Holiday Health Update

 Hello Everyone!


Christmas Tree in the waiting room at the doctor's office 

As many of you know I was really sick in August and September with pneumonia, sepsis, and covid. Since I was so sick my blood sugar skyrocketed to 525 once I was the ER during the first hosptial visit. I've never been a diabetic, but because I was so sick the onset of diabetes became prevalent. Diabetics does run heavily in my family but I never had a problem. My A1C has always been in the range of normal and pre-diabetic. 

The doctors in the hospital and my primary doctor were hoping that my diabetes would reverse since they notice my A1C was coming down significantly within a matter of those few weeks. Thank God I'm on the right path. I'm so happy to report that my A1C is normal again.

I was so nervous before my doctor appointment earlier this week because outside the diabetes concerns I'm still battling colds and sinuses, but my low grade fever was normal by time I went to my appointment. Thankfully my test came back negative for Covid, Flu, and Strep Throat. My lungs sounded clear and my heart sounded good. I can hold off on getting my lungs checked for now. I still have to watch out for fevers and get my lungs checked every few months. I'm still under the weather, but I feel so blessed that my health is improving. This is one of best Christmas/Birthday gifts that I could receive.

Pilar, I'm so glad that you have good news from your check-ups and your health is being restored. You look beautiful in PINK! I love that color on you. I should wear it more often, but it's hard to find clothes up here haha.

Merry Christmas to you, dear friend.
