tuesday/monday

So Johnny got his lab results back in on Friday and we went to his appointment. Even though he suspected it, it was almost a relief to confirm that he is indeed a diabetic. This was not good news but we both felt like knowing that is all that came out of it, at least we can move forward and do what we have to so that we can get his sugar under control. We have his abdominal scan tomorrow and I ask for everyones prays that it come back clear and everything is fine, last hurdle and then we work on the tune-up! I know that it is hard for him to accept but I know we can get on track, it is not a bad thing because it could have been much worse, he will be able to start taking medication after we get the scan done tomorrow. I have really made an effort to be more conscious about the choices I make when I am shopping, I’ll be the first to tell you eating healthy is more expensive and it is more work. I didn’t do well this morning already, I wanted to get up and pack him a good lunch but I was worn out from all the work we did around the house this weekend and I overslept… Bad bad wifey… I know people may think I spoil my boys but I have to take care of them and Johnny will just grab whatever or not eat at all and I am determined to get this family back on track for all of our sakes. It was pretty funny when I served Noah his plate yesterday, he looked at the squash and black beans like “ what the?”, he just never had them together, he does love some veggies, just hadn’t had them served that way, I was very proud of him because he ate two bites of each… I guess we are going to be eating a LOT of broccoli. I love cooking, I just hate cleaningL… but I am always ready to try new recipes so I guess this is a good time to experiment huh? I made a pound cake, because you know baking is my thing, and it was pretty good and actually had very little sugar. Johnny is going to be a trooper, I know things will get better and hopefully he will get to feeling better. Now between his appointments, Momo’s and my Mom’s I should have my nursing degree! Keeping up with their stuff is a full time job! Today I have to go and drop off Momo’s prescription, Johnny’s prescriptions and pick up my Mom’s prescriptions, I had to call and follow-up on the cardio referral to Momo’s regular dr., which of course they are still waiting on, call the Endrocronologist and ask them to fax it to them, and then I will have to call back to make sure they got it so we can get her workup going… Hello?! This is kind of important!!! I have to reschedule Momo’s eye appt. because Johnny has his scan that day and I need to get Mom an appt. to check up with her Neuro Dr. because we think her shunt has shifted (wow, I got chills thinking about that). I have to MAKE SURE my husband remembers to go pick up the bottles he has to drink before tomorrow, I just know that boy is going to forget but I have to go take Momo to cash her check and pay her city bill before I head to the church to help with the youth trip dinner/meeting… then I will go home to do my work for the bible study tomorrow, do Johnny’s mileage and time sheets to fax in… what am I doing… gotta go!
