Scales of Time

Hello All,

I want to start by saying thank you for all the kind and wonderful suggestions and comments that you posted in response to my blog "In and Out".  Everyone seemed to say what I was thinking myself, but it is always difficult to tear down new walls.  As of now, I am planning on attending the Green Bay "Pride Alive" festivities. I will be out, proud and hopefully will have fun.  It is a great comfort knowing that I have such wonderful friends all around the Country who support me and what I do in my life.  Thank you all!

I had an all kind of good and bad medical week.  I had a visit this week with my Endocrinologist...my diabetes doctor.  Now I have been going to her ever since I had my medical crisis almost 3 years ago.  Together we have worked hard to get my diabetes under control and I am happy to say I have  come a long way with it.  Now, my last favorite part of my visit is getting weighted.  The scale is one that I can drive my wheelchair on to.  The bad news here was that I drove a bit to far and became stuck on the scale. It took three lovely nurses to get me unstuck.  Then the good news..I lost 30 pounds in 5 months.  Woohoo!..The funny thing about this scale is that the longer you stay on the lower your weight goes...My kind of scale!

The next day I had my yearly appointment with the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Clinic.  They assess the current stages of my disease and see if there is anything they can help me with.  MDA has been a vital part of my life, both emotionally and monetarily.  They are currently going to pay for my boot/brace to be fixed. Of course for the second day in a row, they wanted to get my weight...a guy could get a complex.  They wanted this one without the chair.  Well the bad news was that I was 100 lbs more then I thought.  But I had still lost 30 lbs. I will be happy to not see another scale for a few months. 

And now, this Tuesday I have a dentists appointment because I broke a tooth and can't chew on the left side of my mouth without screaming bloody murder.  Now as you have learned, I always try to find the good in every situation.  So,, because the closest dentist that will take medicare is an hour away, I get to see a whole different part of Wisconsin on Tuesday.  Only my 3rd visit out of the Green Bay city limits in 11 years ...YAY...I'm sooooo excited. lol

This is all part of my life, I hope it doesn't sound like complaining...just documenting  the joys, sorrows, questions, triumphs as I live my funny life.  Thank you for caring enough to follow along.

Be Sunny, Be Light and Be Superb!
