Sweety is having health issues. He has an ascending aortic aneurysm in his heart. It's big enough that he can't keep his medical card for his CDL driver's license so he's not working right now. He's still getting paid 75% of his average daily pay and that is truly a lifesaver. This is the third time he's been off for medical issues and the company has been wonderful with taking care of us every time. The company he works for will completely cover the cost of surgery so that is very good. They have a medical center just for this sort of thing. They will pay travel costs for both of us, hotel, and food while we're there. We don't know yet when the surgery will be. We're in the first stages of getting everything scheduled. I'm trying to not freak out. I'm just afraid his heart is gonna pop before he can have surgery.
The Bean has started getting her period. I, on the the other hand, have realized I'm done with getting mine and that menopause is over for me. Both things make me feel really old. Bean started getting hers a couple of months ago and I didn't realize it. She told me she had brown discharge and I told her it was normal for it to be different colors. It later occurred to me what was going on and I told her to let me know if it happened again. Sometimes I am clueless.
I'm weaning myself off of flavored water and it's harder than I thought. I hate drinking water. It tastes weird. We do have filtered water. I just don't like it. I'm trying to fast all day and have one meal in the evening. Since your blood sugar goes up after eating, I figured it would be better to just eat and have it go up once instead of 3 times a day. I did one meal a day awhile back and once I got used to it, I felt really good. Then I fell off the wagon. I am super scared of going blind or having my feet fall off because of the diabetes. This is a good motivator to make some changes. I'm even going for a walk after I have my meal today. I'm telling myself I don't have to run a marathon. Just speed walk around the block to start.
