Which was It?

I want to start with wishing everyone a Happy New Year! :) I know that I will be starting off my new year with being more conscience of my health. Right now I am going through alot of deep emotional things, and have to keep reminding myself that I must take care of my physical self. This morning, I woke up, and being that I am at my daughter's house, my schedule is just a little off.

I had to remind myself that I had to take my meds, and that I have to eat. I never thought that I would think that EATING could such a chore. Just knowing my emotional state right now, I have to keep in mind that I have to keep strong, or at least maintain my diet, medicines, even with all the other things that have been just popping into my brain about the things that I have to do in the next couple days.

I know that when there is change in my daily 'routine', I can feel the change. I have come to realize that if I do not look out for my health and well being, there really is no one that can. Nobody knows your own body as well as you do, not even your doctor. I have to do some research on blood clotting; I understand that my brother was seen at the hospital for his clotting. Now, do we know if it was kidney failure, or was it clotting that was the cause of his death ?

PEACE!

Decision Made

I knew that when I started with this Blogg thing, I was not sure exactly what I would be really posting about. With all the things that I have been faced with lately, I have decided that I cannot just continue to write about my personal situations. I needed to get a 'base' of what I wanted to share. I have been researching health issues when I am not posting, so I figure, why not share what I am learning when I am not here posting. I know that when I first found out that I was a Diabetic, I tried to read so much about it, that I thought there really ought to be a very simple cure to this disease.

I had no idea of all the various conditions that can happen to someone, when your blood sugar is not under control. With reading the updates and more research on health issues, it seems that there are more things that have become a factor with this controllable disease. I realize that you are supposed to attend a class, when you first find out, that you have Diabetes; Now ask me if I made it to that class? I wanted to learn on my own. I am not saying not to attend the class that your doctor reccomends for you, I am just saying that not many of us will attend that class, whether it is due to work schedule, or just scheduling to fit your everyday life, availability of the class offered... Yada yada yada... I know!

So, with that said, I am going to do my share in spreading the Awareness of the health issues that are involved.

PEACE!
