Right now, I am back from the dentist and my wax bite filling. Next appointment is next Wednesday for the fitting. Dentist was irritated trying to figure out my bite. I told him what it was (over and crossed) and he said that it explained a lot, and I wouldn't have that with the dentures.

Right now, I am still irritated for being stopped by our Metro police department for jaywalking. I pointed out to the officer that FOUR cars blew through the red light at the intersection, and would have CREAMED me. By crossing where I did, I had 2000ft. of clear viewing of all vehicles.

The officer pointed out that pedestrian deaths are at an all-time high and he would not like me to be a statistic. I noted that MOST of the fatalities have either been drunks or children (altho there was the guy in the wheelchair) and even those who were hit in the crosswalk were at fault, I'll take my chances with my method.

He opted to just give me a warning, with the caveat to not let him see me do it again. I asked him when he patrolled this area and he just laughed.

I was serious.

Right now, I took the easy way out of buying a graduation gift for the Chief's son (who also cuts our lawn).

I purchased a gift card for the University bookstore where he will be attending in the fall, a pre-paid fuel card for trips home, and a Papa John's gift card, lol.

I never went to college, but if I did, I think I would like those things. :-)

Right now I'm angry, confused, and afraid. My fiance' was told 2 weeks ago he has diabetes. He's been traveling for 2 weeks for work. I'm angry because the dr told him NOTHING about it - said they had to run more tests -in a MONTH. She did tell him not to exercise more than normal until they do the protein test in 3 weeks. They gave him no information on diet, said wait to see the nutritionist - that's in another 3 weeks. I'm confused because in the past 2 weeks I think I must have been to every website on diabetes and it's rattling my brains. I'm afraid because I know all the bad things diabetes can do to a person, and I can't see my fiance' changing his lifestyle much. He forgot his lunch today and ate a candy bar and a had a pop for lunch. His reasoning - dr must not be too worried if she won't tell him anything about it. She did tell him not to miss meals, so he thinks a candy bar and non diet pop is better than not eating at all. I just changed the subject. I don't want to be a nag on this to him. I told him 2 weeks ago it was going to be up to HIM what and how much and when he ate, but that I was going to start cooking healthier. I want to be encouraging, but not controlling. It's going to be a total lifestyle change and he needs to take control of his life.

Halfunit those are GREAT gifts! When I went to college most of the "stuff" I got for graduation stayed at home. But the gift certificates went with me and help tons!

Serate,

I understand how you feel about your fiance. You want to shake some sense into him, and make him understand the importance of his diagnosis, and the lifestyle changes he will have to make.

Unfortunately, he is in heavy duty denial right now. He doesn't want to hear what he's been told.

Give him time to absorb the news, to understand it, to face it, and deal with it.

I know what you're going through. Hang in there, and continue to care about him. You can help him understand and deal with things over time, but ultimately, this is something he has to come to terms with in his own way, and in his own time. Good luck. {{{{Serate}}}}

I agree with Weiner, he doesn't want to think about it and the lunch may have been his way of 'testing' his body, if ya know what I mean.

It will take time for it to sink in Serate but he can live a long and healthy life, if he abides by the guidelines he'll have to follow.

My Dad's had diabetes for close to twenty years now...he's 77 but he just keeps a chugging along there. It's knowledge and attitude that get ya where ya want to go! :-)

Right now, I am puzzled. It appears that the new Sparklett's delivery person and I are not going to do well together. I put out the bottles on Thursday night, with a water change request.

On Friday, the bottles and notes are still there.

On Saturday AM, they were still there, so I brought them in and called Sparkletts.

The carrier called yesterday and said he delivered them. I said he didn't, otherwise, he would have taken the bottles. He says the bottles weren't there.

We are being credited for the missing water this one time. In the future, we will have to pay for water we don't receive.

I'm thinking that he delivered to the wrong house. At least, I'm hoping.

Serate...its tough to be in your shoes. And perhaps even if he had a physician that put it to him straight he would still be in denial. Especially if he doesn't feel bad. In the mean time you can beat your head against the wall and worry silly about him, and he may not even have a clue what has you all upset. I agree with everyone else....the first step in getting help is wanting it. In the mean time come here...vent and scream...share your fears with him, let him know how much he is scaring you....and then just be as supportive as you can be. I'll be thinking about you both....{{{{Serate}}}}

Right now, I am vindicated. The water guy showed up--in tow of one of the little rugrats.

I paid the rugrat fifty-cents (the going rate for apartment guides) and the water dude realized he did NOT deliver the water to our front door.

But, we have the water now, and he knows where to come in the future.

Serate: vent away. You can't control his behavior outside of the house, so work on the inside stuff. Clear out the cabinets and buy a diabetic cookbook and start cooking from that. Make the change and if he asks, tell him that you are doing it because you love him.

right now, i'm thinking that's the best piece of advice. serate you also might want to attend his next doctor's visit, or right down questions that need to be answered by the doctor, to ease yourself. i find it kind of interesting that the doctor didn't get him a blood test kit and a chart to record his blood sugar levels. have you called the doctor and spoke of your worries and concerns?

Right now, I am torn between crying and screaming and hitting someone. (maybe I'll do all three.) I had to make the hard decision to put my angel Jake down today (she's my cat - just turned 4 on May 10th) - and the vet costs, omg. I forgot to ask about her ashes and was just informed that it will be $270 and up if you want to look into going that route.

Their office is closed so I can't confirm that but if it is true then I really feel like I've let her down now. Bad enough my heart is broken.

I'm sorry everyone, I just needed to get that out, didn't mean to bring down the thread.

Serate, there are some excellent diabetic cookbooks and sites - my dad is diabetic so if you have any questions etc. just ask. ((((Serate))))
