20181102 – Friday – Doctor

20181102 – Friday – Doctor.

So, this morning is my visit to the doctor per instructions from Darren.

I am not looking forward to it.

I do NOT enjoy visiting the doctor. 

I always find I am in some way or another NOT doing what I am supposed to do.

But this time I am between a “rock” and a “hard place.” The Rock being Darren and the hard place being the doctor!

I somehow have to tell the doctor that I have given up completely on taking my drugs for a couple of months now, and I have gone on a no carbs diet, and I have stopped taking a lot of my insulin and am just taking small amounts, however much I find I need to keep my sugar levels low, all without his say so.

But, on the other hand, I have lost 3.4 kg in weight and I am feeling amazingly well.

So maybe it will all balance itself out.

Now all I have to do is remember to fill up on petrol before I drive too much further this morning.

It is a beautiful day, and I have driven a different way to the Inc Cafe. 

I have taken photos of interesting houses in the streets around Glenelg, and now I am sitting in the Inc cafe, having breakfasted on 2 poached eggs, wilted spinach, mushrooms and tomato.

And now I feel very full.

I am going to do some transcribing in the time before I go to the doctor, but I will have to set an alarm or I will get wrapped up in what I am doing and forget my appointment with the Doctor.

So now for my dietary information for yesterday.

 

Wake up at  7.30 on 1st November, 2018.

Darren: Those sugar levels are starting to look really good.

Fay: They are!

Darren: I just arrived in Sydney after a red eye flight.

Feel exhausted.

I just want to sleep lol.

But now have a board meeting and dinner tonight!

Fay: Poor thing. Do you have to work all day as well?

Darren: Yes, fly back tomorrow.

Fay: It is a good thing you are so fit.

I have that Doctor’s appointment tomorrow. 

Hope my sugar levels are all good tomorrow!

I have published the Blacksmith’s Daughter for 1976 yesterday. 

So I am back into writing my story again.

I am so pleased.
