Fasting BG

[bigskygal]

122 this clear cold morning. 5° when I got up at 8:30AM.

39° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 33°/10°. It melted some yesterday but froze up hard overnight. I wanted to go out tomorrow but I don't know if I want to risk it. Maybe I can get my neighbor to take my garbage up to the road...

Don't know why my numbers are running a bit high, puzzling but I guess it is what it is.

Sending prayers and good thoughts to Kathy.

96 this morning.  The steroid I am taking starts out with 6 pills the first day and then one less each day so maybe the lower amount is helping my bg.

That's pretty good and within your normal range. 114 today morning.

81 this morning.  A lot better for fasting but still pretty high after dinner at 185 but maybe I am around the corner.  I still have significant pain from time to time but am sleeping a lot better.  I'll be interested to find out what will be the plan after I see my doctor on Friday.  I understand that PT is commonly the course.

127 this cold cloudy/foggy morning. Don't know where that came from... 0° when I got up just after 8:30 this morning. Don't know where the "supposed" warming trend went.

26° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 33°/4°. Long range forecast has temps in the 40's starting Wed. We are under an Air Stagnation Advisory, until Friday afternoon. Never heard of that before. It can cause a buildup of pollutants near the surface.

Originally I was going to go out today, but it is too cold and foggy at this point so I am going to wait and watch, and maybe not until tomorrow.

Glad to hear you are mostly feeling better Wally. Yeah, I vaguely remember I had PT when I had sciatica. The good news is I never had a recurrence of the sciatica.

LAst night I had an all vegetarian meal with some rice. 135 this morning. Proof if anyone doesn't know.

Should we get in touch with Kathy's family ?

87 this morning.  A little late to the party this morning.  This darn sciatica is trying to give me a hard time today.  I got my CT scan and a bunch of X-rays yesterday.  I hope that they will help find a solution.  I see my doctor Friday.
It may be a good thing to try and get some info from Kathy's family if you have the contact info.

116 this cloudy, hazy morning. I slept in a bit later than usual this morning. It is all of 15° right now.

22° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is either 37°/7° Weather Channel Ap or 37°/30° on Wunderground.com (that is where the warming trend is posted). I hope they are right but the nights have been very cold so probably the 7° is the right one.

Yes, if you can contact Kathy's family, I think it is a good idea. As much as what the answer may be scares me, I think we need to know how she is.

Trying a new grocery delivery service Hive.com (not Thrive). Fist box is out for delivery today. No frozen items but a good selection of pantry items. They added 8 free items to first order and if you order over $50 shipping is free. Some pretty good looking items. I ordered 3 different kinds of tea and mushroom jerky among other things. Anything that can cut down my time in the grocery store works for me. On my next list if I like these items is Cold Brew coffee, Cuban beans, Trinidad beans, Gin infused pickles, Extra Virgin Avocado oil, among other things.

Ordered a bunch of cat food from Amazon last night, they go through food so fast hoping that will keep me from having to go out so soon. Have to go. out tomorrow for more cat food and t pick up bills at PO.

I got my CT scan and a bunch of X-rays yesterday.

I also underwent a CT scan yesterday. We did a Cardiac CT and the reports are awaited.

112 today morning.

88 this morning.  It looks like the steroid is not having an effect any more, last pill yesterday.  They would like to do an MRI for better information but I have an artificial heart valve that was put in place trans catheter and it is in a metal cage like a stent.  I was told that I could not have an MRI because of that but I see that it is OK to do if it follows the guide lines from the manufacture.  I am going to check this out with the cardiologist that installed the valve. 
I had a couple of CT scans of my heart after the new valve.  It isn't bad but when they use contrast that is injected it is kind of uncomfortable.
Barbara, hope your new grocery delivery works out well.  I am lucky here in town that Walmart is only a mile down the road and I use their pickup service and just place an order on line and then go down and pick it up at the time I select.  It works pretty good and I don't have to go into the store.

124 this mostly cloudy morning.

31° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 44°/29° with a slight chance of rain.

Wally, sorry things aren't working as hoped. I hope you can figure out the MRI issues and hopefully get better resolutions.

skb hope you get the information you need from your CT scan.

I was well pleased with the Hive delivery yesterday. A couple items I chose were not that great, but within the 8 free items there were several items I liked and will reorder so it worked out. I am pulling together another order already.

[walkerwally1]

I wouldn't say that things aren't working out.  I haven't seen my doctor yet and the info from the CT scan may be enough to determine a course of treatment.  I do seem to be improving and PT may very well be the course of action.  It is just that an MRI may do a better job of showing where the problem is located.  I was always told that an MRI was out of the question with the heart valve but that may not be the case.  It may not be necessary for this diagnosis but I would like to know if it is an option.

134 today morning. Kathy has given us an email ID for her son. I am going to write to him today to enquire.

[bigskygal]

Fingers crossed we get good news that she is healing from her fall, That is my prayer.

[walkerwally1]

85 this morning.  Still kind of rough first thing in the morning but it seems to get better during the day.  I see my doctor tomorrow so I am interested to see what we do from here.
Yes, it has been quite a long time for Kathy to post so I hope you find out how she is.

105 this freezing fog morning.

48° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 38°/26° small chance of rain and snow in the morning. Right now under a freezing fog warning.

I saw we have a new member Grammabearson, I expect it is Kathy's son. Hopefully we will get some good news when he posts. That is still my prayer.

Ran my errands yesterday and by the time I got home my knee was hurting a lot. I still have bags of groceries on the office floor to unpack...slowly. I remembered I had some CBD cream that I used on my hands for the arthritis in the medicine cabinet, so I rubbed someof it on my knee and it actually made it feel better. Who knew??
