April - June 7 2023

APRIL 2023 I was diagnosed type 2 Diabetic Saturday 7 March 2023. I have been on different pills since Tueday 10 March 2023 but never on the needle^! `` I have had various MDs and three different Nurse Practitioners. I test my blood sugar upon getting out of bed and 2 hours after "forks down" after my evening meals. My heart surgeon is concerned about my blood pressure. I use the Greek letter Σ (summation) to show how many times I have injected Ozempic.

On Tuesday 23 May 2023, it seems like I have been on Ozempic forever. Giving myself an injection each Friday afternoon no longer is a big deal. It simply is a part of my life… Σ or “Summation” is the number of times I have injected Ozempic. V is for vomiting and pain in my ribcage on the lower right. I ate too much of an oily steak for dinner and had a gall bladder attack. Y means I actually took the shot… • My morning was confusing and I forgot to test my blood. Shit happens as they say. AR or about 3:30 am or so, bells rang and a loud voice saying something like "Attention Medical Response Team, go to Baja Deck room B606. This is on deck 11. I repeat: Attention Medical Response Team, go to Baja B606." I was in bed asleep, with my hearing aids out and yet I heard this alert clearly. Kathie was right when she said it was loud in our room. yeah! Such are the benefits of eating very lightly, regular and sometimes strenuous exercise!
