Ok, so this isn't starting out as well as I had hoped. It has been over two weeks since my last post. However, I wasn't expecting to blow my knee out a week ago either. I have been on the couch with great pain drugs and trying not to have to pee. The trek to the bathroom was a long one!!!! Anyway, I saw the surgeon yesterday and unfortunately, I have a torn meniscus which is usually a surgical fix. However, my Dr. was honest and said it is going to be the last resort. Due to the fact that I am chemically "immunosuppressed", surgery will be a nightmare. Well, at least I have that going for me. :-)


I have finally realized something that I never knew before today. I am have lost control of my own body. I used to be in charge but not any more. It just does whatever the hell it feels like whenever the hell it feels like it. Well, no more. I am taking back control of the ship!!! I have no idea how but dammit, I am doing it! *LOL*

So...how many of you have heard of Diabetes? Let me see a show of hands...yes, there are many hands up. What a shitty diseaese. I was blessed to join the club of type 1 diabetics when I was 19 years old. I am now 47. I found out recently that the original longevity timeline given to my parents at that point in time was maybe 5-10 years. I also was discovered to have Hashimoto's disease. Another Autoimmune disease. Things were pretty bad at the time and we were living in Louisiana, which has some of the WORST medical care known to man. However, we had to treat the issues so had my thyroid removed and started on treatment for diabetes. I got married two years later and moved to Denver, which has some of the best medical care and healthcare professionals in the world. It was amazing to me how much better I was, once I got some proper care and education.

If you have any links that you want to share for Diabetes care or treatment, please do so! I am always interested in what others know that I don't!!!
