The Couch 115: Corduroy Pillows Are Making Headlines!

google google google it sounds like a blocked drain.

I misjudged the distance to the pool wall and my speed while starting a flip turn and slammed my left ring finger and forearm into the wall quite hard. Pretty sure that's blood under the nail.

And they say swimming is good for the body.

so i had choices today at the endocrinologist apt today stay there and allow them to attempt to get my sugar down or go to the hospital . oops didnt realize it was that bad . i had a choice because at least i had no keytones in my pee. for those of you that know something about it my A1C was 14.9 and my glucose was to high for there meater to read . it read up to 700 so my sugar was over that . PA was not happy . she made me sit there and dring bunches of water as they injected me with insulin 3 times before they got it to 400 . that god so no hospital for me today .i doged that one . but now i need to tale insulin 3 x a day before meals and also at night . im a regular pin cushion

"Too high for the meter to read" is very high indeed. If I ever got as high as that, they'd send me to hospital right away.

Luckily, diabetes is very treatable. I take pills and do injections and live a normal life.

I hate not having the texting thing. Now I want to drive past his rooms but its Friday so he's not there probably which results in my ususally driving round the town in a flap looking for him.

I really must talk to him about it because its wash, rinse repeat and you guys must just be so sick of my constant whining

Here are two links that might interest you.

http://coconutoil.com/diabetes/

http://www.diabetesaction.org/site/P...lementary_7_10

The first link is about coconut oil, which I believe is the cure for all that ails you.

The second link is about cinnamon essential
oil for diabetes.

I'm one of those essential oil people who believe "There is an oil for that!" Essential oils are amazing. I didn't know if you were open to it or not.

Just wanted to send these to you!

(((Granite))) I was wondering if your sugar was high. I'm a mess when mine is.

Are you kidding, as much as I whine here about my h, I say whine away! Sometimes it is good for the soul!!

Interesting side note: I have noticed that every single time I type the word "soul" I always put a d after it, realize it, and then delete it. So I type "sould". I have no idea why and I think I shall ponder on this. I have done pretty much zero "therapy workings" since my last session, the last time I wrote in my notebook was the day before that session, so I suppose it's about time.

And the first thing that pops into my head is that I do it because I fear I have "sold my soul" as in gave up my Self when I got married and continue to give it up by staying married. I don't know. Just first thoughts. Hopefully I am wrong...

(((Granite))) take care of yourself, that sugar stuff is crazy. My h is diabetic and he makes the mistake of eating too much carbs with no protein and then his sugars spike, then go way way too low and he feels like he's gonna pass out. He doesn't do that often, he's careful most of the time, but when he does he's absolutely miserable. I hope they get yours under control so you can start feeling better!

aw granite. this sort of feels like a form of self-harm, not taking care of yourself?

Granite - please check out the information about coconut oil. I know it may sound "out there" but I can't eat very much sugar without suffering from it and it has helped me!

I truly hope you feel better!!

My friend who was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago has some sort of meter that she wears that sounds an alert when her blood sugar gets too high or low, even in the middle of the night. It's saved her from a hospital trip a few times. Could something like that be a possibility for you?

Had an awful argument with DD today. I told her I'm done talking about this now. Time for you to go home. But she wouldn't stop talking about the issue and would not go home. I was so worked up. I've just had a stroke, for g-d's sake!

She wants to micromanage everything about my watching my grandson this summer. I'm over it already! He is autistic, but DD is who I have most of the problems.

I told her she has a choice to keep him home or send him here, but I will not tolerate her put-downs and controlling behavior in my house.

Situation is such a mess!

Oh I wish I woulda gone to the baseball game tonight. My yankee boy did good.

On a good note today I sorted out my D mobile problems. I don't know what made me leave Virgin mobile never had a problem but the deal was cheaper with the bundle from the other company. Back with Virgin, numbers ported no problem.

Tonight I can't sleep because my forearm is bruised and swollen from colliding with the pool wall and it's impossible to get into a comfortable position. And tonight I actually feel like I could sleep, boo.

Does the local library subscribe to one of the ebook libraries - Overdrive or 3M? They often have free classics, and there should be an app for your phone. I am using them a lot to get books here in furrin parts...although Overdrive thinks I can read Chinese

I just have to pick one. I got lazy today.

Project Gutenberg is where I go for all books in the public domain (see link I posted earlier today).
I hated the library app - it might have gotten better since the last time I tried it - but overdrive was awful when I tried it.

Swimming is a dangerous sport

I find it uncomfortable to read books off an electronic device. I miss the tactile experience of a book, paper cuts and all.

I might try to learn the front crawl this year. Or anything besides the 2 back strokes.

Hey I hit 5 years on PC in ten days. Par-Tay!

It's a lot easier to hold. I never thought I would like it but I do. And I love that it's instantaneous.
