Good Monday Morning all.................. lovely day here, sunny, spose to get into the 80s 3-4 days this week. We have false spring and shrubs/trees budding, grass is green and it is really weird.......... Bet February will be a b*tch.......LOL!
have a few medical things going on, but at 83 guess that is to be expected. The surgery I had to have on my pointer finger on left hand ( I am left-handed) froze the last joint on that finger with a screw through the two end bones, and has really affected by life.... picking up small things...opening jars, tupperware, gripping/lifting, etc. Not gonna complain to much... could have been worse.
For diabetics, I understand doctor wanting patient to be on a bit of a schedule, it controls quick changes up and down of sugars and affects A1C..... I try and eat all 3 meals about same same (withing hour) daily, go to bed about same time and arise the same or earlier if early appts. I am type2 diabetes and trying to stay off meds, etc... so I try and do what I am asked to do. It is a PITA, but keeps me off another med, out of the hospital and able to function OK living alone.
My daughter who is a doctor has actually "fired" patients for either "hunting pain meds" or refusing to follow directions or her advice -- after all, she has the knowledge of "why" and they came to her fore "help" - so why not just try and comply?
JMO..................... worth about 2 cents or less.OK, time to put on the walking shoes and get in my daily stroll...........getting harder and harder, but keep on chugging.!
Have a good week everyone.................stay well, be happy and hope your weather is bearable.
