I had a doctor's appointment today, and I was sincerely dreading it. I hate arguing with the doctor. She is actually a Physician's Assistant, but, you know what I mean. She had been trying to convince me to do metformin for my 'diabetes', even though I clearly fell into the pre-diabetes range. I was pushing back.
I cited NIH guidelines. I discussed the fact that I was hampered by a very bad knee which made exercise difficult. I was also struggling with a bit of depression. I was just not in a good place last winter.
Personally, I was seeing this as a wake up call. I got serious about my diet. My knee replacement allowed me to begin exercising in earnest.
But despite all of those changes, I was dreading that doctor visit like crazy. I was sure that the issue would be pushed again.
Except it wasn't.
I am no longer pre-diabetic. I have lost just over 28 pounds this year. They are pleased with the changes. Told me to keep on keeping on.
I can't tell you how relieved I am.
Pete Hegseth put out a demand that all news agencies at the Pentagon had to sign a pledge not to cover any stories not approved by the Pentagon. The deadline was 5 pm today. As far as I can see only one far right news group has signaled a willingness to do so, something called OANN, which stands for One America News Network.
I can't tell you how relieved I am about that too.
Let's end it on a humorous note, shall we?
I love the text idea. I can think of several people I could freak out with that.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!!!! Congratulations on the weight loss, the better eating habits and the exercise with your sparkling new knee! I am so glad your worry was for nothing!!!
It is a good day!

ReplyDeleteGood on you for maKING IMPROVEMENTS in your health without medication.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having such a positive appointment.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the weight loss and great that the dreaded "you need" . . . wasn't mentioned. I have two friends called Pam, and made the sad mistake of sending a message of I'm on my way to the wrong one, and had a very sad friend . . .
