I received a phone call today from my endo’s office to confirm my appointment for Friday and I was confused. I said, there’s no way that I could have scheduled an appointment for that day because Friday is Charlie Kimball’s race down in Homestead – Miami that I am going to so I can’t have that appointment. She said, well I don’t think that we have any other openings. I said, you don’t understand, I can’t miss this race, I am going to meet Charlie and be at the race. So she said she would look and see where she could fit me in and give me a call back. 5 minutes later I get a phone call and somebody had cancelled for tomorrow, so it looks like now I have an appointment for tomorrow.

First thing that I am going to explain to the doc when I get in there is come straight out and admit that it hasn’t been a good month for me. In fact, a pretty effin’ bad month. I had a lot of highs, some major lows and just been all over the map with my sugars. However, I did manage to find more time for exercise and lost some weight. I put a little on over the last week, but I had lost enough before that to still be down some weight since the last visit. The last thing is to explain that I haven’t worn the sensor at all for multiple reasons. For one, it started to fall out all the time. Secondly, the ones that I had expired way back in May and never realized it because I just kept thinking, well I still have 2 full boxes. I will probably still attempt to use them though.

I must also remember to get new prescriptions from her however because I am almost out of insulin. That also reminds me that I better re-order very soon because there is always an issue, especially when I need a new prescription sent in. The first time that I had to send in a new prescription, it took me almost 2 weeks to get my insulin delivered, not good customer service in my eyes.

Today’s post a little short because I just got back from the gym and I am tired and I am trying to cook dinner and do laundry and have a lot of work to catch up on tonight. So you all have a great day and I will have a better post tomorrow. Hopefully something positive from the endo appointment.
