# 14 out of the way!

So, I don't know if  you read a couple of blogs ago that I had some blood work done...well the results came in and now I have diabetes!! Really?  Seriously?  I have no idea why this  hit me harder than the words " you have breast cancer".   Curious how I stepped right into the Twilight Zone.  I heard myself say " No freaking way!"  My good cholesterol is very good and I guess that is a very good thing.  All of the numbers that my doctor told me did not mean a thing but I guess that I can control it by changing my diet and taking a little pill.  I have pretty much eaten what ever I want and as much as I want all of my life so this is a very huge inconvenience for me.  It is now time to pay the piper.
Tomorrow is number 15 radiation treatment and so far nothing major has happened to my body except a little tenderness on my left side and arm.
Right now is when I get a couple of cookies and a glass of milk before I brush my teeth and go to sleep.  I am now in withdrawal ...HA!  I am such a whiner...WAAAAA....
BOO HOO : (
There... I am done...
God is good and I KNOW that I know that He loves me and will continue to guide me and protect me...period!
Good night. I will go to sleep tonight with a grumbling stomach because I cannot eat my cookies and milk.
OK. I am really done whining.
Good night Flash lights and Firefly.

Even when you are given another blow you seem to always stand strong ready for another one. You are such a great person, mother and friend. This is just another learning experience for you and a warning for me and Whit. (See how I made it about us) :)I want to be half the person you are Mother. Don't worry I don't have you on a pedastal to be knocked down. I just admire your stillness in chaos. I love you, have a great Friday!

Diabetis...another tough "pill" to swallow...another thing for you to tackle...wow. I then read Summer's post. I know how grateful you are for your girls, your hubby, your grandkids, your family and friends. I am so grateful that you have them to lift you up, help you, love you. What a beautiful family you have. Love and prayers, Patti

WOW THAT FLIPPING SUCKS. I am sure this will go away in time. I wonder if it because of all your body has gone thru. It can be controlled, but it no fun when you have to watch what you eat. I know it's all that Mexican food. Soo much cheese. Now you may have to act like us white fok. It's not too bad. You might enjoy it. Now I will close have to make a white fok dinner. Wonder what that is LUV U Firefly.
