Unspecified Specifics

I have been avoiding something for the last 4-ish months.  Let me go back before that.  In October of 2007, I received a diagnosis of Papillary Thyroid Cancer with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.  Because of the nasty “c” word, they removed my thyroid completely.  A couple of years later, I had a hysterectomy.  Since then I have been struggling with weight and pre-diabetes.  Back to that 4 months thing:  my feet have been tingling and have started hurting.  So I know that things have progressed even though I have been fighting to keep the pre-diabetes at just pre.  Another issue is that I cannot take metformin.  I just can’t.  I don’t have that much time to spend in the bathroom.  My body doesn’t acclimatize to it.  I’ve tried.  Multiple times.  So I contacted the dr about what to do about the feet and if there are other medications that aren’t metformin.  Let’s see if she gets back to me.

I also got compression socks, diabetic shoes and a glucose meter.  I am trying to do the things that are scaring the ever-loving hell out of me.  One step at a time right?

Better news.. I got a new book to help me do astrological charts.  I am currently working on my grandson’s now.  It is the thing that is keeping me sane-adjacent.
