It's not my fault though.
Really.
OK, OK. Maybe it is.
Either way, it's Tuesday and you know what that means around here.
Hop on board and lets go for a ride!
Ready?
Here we go!
10. Had an appointment with my doctor today. It was supposed to be follow up with my blood pressure and a follow up with some blood work that was done early last week.
9. The blood work was a fasting blood work to check my blood sugar and to check my cholesterol.
8. There is good news and bad news.
Wait. I'm lying.
There's bad news and worse news.
7. Bad news: My blood sugar wasn't checked so I have to do that all over again. Tomorrow.
6. Worse news: My cholesterol numbers are totally out of whack. The good cholesterol is really low. The bad is pretty high. Although not bad enough for me to be put on meds. I have to try and improve my numbers with diet and exercise.
5. My blood pressure is still pretty high. So I have also been put on a diuretic to help my body try to get rid of the unneeded salt and water.
4. Pretty sure I will be peeing ALL THE TIME. Thankyouverymuch!
3. We found out yesterday that one of the in-laws cats has cancer. Sunday night we noticed a little swelling on the top left of her jaw. So Monday, Randall and FIL took her to the vet.
2. They came home looking defeated. Gave us the news. MIL, Kaylee and myself have all cried on and off since.
1. The vet gave FIL a few days worth of pain meds for the cat so that she can be comfortable. But could not give a time frame as to when she might pass. So they brought her home and we have all been loving on her as much as we can.
This is not my cat but I am completely heartbroken. I have been around these cats for years and they have adopted me. They are part of my family and I love them dearly.
We are worried about how the other cat will react when her sister passes. I am hopeful that she will be OK. The in-laws have been saying that they will get a kitten to help keep her company. I'm not so sure that's a wise idea but, like I said, they are not my animals.
So I am sad and down about the cat and my health.
How was your Tuesday?
Logging you in...

Always hard to watch a family member suffer. I hope she doesn't have to suffer much.

But I wasn't thinking anything of it because the lab tech asked me if I was fasting. I just assumed that she would use some of the blood out of the tube she took to test my blood sugar.
It was a #Fail all the way around.
I hope Maude the cat doesn't suffer much either. . .
None of us are handling it well.
Sigh.

Sorry to hear about the cat. That is just so sad. We lost our cat, Cleo, when we moved into the new house and have not seen her since. We were all heartbroken. She was a big part of our family.
My Tuesday was okay until I had to help Hannah with some Physics. Then it all went downhill because I am just not good at it at all. Funny how one little subject can just put me in a mood all day.
I sure hope that this comment gets through this time.

My Mom also told me to eat a few almonds once a day and that should help with my cholesterol.
We will see.
Physics sucks. I hated that course when I took it in high school.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for you!

I'm hypertensive and hypoglycemic, so I cam sympathize there. Good luck with everything!
Much love & long distance hugs!

And when I was 15? The cat I had had since I was 2 died from cancer.
I feel like I am reliving the whole experience. . .
But I am trying to not make the same mistakes that I made back then. . . Might have to blog about that sometime.
Sigh.
