Thanks Bernard. ROFLMAO!!

A New Pain

Last night I noticed that my feet were feeling very strange. I have had neuropathy for several years and since I have quit smoking the burning pains have lessened their visits. But this is new.

It is more then the burning pain and the numbness. My feet hurt. Bad.

It is almost unbearable.

Eyes closed. Teeth grinding together. Holding my breath. Trying to choke back a moan of pain.

My fellow employees just walk on by. I think they are used to me being a mess and so I am ignored. Not a bad thing since I do not want to talk about it.

Dammit it hurts.

It feels like my foot is broken but I have never had a broken bone so I can only guess what that pain would feel like. It is not my toes it is my foot.

I cannot even think. I can hardly think of what I am typing.

I just squeezed a tear out with that last surge of pain.

I have an endo appointment tomorrow. Even though he sucks maybe he can get me a referral to a podiatrist stat.

I’ll let you know what he says tomorrow evening.

Dammit.

I am not a huge fan of magic BUT this is about the coolest trick I have seen in a while.

Let me know what you thought of this one.

I will have some more posts this week. I have been a busy bee.

Home A1C Test TEST

Tomorrow I am going to the lab to give them lots of blood. Yes friends it is Lab eve here and I am cranky because I want diet pepsi and a Life Savers Sugar Free Popsicle but I am fasting (should be called "slowing" since time moves much slower without diet pepsi in your system!).

I came across a home A1C test kit and I thought I would put it to the test. I am just about to start the process of collecting my sample for the test. There is 8 steps to the whole thing which at first almost made me throw in the towel but I am curious to see how close this test is to the one the lab will do. (I swear sometimes that they named that monkey after me. Or maybe vice versa?)

I will let you all know both results however awful. I am not feeling so good about my control lately. My BG has been a little elevated since...um....well you could say since 2007 began so this cannot be good for me. Maybe a little failure will kick my ass into gear.

We shall see.

Damn, those popsicles are so yummy.

This is another Feed the Five video as promised. I am so happy that many of you liked the first one I posted last week. This song is called “With Me” and is an original song that we wrote! Please let me know what you think and I promise this will be the last FTF song for a while.
