Feeling wonky. My blood sugar is high, I just took my long-acting insulin (Lantus), that I take nightly, and I'm contemplating calling my doctor's office tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the last appointment he said to come back in one month, but they set it for three, and my blood sugar has consistently been over 200 fasting since he took me off my oral meds. Right now it's 330 and it's been over three hours since I ate anything. I think we need to be more aggressive about adjusting my Lantus and Novolog.
Today I was drowning in paperwork, but I managed to get almost caught up on my data entry, which is good, as there's a time limit for it.
Tomorrow I can finally pay my rent. I've checked my balance (it goes in late the night before payday) and I have enough to pay rent, pay the IRS, pay my phone bill, and have about $75 for two weeks for food. I tried to get a forbearance on my student loans tonight until I'm finished paying the IRS, since it's eating up such a big part of my pay, but their website was being odd and timing out, so I'm not sure if it went through. I'll try again tomorrow.
I'm going to try to get up early tomorrow. Not only do I have to go to the bank and get a money order for my rent, but I still had a couple of things to do for a friend on the computer, although I got stuff done for another friend tonight before I faded out. At one point I just had to get away from the computer (I've been trapped in front of one all day) and lit some lavender incense, turned on music of Hildegarde of Bingen, and relaxed in the comfy chair until a friend called. But after awhile, I kind of faded and after we hung up I headed into the bedroom because I wanted the fan for circulating air and my neck was bothering me, so I laid down and that was it--gone for three hours. But I got up, drank some water, took my insulin, did a bit on the computer, and now I'm contemplating going back to bed. My neck is still hurting a bit, so I'm going to take some ibuprofen. I saw the neck specialist today. It's not bad enough for surgery, but as he put it I'm still fairly young and it is degenerative, so I can expect problems in the future. He ordered more physical therapy to get me over the acute issues. I need to check my flexible spending account--he's ordered PT 3 times a week for four weeks. That's $40 a shot. I'm not sure I can afford that and still be able to pay for medicine till the end of the year. I'll see.
Okay, going to bed now. Have a good night.
