Almost four weeks out

Apr 19, 2009

This coming Tuesday I will be four weeks out from surgery and as of today I am down about 37 lbs. 29 since surgery.  I went back to work at two weeks out because I had some deadlines that had to be met.  In retrospect, I really needed one more week off.  I have had no energy and it is inifinitely harder to plan medicine, vitamins, water and food intake this early out when your are working and in meetings for hours at a time.

As far as my diabetes is concerned I continue to take metformin and januvia but have discontinued the lantus and avandia.  My PCP has given me some humalog to take as need for any numbers over 140.  Generally I am about 140 to 160 in AM and under 140 at all other times during the day and evening.

My PCP does not want to reduce MY BP medication until my daily numbers are below 115/70.  That would be fine except that my BP tends to drop when I excercise.  I was out mowing the yard yeaterday and kneeled down to move some blocks.  When I stood up I felt light headed for a few moments.  I went in and checked my BP and it was 100/65.
