Thankful --- So Thankful for Improvement
Nov 26, 2009
Today I am fixing Thanksgiving dinner. Oh the house smells wonderful. The homemade dinner rolls are out of the oven and the turkey is ready to go in. The pies and trimmings were made yesterday and they are waiting in the fridge for the right time to come out again. People are coming to share the meal, folks who don't have families and means to prepare a meal. It makes it especially joyful under the circumstances.The new meds have made such a HUGE difference in my overall feeling of health and wellness. I am taking Carafate for the reflux and now sleep through the night without waking up with the acid in my throat. I'm also using Byetta twice a day an hour before meals. It is an injectible that regulates insulin. It seems to be making a big difference, but we're early out on this one. I do notice my appetite is less and that's good, the nausea that sometimes comes with it is non-exsistant. YAY....whatever is happening its just good, good, good.
Energy level is through the roof, weight is coming off again. I haven't weighed, but know my body and know the signs of loss. I'm trying to put off making the scale my master again. Once a week is fine. Hope I can do that. I'm tracking calories and protiens and getting in the fluids. Wow...I was waiting for this day and it finally came. How appropriate on Thanksgiving. My heart is truly thankful.
What ahead??? I don't know. Only the Temple Builder knows. But its gonna be good whatever it is. Happy Thanksgiving my dear friends. Enjoy your blessings and your day. Have some turkey, albeit pureed in some cases, but enjoy the bounty of this harvest of blessings.
