My journey to better health

Yes it is! I do believe I've made up for all those decades when the docs didn't make any money off me. LOL

My numbers are up a bit and I can't sleep worth a crap these days. Too much to do and not enough hours in the day or enough of me to do it all. Lord Help me get through the next few months........

Numbers a bit better despite the healing tailbone. I am sooo tired and sore from working on the house, as well as the lack of sleep due to time change and a gallon of paint falling on my shinbone. I have a feeling I'm going to lose some weight from being too busy to eat, or gain weight from eating junk stuff to shut my stomach up since I'm too tired to cook.

I ate fast food for the first time in forever this past weekend. It wasn't as good as I remember it being. But then I ate some chips from the rest stop vending machine when it took me forever to drive home on Monday. Those were just as good as I remember.

Gained 5# since Christmas. I told Brian it was his fault because of the pizza, potatoes, ribs, popcorn, etc. I hope I lose it soon from being too busy or too tired to even eat. Thin pizza crust is as good as I remember and so are French fries! LordHelpMe resist...........

My numbers will be going up since I'm on prednisone for pain while all this is going on. They always do when I'm on prednisone, and it sends my glaucoma numbers up too...so extra drops to try to counteract that side effect.

I want to divorce my back, hips, knees, and especially my hands and the soles of my feet! But the house is starting to look really good on the inside now.

You won't have a problem losing the weight. I'd blame the prednisone more than the food. You've been working so hard, you are probably burning every calorie.

I have bruises, cuts, scrapes, and sore muscles to prove it.

Steroids bloat me up like a balloon and make me feel awful too. Hopefully, you can stop taking them so much when you're done with the remodel.

I sure hope so. I only get about 4 hours of sleep and am not eating as well as I should these days. Hoping things get back to normal shortly after I move but with the trim going up slowly that may be a while yet.

With this heat wave I'm getting maybe 6 hours a night now (thank heavens for ceiling fans on high!). But my numbers are still running a tad high from the stress of heat, lack of sleep, and not quite eating right at the moment.

I have several fingers and other joints giving me more trouble with the arthritis. Doc tweaked my meds today. My BP was so low the nurse commented on it: 84/60 w/66 pulse. So? I was relaxed for a change.

:O That is LOW pressure. If mine gets that way, I feel dizzy and gross.

Today is the 1st year anniversary of my AVM brain surgery. Going out with mom and Brian to celebrate another year of life for me. Of course, it's gloomy and raining today but who cares? I AM ALIVE!

Brian didn't go with us.........he was still in bed after being up all night reading....again. I swear he's a closet vampire...the sun comes up and he heads for bed.
It rained off/oon all day long and mom walked my feet off shopping at 5 different places. Finally got to eat around 3:30 after having the lightest breakfast on earth except for not having any at all. I was STARVING when we got there.

I prefer eating later meals. I don't like eating in the early morning. But, it's definitely not for everyone, and it certainly doesn't fit into the work day.

Any idea what Brian was reading to keep him up so late? Sounds like something good.

Old antique books from the 1700's. We are no longer a couple, not even friends anymore. Last month has been hard on me. I don't know if sadness affects BGL or not, wouldn't be surprised if it did.
My elbow is killing me, my right heel is still painful (I think I'm getting a bone spur). Seems I'm falling apart this year.....
