Physical from Hell
Did NOT have a great time at the doctor’s today. The physical itself went pretty good. Mark on back is not some bizarre melanoma. Blood work was fine except one thing.
A1C was 8.7
Which means that
A. I am out of insulin due to pancreas done.
B. Have not been taking meds (not true)
C. Been eating crap (true)
So I get 90 days to try a new med. If that doesn’t work (plus not eating like crap), it’s insulin for me. Maybe a pump, or some cool pen type injector once a day, I don’t know. But I really hope I get to keep away from a needle just a bit longer. She said 10 years is about average for oral meds, and I’ve been on for a little over 11. So it might be time. I just don’t want to take that next step. It’s almost like a challenge.
So if you see me scarfing down wings, pepperoni pizza, any kind of dessert, just punch me in the side of the head.
Real hard.
