I think have finally settled on the "magical" number. I am taking 76 units of insulin at this point. Most days, when I eat really healthy, my morning blood sugar is below 150. Now, if I totally screw up or fall off the wagon, I have a bit of difficulty getting my blood sugar down, but eventually, the situation gets better.
Tomorrow is a big day. I go back to see the doctor after 3 months of working on my health. I know I have not lost much weight, but that requires some work on my part. I need to exercise more.
I have been doing a lot of reading. I got caught up with reading the Fifty Shades trilogy. Next, I started reading the last two Charlaine Harris books, Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood. Now, I am going to work on Crossfire by James Patterson. I also downloaded two Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse collection of stories, then Herman Melville's Moby Dick. What I found was that I really got a kick of reading using Kindle. I found myself reading from the iPhone from time to time as a short break. When I got home, I would be able to sync the Kindle DX or Kindle for the PC or iPad to get to where I left off reading. That was pretty nice.
I did something I probably should not have done today. My father is not spending time at the house. He leaves the A/C off and the place gets unbearably hot. I could not bear to leave mom's ashes there in that heat. I brought her ashes along with BJ and Stormy's home with me.
I have cried off and on today over bringing them home. I find it comforting to have mom here. I know she is gone, but I felt that her presence has come along and it is comforting to me.
Tomorrow, I will clear off the top area of the entertainment area that the apartment built. I will put mom and the "boys" up there. I also brought home the photo albums. I love to look at those. During the last couple of months of mom's life, she would go through the photo albums over and over.
This week will be a busy one. I hope all goes well with the doctor's office.
