Diabeties

Well, I got the phone call from my doctor's office this morning and received the news I didn't want to hear.  After looking at my numbers from my testing the last couple days and combined with my urine sample, my doctor has basically told me I probably have diabeties.  He is sending me to quest labs to get blood drawn to make it official, I guess you would say.  I will admit, I am very very scared.  I've heard too many horror stories of blindness and losing limbs and all that fun stuff.  I know I'm going to the extreme, but I can't help myself.  I'm frightened. 

I also wanted to thank those of you that send me well wishes and prayers on my post yesterday and through pm's on my account here.  Your continued thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.  I am also annoyed that Nicole felt it necessary to start a seperate thread about me and saying that karma is a *****.  Totally uncalled for.  The worst part is that she has me blocked and then decides to cowardly start a post that I can not read.  The only reason I even knew about it was from a pm from a member of this board that made me aware of it.  After finding this out, I logged out of my account and viewed the PA board as a non-member, where I can read everything - just can't reply.  I was absolutely disgusted at the ignorant people on this board that felt it was funny that I am going through health problems that very well may affect the rest of my life.  Nice job ladies, you have shown just how classless you truly are.  How old are you anyway, 12? 

By the way, for those of you that are friends with Nicole that want to let her know about this post, please be my guest.  I'm not a coward and don't have to post something about someone I have blocked knowing that she can't read it.  If she wants to read it, all she has to do is either unblock me or log out of her account and view the PA board as a non-member.  It's not hard to do.  After it was apparent that I would never be able to apologize enough to a certain group on this forum, I had stepped away and layed low.  Yet, Nicole still felt it necessary to act like a junior high juvenile and start that thread yesterday.  Like I said, for those of you that sent well wishes and prayers my way, they were greatly appreciated.  For Nicole and her cronies that thought it was "cool" to pile on Andy while I'm about to begin a life changing portion of my life, you guys can kiss my ass.  I apologize for my behavior to the truly good-hearted people on this board.  I'm done.

Andy,
Sign yourself up for a subscription to the magazine Diabetes Forcast, You will find a ton of current info dealing withall aspects od diabetes. Info is power. I'm sorry for your diagnosis, but all I can say is that the condition would be alot worse for you had you not lost all of your excess weight. Keep exercising and eating right and this condition can be controlled. I wish yu the best, and if you can afford it, have your diabetes managed by an endocronologist, not your local general practioner. I wish you the best,
Chris

Not going to reply about the latter part of your message as I don't know you OR anything about the beef you have with other OH members.

Just wanted to say that almost every medical facility provides Diabetic classes and just because you are diabetic does not mean you will go blind, lose a limb or have kidney failure. Those are often cases where patients are non compliant.

A person can lead a very healthy life if they follow thier diabetic plan of food, expercise and medications.

who's the juvenile now... AND she never mentioned a name - guilty conscience?

good bye

Grow up Liz, I wasn't born yesterday, I've been on this planet for a few days now.  Go ahead, stick behind her and laugh at my health problems.  But be careful though, like Nicole said, karma can be a *****.

I'm not going to turn this into a teenage name calling thread.  I simply was posting my results for those that had asked me to do so yesterday and also used the opportunity to vent my feelings on Nicole's needless thread.  Honestly Liz, out of the entire post, you joining in disappointed me the most.  I didn't realize you felt that way towards me.  Very upsetting.

I will stick behind her because she is my friend. To me that means more then anything.

I will never laugh at medical problems. I have a father, and an uncle who have suffered with diabetes for 30+ years.

You hurt people who are very important to me, I have my loyalties.

Take care of yourself and you won't have any problems

Liz, I appreciate you coming to my defense and I am sorry that you are being attacked due to it. I can handle this. No need for anyone else to be hurt.

Andy I have had you blocked because the vile attention seeking behaviors that you exhibit on this board make me sick. You come here to get support and whine about your life when , you have very little right to ask for it based on your criminal and predatory behaviors on this board.

I am not a coward just not very computer savy. I forgot that when You post something that people who are blocked cannot see it and when I realized that later last night I felt dumb. Not to mention the fact, that I did not say who I was refering to. You decided to call attention to it and let the world know it was aimed at you. Wonder why you chose to do that? Need attention much? need to always feel like the victim? poor andy and all that?  I have you unblocked now, and am letting you know exactly how I feel. I am aware that you have stalker accounts and can sign on to the PA Board and view those who have blocked you. It was no secret.

I do not apologize for my post, because I do believe that Karma is a ***** I believe that you have done awful things and that you will reap what you sow. I believe that the true cost of your behaviors have not come about yet. I do not and cannot feel sorry for you.  I have seen you take advantage of, people's kindness,. manipulate the facts. Not just on this board, you have done it on others, and talk about classy? Pot calling kettle black.
The only thing I regett is that I let you get under my skin. I regret that. I regret that  I am a good person, who ususally accepts and loves everyone, cannot forgive you for the things yuo have done to those I care about. That is my regret.

I am not sure why people here have chosen to align with you or send you PMs? I am sure they probably dont know the extent of your bad behaviors. So they can be forgiven for that. 

I have no cronies, I find it interesting that you use that choice of words.  So yes. Here I am saying to you and the PA board and to anyone else. You all know me. You know my heart, and If I am willing to take this kind of stand? Maybe just maybe there might be a really good reason for it. So Choose to believe what you want. 

So, now you are the one who decides who has the right to ask for help on this board Nicole?  My bad, I thought it was a public forum and, more specifically, for Pennsylvania residents that have had wls or looking into having it.  And, please, don't talk about "vile attention seeking behaviors.  Lets keep it real, there are enough people on all of these OH boards that seek attention, by no means do I stand alone.  Actually, that comment is very annoying.  I spend a good part of my early time with Barix running a support group out of the kindness of my heart to give people a place to go for support.  You know what that dedication is like, as you are apparently doing it at Dr. Brader's.   The last thing I am is an attention seeking ***** so to speak.  I was a regular poster on the exercise thread - often starting the post each day - because I wanted people to hold themselves accountable for their decisions.  I didn't post on that thread to show everybody how far I can run or how much weight I can lift.  If I started the thread, it was for othes to have a place to post, and if someone else started it, then I contributed just like everybody else.  During my regular days on here, I was as big a supporter as anybody.  I know that.  And it had nothing to do with me, it was because I was exactly where everybody else was in their life.

As for the karma comment, just remember what you said.  To make light of someone's health issues is as low as you can get.  You see Nicole, although I also believe in karma, I am a little too mature to make that kind of comment.  It makes you look childish, just like yesterday.  I would never, in a million years, make light of an individual's health problems.  Not even my worst enemy.

As for people aligning with me and sending me pm's, there doesn't have to be any other reason other than they have good hearts and generally care about other human beings.  They don't need your foregiveness.  The majority of them know the history here an realize that there is a whole lot more than this mess than meets the eye.  I let it go a long time ago, but you allowed it to resurface yesterday.  You just couldn't let it die.  All you had to do was ignore my post and continue to support others on here.  I did not ask for, nor do I need, your support. 

I am going to put an end to this now.  We both said our peace and, in my mind, it's over.  I've always said, even when I publicly apologized to all that I hurt, that I wasn't going to get in the way of this being the supportive board it is.  A board that I was a very active member of for a very long time.  I simply put out a thread yesterday letting those that I still have contact with, what I was going through.  And today's thread was to give an update and to vent about what I considered to be a very unnecessary thread by you that was put out in very bad taste.
