Waiting....


I should be ok with waiting....or should I?

I had blood taken on Wednesday. A lot of blood.....more then I think was necessary, but only because it made me squeamish! This is highly ironic, as I work in the health care field, and have seen enough blood and gore to desensitize a whole health care team....but watching those small vials, pulsate full with my bright red blood, still brings me down!!

Either way, it will take a week for those results to make it to my doctors desk....but I know, right now, the results are known....just not to me.....ohhhhh the suspense!!

It is not a major issue.....inconvenient, but not major (everything is relevant....!!!). No more gluten? Sure....it can't be that hard (sarcastic) It all started with those famed words "we found some abnormalities in your blood work". I joked and said "My HbA1c out of normal range? I may have diabetes".....sigh, no laughter in return. Come on Doc, I attempt to lighten the mood with a joke!

2 more days, hopefully.....I will do as usual, and keep busy!!

Our times right now make anything seemingly impossible become possible. You can substitute recipes requiring flour (or anything that has gluten in it) with flax seed. The good thing about it is that it has a holistic boost of nutrients that are beneficial for a diabetes diet...

The waiting is always the most frustrating time for me. Good luck with your results.
