It’s Been Busy

It’s Been Busy. Really.
What with the trip to Texas/Oregon at the end of June; a weekend in Billingmarket; a business trip to Ireland – and another trip “up North” next week – it’s been busy lately.
Oh yes – I managed to fit a trip into see the doctor as well. I went to get the results of my recent HbA1c blood test – the one which tests for blood sugar levels over the last three months. In the past I decided not to test my blood sugar regularly as a lot of Type 2 diabetics do as I felt that I was doing enough through diet & exercise to control it. (I even had a free meter delivered by Bayer the other day!).
Anyway, the docs first words were – “I see you’ve lost some weight Mr Flanagan. When you first came to see me you were THIS BIG…” she said with her arms spread wide… “And now you are like this…” she said with the palms of her hands ever so slightly apart. I love this doctor-patient relationship, eh? 
But the results were good. Very good. So much so – that I have persuaded her to let me drop taking the cholesterol tablets once the prescription runs out because I think I have it all controlled myself. She agreed to that. And I have another blood test in December – so we’ll see if I was correct.
Yes. It’s Been Busy. Really. But I’ll try and do better
