Today was long in coming.

 I went to the doctor today all ready for a good blessing out. I am so used to the same ol stuff like you must not be eating right your blood work sucks... Well anyway my sweet little tiny lady doctor was looking at the chart and sorta pops up and says "Oh My.. "I'm thinking ok here it comes. She then grins and says you lost thirty more pounds.. I was relieved cause it had been a couple of months since the last visit. Then she took a look at my stats and did a double take called the lab for a hard copy and when it got there prepared to give me the shock of my life. She told me I no longer was needing any diabetic medicine. She then took me off my cholesterol medicine since my ldl was below 70 and the HDl was ok as well. She then looked at my blood pressure and reduced me to one pill a day on it and told me if it continued to stay down get rid of it. Hell they are going to have to fire about half the employees that make pills. This time last year I was on at least 15 meds or injections a day and had reduced that from about six more. My triglycerides were in the 1000 plus unheard of factor had plummeted to a mere 115. I thought I had hit the lottery or something. This put alot of closure for me as an unhealthy patient turning things around. I still get to keep a couple of things from the pharmacy one being my pouch pleaser and the other one to keep the insomnia gremlins away. I am just pretty dang happy things are looking alot better. I passed the sixty pound marker this week and am only three pounds away from my first goal of 235. It was the best early christmas present I could ask for except maybe the two day concert in Asheville this weekend. Ok im off the soapbox again.. 

 You're lookin' great, honey, and I'm so proud of you!
