Life moves on!!

Wow, I'm slowly having some time to breath. This past week has been busy and the hubby had a week of vacation we thought it would be a week of just relaxing but instead we are running around with appointments and such. I thought vacation is to rest and reflection on life to figure out how to enjoy time and family but instead we are running around. I think I'll take a break in the next decade. Oh well, at least I'm being honest about it :) I knew we should have gone to Reno for a few days. I went and found myself a new Doctor. The other one I had was nice but she couldn't help me any longer. I'll be calling tomorrow to find myself a new Hematologist also because the one I'm seeing isn't doing anything I feel is helping me so it's time to move on. I got some of my tests results back and those one's have come back in the normal range. Most of those tests were from my yearly Diabetes routine blood tests. I am waiting for the big test, a new one which I'll be waiting impatiently for. It's the 25-hydroxy vitamin D test to measure how much vitamin D is in your body. I'm being tested for Vitamin D Deficiency. I think I've been tested for everything else but not this test. I'm really hoping this is my answer to all my problems and it's treatable with drugs. I started taking drugs for my Orthostatic hypotension and it took what almost 6 months to get that taken care of. I'm not looking forward to get my A1C back because I know it will be high. The A1C test is the diabetic test to see how controlled your Diabetes have been controlled over a period of months. My last A1C was 6.5 which is okay. Doctor's like Diabetics to be around the 6 mark but under 7 is ideal. During pregnancy they want you around 5 which can be done but it's not something I could do on a forever deal. My doctor's prefer me to be between 6 and 6.5 because of my Diabetic Retinopathy(eye disease). I would rather not have to get laser treatments again and if my Diabetes is under a certain number it puts strain on my eyes so I can't be too low or of course, too high. My weight is good and has been stable for the last 9 months. Other than having a large amount of blood drawn my health is stable as in no more new medical problems to deal with. I'll write when I get my very important test back. You think what medical problems I don't have...cancer...I don't have cancer.....I am blessed I don't have cancer!!!! Well my son had his speech therapy appointment and we decided to put him in the early development program to help him with his speech. I know he's only two but he's way behind at his age and like I told the hubby it doesn't hurt to help him now before it can become a serious problem later. He was so professional at his appointment. I think it was because his sister wasn't there and it was something fun for him. He got to play with toys at this appointment and point to pictures so to him this was easy. I also made Hearing appointments for the whole family. I know the daughter has wonderful hearing but it's good to have a base hearing test for her so in the future she needs another hearing test they already will have one on file for her. The son needs one with his on going speech situation and I figured the hubby and I should get out hearing done too. Well I finally gave myself a break but soon I'll be baking a cake for my hubby. It's his 35th birthday today. Happy Birthday sweetie!!! Busy Busy Busy!!!! I'll slow down sometime in the future. Take care, Peace!!!!
