Fasting BG 2017

99 (5.48) this morning.  We got just over an inch of rain yesterday so it was significant.  We also had very high winds and today the winds continue.  Another front is supposed to come through later today so it's possible for more rain later today. At 6:00 AM it's 52° (11.1°C) so no snow expected. 
Friday is supposed to be the next big storm so we will see how that turns out.
@Tamagno, I don't see anything wrong with burning wood either but the AQMD for many areas feels different.  Some areas don't allow wood stoves period, thus the pellet stoves, and in other areas they have days where wood burning is OK only on days where the pollution level is low.  On other days it illegal to burn wood.   
@Shanny, it's not the catalytic converter that is the problem but the need for electricity to operate the auger that delivers the pellets to the burning chamber.  If people with these stoves lose power the stove becomes useless.  A far cry from what we who burn real wood are used to.

139 (7.7) this morning - time for another basal adjustment.

We are complete dependent on electricity as our home heats with electricity.  If our power goes out, we have to hope it comes back on soon or we build a fire in our wood burning fireplace.

120 today morning.

My dog had a biopsy along with the spaying and the results came out as malignant cancer on the mammary gland tumor. Doctor has suggested a surgery to ensure it does not spread. I really really need a break. To think I just lost one dog two months back and firmly believed that lightning does not strike the same place twice. Atleast not so soon.

I'm sorry you received 'not so good' news about your dog.  Hopefully the surgery will prevent it from spreading.  Stay strong.

Poulomi that is tough luck indeed. I too hope that the surgery is successful in stopping the tumour.

130 this morning, helped by an extra 2 pieces of chocolate last night.

86 (4.76) this cloudy morning, 103 (5.71) at bedtime last night.  Not sure where that came from, but it is what it is.

Cold today only got to 32°F so the melting has stopped for now.

@ccd, very sorry to hear this. Wish you the best luck with the treatment of your pet.

Another 89 for me, helped by my gym visits, no doubt

167 this morning.

Paulomi, that's indeed lousy news; hopefully, your pup is treated successfully!

Well, I just woke from a strange dream in which the prep school at which I taught caught fire including even flames coming up from the ground. In keeping with my recent theme, everyplace was littered with great piles of firewood. My insulin pump got lost in the confraglation...

No mystery with the loss of my pump! I'm in one of those times when I'm sick to death of illness and if I lived alone would disconnect everything; the insulin pump, the CGM, the vile feeding tube, the IVIG, the meds and all of it.

At least I've extracted a promise from my wife to travel once more down home to West Virginia this summer if I've recovered sufficiently from my impending surgery. My Aunt Franny there is now suffering from stage four lymphoma and we've made a pact to get better and get together.

The mountains there barely qualify as foothills in the Himalayas, SKB, but they're home to me and very beautiful in the summer.

69 this morning.

It continues to be cloudy and cold here, I wish spring would arrive quicker.  I'm seeing the diabetes educator today for a post Christmas checkup, not looking forward to the "lecture".

87 (4.82) this morning.  Overnight low temp. is sitting at 53° (11.7°C) and the rain is out of here for now.  There is very little snow left here and things are drying out.   
There is supposed to be another storm coming Friday with significant rain and then maybe a break for a few days. 
Off in a bit for an appointment with my primary doctor.  The broken hip kind of interfered with other things but I still need to keep an eye on my electrolytes and that is what this visit is for. 
@Tamagno, I can certainly understand how you feel.  It gets overwhelming sometimes dealing with all of the things you have to when illness causes all of these problems.  The urge to throw everything out the window is huge.  I really hope you are able to make the trip this summer.

Snap Wally!! 87 (4.82) this snowy morning, 87 at bedtime last night too.

It has been lightly snowing all day long.    3-4 new inches of snow.  It is supposed to turn to rain over night.  I'm hoping that is true.

Paulomi I am so sorry to hear of your sweet dog's problem.  Hoping for the best outcome.

Slight improvement at 125.
John, Have a good trip and be well.
Weather here is nothing much to talk about. For a day or two it was 14^oC. Now it's a bit warmer, maybe 17^o

@ Tamagno, It was only a dream, so cheer up and have a great trip 

Another good number for me, 90 this morning.

114 today morning. Have been 'reasonably' good in the past 3 days.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes. The surgery date for my pet (see such a cute pic attached) is on 20th Feb. My daughter turns 2 on 24th and my mother in law turns 60 next month. So we have lot of plans in the next 40 days. I just hate putting her through a surgery again in just a month but delaying it is not an option. We do not know if it is a fast spreading cancer or slow one. So no point taking a chance. I hope she forgives me for putting her through this. I did think of not getting it done and just giving her a quality of life. But she is only 6-7 years and every doctor I talked to, said the prognosis for mammary cancer is very good overall and you may be taking away a good chance that she has.

Fingers crossed for a long, happy and a healthy life.

Tamagno- I cannot even start to understand what you are going through. But try and be as positive as you can. Sending you a lot of good vibes.
