insurance----finally!!!

i got my insurance cards today. what a relief. the best part is i can still use the same doctor. it has vision, but i can't use the same doctor on that, so i will be checking out a new eye doctor. there are a few differences. like co-pay for scripts is $30.00 for name brand instead of $20.00, but i can handle that a lot more then no insurance at all. it tells me i can order my scripts on-line through their on-line pharmacy (medco) it's a few dollars cheaper and you get three months worth of medi… Continue

i swear

that when this bunch of poison ivy is gone i will never go near it again. ok, this is the fifth time i have said that this year. i never use to be allergic to poison ivy. as a kid i could roll through it and never get it. but two years ago i got it during a very emotional time, and every time i get into it now, i get it again. my son and i started clearing the field next to the garage this year. so i have gotten it three times just helping to clear the field. well, we stopped that for the summer… Continue

county fair

you can tell it's fair week. we have had rain all week except yesterday. never fails. maybe they should pick a different week. my daughter's husband got out of work early so we decided to go to the fair. ok, i can get a lot of walking exercise. number one rule--stay away from the curly fries. i did too. but i had two lemonades. i asked for less sugar, but that didn't happen. they were good though. i also had a snow cone. light on the cherry stuff. then i had a slice of pizza. hummmm was that goo… Continue

words to live by.....

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It 's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resi… Continue

The nurse who took the tests did however say the doctor would only call me if something is out of normal. But HA! I have a friend on this page who's type 1.5, recently diagnosed. And her doctor didn't call even though he had the tests and had seen she has antibodies against the beta cells :S So if my doctor doesn't call, I will!

Still no answers from the doctor :S Might have to call the clinic myself tomorrow then.

Hello!
Ahaha, thats good that you guys have a sense of humor with it :)
Alot of the nurses or people at the hospital know me from all of my previous hospital visits, or know my mom because shes been working at the hospital for atleast 15 years? (Shes a flight nurse and currently the manager for the Life Flight program in our region of Ohio)
And i usually enjoy going to the doctors or going with my mom to work, because they have known everyone since before i was born! :( Im sorry.
Thanks again, talk to you later!

Carly. :)

LOL at the snakes!
I have a little bit of that knowing too. It often happens that I get deja vu feelings which is exactly on the detail as I remember it from a dream or something. And sometimes if I've lost something, I can find it again by just relaxing, close my eyes and focus on that thing I want to find and then I'll just follow my feelings and usually I'll find the missing object. But sometimes my feelings can be bad news too... Once a few years ago, I had a nightmare, in that nightmare a friend died. And in the morning I found out an online friend had passed away that very same night :S

I've been known to run after cattle in the countryside during a thunderstorm which was right over the area where I was lol It was really out in the middle of nowhere too. I'm not afraid of thunderstorms really. I just don't like them because usually when they're right above you, it's needed to unplug everything in case lightning strucks, to not destroy all the expensive electric things- like computer and TV, or the power can go out while being in the middle of something if not unplugging it before. My computer can run on battery for quite some time if the power goes out. But I'm mentally instable without my internet LOL
I'm not a big fan of loud noices either, and I'd easily put thunder into that category when it's right above you :S
And there's also stories from my home village, in the apartment area where I grew up, about people who's gotten lightningbolts coming out from the wall and soar through their livingroom or something. That kinda freaks me out a bit :S It probably won't happen here though. I'm very close to the tallest construction in scandinavia (the Öresund bridge- which is also one of the tallest and longest suspension bridges in the world), I'd see it if I just lived a bit higher up. And the railroad is also very close. So if lightning was to hit anywhere near me, it would be in the bridge or powerlines over the railroad :P

hi jennie,
crazy i know, but i have been known to hear a thunderstorm way far off in the distance and go run a nice hot bath. when it gets close i get out. then i am toasty warm and i can really enjoy the storm going off around me. my family says i'm the strangest person they know. a friend of mine fights her dog for under the bed rights. she is totally scared of thunderstorms. she runs around her house unplugging everything she can and then hides under her bed. everyone's different, that's what makes us all interesting.
for the record, i won't go for a walk in a thunderstorm. i do have a few brain cells left.

I don't like to be alone when there's a thunderstorm, even though I live in the 3rd biggest city in Sweden now. Still bad weather here now. Pretty windy and raining heavily on and off. I'm so not going outside today if I can avoid it lol Might just have to go to a supermarket today, but then I can take the bus!

Ah, the joy of waiting :P The doctor will call me if there's some results being out of the normal, but other than that i'll have to call the clinic and ask for the results. Even though my fasting result today wich was 5.0mmol/l (90) was fully normal, it is the highest i've had as far as i know. Everytime they've tested it before or i've tested myself at home, it's been below 4.5mmol/ (81) so seems like it might be creeping up too. Don't know... I just hope they decide to take a glucose tollerance test on me too because it's after meals the action starts so to say lol

I could have used an angry mob of diabetics with me today LOL Just got back from the tests, they took 4 of those glass vials of blood! My fasting glucose, was as I knew it would be- Normal (though the highest I've had as far as I know). I knew a fasting test would be inconclusive because I feel quite fine in the mornings. But they took a bunch of other tests too, including HbA1c and GAD-antibodies. But I won't know those until next week.
