The and possum we just got home from my husband's first visit with the oncologist. All the news was good. No high risk factors for needing chemo at stage 2. Just bloodwork every 3 months, yearly colonoscopy and yearly CT scan I think we can both live with that and I know I'll sleep better.

[Gus1234U]

i'm so glad you were able to go with him, DJ~

[possum220]

Sounds like the best possible outcome Deejay. Sleep well.
Trying to post a picture of the golden leucodendron that is growing in my front yard but it wont work.

since it's been so hot in the day-time, i do my cooking at night. last night i made one of my favorite soups, but i had already had my allotted calories for the day, so i'm going to have it for breakfast ~! (maybe)

it's called Abondigas sopa, which is spanish for Meatball Soup~!
what i love best about it is that it is mostly low-cal vegetables and some seasoned hamburger. i use large chunks of taters, celery, onion, carrots, bell pepper, and whatever else i happen to have... this one got some zucchini and some mushrooms. the most important part to making it taste like Abondigas, is the Bell Pepper and a spice called Cumin. i like to put a in a little garlic powder and cayenne pepper, too...

it's a good, hearty, low cal meal that's easy to make...
hope soup is to your liking~

No way I was missing that. I may have needed to go just as much as my husband.

Had my quarterly BAC1 test today along with iron and blood count. See what happens. Feeling Tired.

[Gus1234U]

i feel tired all the time, possum, so you have my sympathies~

[Deejay14]

Just be just a tired day. The heat and humidity really wear me down.

[possum220]

Still winter here. I need to clean but would rather crawl back into bed. Landlords are coming to inspect the premises soon. I did a small clean of an area yesterday and my hernia was not happy. Time to put on some music and do it.

[Gus1234U]

life is just too hard, lately; too often, too~

*pokes her head in*

I want to offer my support even though I don't have this

I know people that do and posting heere in this thread will give me information about the condition.

A week of diet and exercise, havent picked up the metformin up, and my fasting blood sugar has dropped from 170 to 153. And i think i dropped a couple of lbs.

My secret is - i watch Coronation Street while i exercise! I am a year behind, and i missed 5 years in between, dont know how i would pick those up, but this might carry me thru.

Hiya everyone,

Popping my head in if that's okay. So technically I'm not diabetic but I am insulin resistant and my doctor has me on Actos. My sugar hasn't been as good as usual lately. More later, just wanted to say hey.

Welcome 88! Poke your head in any time.

[Gus1234U]

mmmm soup and salads... so good and so good for ya~!
i have really been enjoying my S&S, and my BSL tests in the morning and after my nap have been really good~! i'll stick to this as long as i can (and i even baked a pitiful pizza and had a piece a day til it was gone~ ).

[Deejay14]

I exercised yesterday!!! The best and humidity have really put a damper on it. But I had to bite the bullet yesterday because I had too much pain I also just started a new job. Only 10 hours a week but I kind of have to find a new schedule for my day to get everything done.

[Gus1234U]

congrats~! and Well Done~! do let us know how the new job is treating you~

[unaluna]

Ugh, i think the metformin makes me dizzy, as well as constipated. I am not having a good time! And everything tastes bland. I dont usually even use salt, so thats weird to me.

Im not happy. I was kind of on a roll, losing weight, feeling good, exercising, wah, wah, wah. I guess it takes a couple of weeks or so to get used to this metformin.

[Deejay14]

Gus, I am so happy to see a post by you. I was getting worried. I am going to bed very soon. Work at 6:30 tomorrow morning.Keep posting so I don't worry.

[possum220]

Congrats on the job Deejay. Sounds like this job will also be helping you get more movement in. Hope you are not too stresses about this new job.

Hope that the changes with metformin eventually settle down unaluna.

[Gus1234U]
