Going through the kitchen we found an old stash of old strips and needles from checking my blood and getting insulin. I forgot about it so finally I can dump it here at the hospital safely. My high sugar comes and goes as my health goes up and down. But so far so good, haven't needed to go back to checking or anything. As long as my liver continues to do well. It's never fun to go backwards.
My foot wardrobe changes as I wait for surgery. Today was a first, the nurse injected me with something to numb me before putting in an IV. That was weird, that's never happened before and I was shocked. He said that's what they're doing now and I should ask for it. I told him I wouldn't dare because I'd look like a complete wimp. It was the easiest IV stick ever, though. The doctor came to visit before going in. I was so excited to get this done and over with! It wasn't a great time to do it, we have way too much going on. I don't know when a good time would ever be. There will always be something completely inconvenient about it. Just have to deal with it. I want my annoying, itchy, growing scars to go away. Better now than any time I suppose. I won't be able to help with putting the house back together for another week or two. Besides not doing much in general for the next week. It's worth it still and I can't wait to see how it looks!
