Well Surgery Didn't Happen Today.

Well I am back home. The surgeon didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugar was high. I know he is being cautious and a good doctor but I sure am disappointed. It is rescheduled for Dec.5 and I am supposed to somehow get my blood sugars down. So another round of reg diet then two weeks pre op diet and a lot more insulin. Trying to tell myself things happen for a reason and God is in control. At least I got a valium out of the deal and and IV in and out . And a mega dose of tylenol IV. even had my legs pumped for a while. We will just call this a practice run

Things do happen for a reason whether we understand those reasons or not, it will come to us later. Take the time to research further, get to understand what you'll be going through later etc. that will help the time pass for sure. It will be here before you know it!

Seriously tho, this will give you an opportunity to have a nice thanksgiving with your family. I must admit I chose spring for my surgery specifically to avoid the holidays.

I dare not shave today for sure, I even got that massive dose of heparin I would make the shower look like a crime scene. LOL

I know the first thing my sister said was "I am so sorry, but now what are you bringing to Thanksgiving" too funny. I am doing ok today.

Losin it

Thank you I am not going to derail all the work I have done. Going to continue to eat healthy and keep the pounds off I lost and somehow get these sugars down. More insulin, of course that will mean more inflamation and pain, and then weight gain. It is a vicious circle. But I truly respect my Doctor and Know that he is looking out for me.

I so sorry, but it is for the best...It will happen!
