real quick..
...haven't seen any new docs...or old ones for that matter. The chir0 is out of town so I see him Monday afternoon. I guess he'll do the ear thing on me then, Claire. LOL.
I'm doing better re: low blood sugars. But I'm having unexplained highs in the morning. Without eating anything at all!! It's weird!! One moring it was 125 when I woke up. Perfectly acceptable! Great, even! Then, about two hours later, without eating one morsel of food, it was 263! What the heck?!?!
So, I adjusted the basal from 8am til 10am up .10 unit. We'll see what that does. *shrugs* Why did all this stuff have to be going on NOW???
Gah.
Um, okay...I called Dr, K and asked about getting something different to help with "breakthrough pain". (ha!) The FI0rIc#t wasn't working at all, so he put me on @xer+. I'd never heard of it before, but it's working. It's not even a narc! Ha! Thank God something will help me get through this next weekend! Hallelujah!
In other news, Tucker's going to just have a fit when things start getting chaotic here. I called the vet to see about getting some kind of sedative for him. The lady questioned me quite a lot about why I wanted to sedate him. I explained he was very hyper, get very nervous and upset when any of the family was gone and with us all running in and out of the house, he'd be really freaked out.
She suggested that I put him in a crate and put him in a back room. Wouldn't he be fine then?
I wanted to say Lady, you obviously are not understanding what I'm saying to you....
If we put Tucker in a crate now? He'd spazz out and probably go into anapoodlactic shock! He hasn't been in a crate since he was about 9 weeks old!
So, I informed her that putting him in a crate would be worse than not doing anything for him at all. She said she'd talk to the doctor and call me back. She called back to tell me Children's BennyDrill would work, two possible dosages and that I needed to try beforehand to see how he'd react.
I gave him the smaller dose today. He might be just a tiny bit more llackadaisical today, but he still jumps up to bark and carry on at the slightest noise. *sigh* Everyone's gone today 'cept me, so he's kinda weirded out again. I guess we'll try the larger dose tomorrow.
Today, I am trying to get some wedding things done. I have to make this scroll-looking banner that will sit across a stand holding three pillar candles. It will 'say' In loving memory. The candles will each have an embossed...sheesh....don't know how to describe it...they were cards made so that you could personalize them with either a rubber stamp thing or a calligraphy initial inside this oval shaped embossed area. Anyhow, mom cut out the embossed oval and I'm supposed to write the names of my (and Sis's) papaw, mamaw and the groom's father. AND I CAN'T FIND MY CALLIGRAPHY STUFF!!!!!! GARRRR!
I also have to cut out about 40 small "ribbons" I printed. They have the names of the happy couple with the date. I'm going to cut them dove-tailed on one end and arrowhead on the other, punch a small hole in the pointed end for a silk ribbon, curve the paper then we'll tie them to little bells as favors. *sheesh*
And to top it all off? Yesterday Mom suggested that I write something for Dad to say!! A toast of sorts. She got the idea after the funny, talkative best man told her HE was going to make a toast. (that'll be a hoot, I'm sure) So now I have to come up with stuff for Daddy to say! He never said anything at my wedding, but then, I didn't write it out for it, did I?!?! Gah!
Corey's gone to get a certain hooligan chile belonging to Linda so's they can go to their pal's b-day party in another town. Case and Tommy have been gone since early morning to do their annual elk banquet to raise bou cous (is that how you spell it? it won't come up in my handy-dandy spell checker!) of moolah for elkses ever'whur. Gah. They'll be gone til late tonight. Gah, and double gah!
Okay...so I need to git.
Have a good weekend, ya'll! Dunno when I'll post again...or get to visit. *sob* But don't forget me. If I die, I'll have my son post an obit for ya, okay? Just so's you'll know for sure. ;)

It's your livers fault.
:)
No really, D often has highs in the morning, too, after eating nothing since supper the night before, no bedtime snack even. Your (well, everyones, lol) liver puts out glucose in the morning so you'll have energy to move, work, etc.
So, actually, your liver is doing it's job. It just forget to check with the rest of your body to see if the glucose was actually needed. So at least it's doing it's job, even though it forgot to check in with the rest of you. lol

Man, G, you need to make sure your liver gets the memos you send out! What's the deal? ;D
I will be very interested in hearing about the chiro appt and all he does. I'm telling you my NUCCA doc is wonderful. He is a neurological chiropractor. And, sense migraines are dealing with the neurological nerves in the brain (hence, that is why the psych meds work for migrains) which is in the family of neurology...I mean..hey. So tell me all. :)

Well, duh. Of course I knew that...I'd just forgotten it. Sheesh. Maybe my brain just forgets to send the memos????
Yeah, that's probably it! Thing is, before, the way my basal was set was making my morning b/s too low, so that's why the endo lowered it. And besides that, the highs aren't necessarily first thing in the morning, they can come as late as 10am and it's not consistantly high, either. Some mornings I will have a fasting bg of anywhere from 75 to 159.
*shrugs*
What the poo?
I don't have a clue.
And for now,
that's all the rhyming,
I'm going to do!
