Okay, so I just got back from my follow up appointment to the doctors. It was supposed to be a full exam but he postponed that because he wanted to go over the blood test and MRI results. No big surprises...onset Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and abnormal liver lipids. More evidence that suggest I am fat. Duh! Yea, my mirror tells me that!
Just got off the phone with Ric...he had his MRI today for his banged-up sholder from the accident. Turns out it's not just sprained, his sholder bone is broken. He's probably gonna be outta work for a few more weeks now. He still wants to go to New Orleans next weekend though, yet he'll probably be in a sling.
I'm on lunch at work, but I'm not eating because I went to the McDonald's right next to the doctors office this morning and had 2 egg McMuffins. Just the thing for my health, right? Oh brother!
I'm really thinking of making the new Orleans trip my "Last Fling" for decadence in eating and drinking behavior.
And I say behavior rather than just simply eating or drinking because my problems stem mostly from the way I use food and alcohol, not the food and alcohol themselves. It's the behavior that must change. The correct food choices and severely limited alcohol use will follow.
Or should I get all Draconian and just force myself on a severe diet and total absintence from drinking all at once?
This doctor has me going for ultrasound for my liver, classes for diabetes and twice weekly physical therapy sessions for my frozen shoulder. Man, I'm gonna be a busy beaver!
Well, almost time to start my training class for the new hire (I do training specifically on the BE product).
I'll try to stay alive 'till the next post!
