad I know I must move every 15 minutes even if it is just for a few steps before I sit down again.

I was right to be nervous about the lab work I had done yesterday.  I repeated the 3 month glucose test and there was no improvement at all.  It was exactly the same as last time.  I should have improved :(

DR Elmore, I'm so sorry you're in such pain...

I just spent 30 minutes in a tub of very warm water, got out feeling pretty good, and now I'm back to the throb when I stand.  I can barely walk and it's getting to me.


I am so sorry to hear this

Yesterday was a mixed bag in these parts.

My appt. with the oncologist was good....but I am still on six month visits....

My trip to the Ye Olde Car Shoppe was not as pleasant....new alternator and belt and four new tires.....$1050...

I told the man as I paid that bill that eating was overrated anyway, and that if I got hungry in October, I would just go outside and lick my new tires....

He yawned.


I am glad you had good news from the doctor, Jack.  I think it is usual to stick to6 month appointments for the first 5 years

Is the 3 month glucose the A1C?

Since A.O.C. (the Congresswoman) has been so in the news, I kept saying A.O.C. two weeks ao when I took the A1C test - but they knew what I meant.

Well, I'm off to the movies.  I'm going to see the documentary on the Broadway show, Come From Away.  I'm sure it'll be good!

Be back later.

I am giving a presentation tomorrow morning on how to write a cookbook. I don't know if I'm ready for this, but I guess I'll be ready for this.

Oh, no!  Now what, Jane?

I don't know.  Have you been able to improve your glucose more than you did at the beginning of your diagnosis?  I practically cut out wine, reduced my chocolate by more than half, switched from russet potatoes to sweet, rarely use my sweet salad dressing, am skipping white rice.  Oh, & barely eat candy that isn't my chocolate.  I shall have to try that chocolate you like.

I read corn chips are bad for your glucose & blue corn chips are ok.  I missed the little detail that said "in moderation".  I may have been eating too many of them, still with all the other changes I have made....

There was a point mid-April where my A1C had been as high as 7.6, which sounded (to me) like I must have just had High-sugar Hawaiian Punch and ice cream sodas running though my veins, but I hadn't fasted because I hadn't expected to be taking any blood tests.   I started with using Glucerna and all that diabetes stuff.  When they checked my blood the last week of August, I knew I was going to the doctor so i did the full eight-hour fast that I usually do, and this time it was 6.0, still not fabulous, but out of the super-danger range.

Everything and everyone says the A1C measures the prior three months, and not fasting shouldn't affect it, so if that's right - something had to be happening blood-wise in April, and then I did end up in the hospital for three days early June.

Unlike the A1C, the A.O.C. test, I think measures your tendency to prefer socialized medicine.

Just an observation.  the economical Glucerna mix-it-yourself powder tasted just vile to me, and felt like a ploy to get your rushing back to buying the more pricy bottles the liquid.  :)
