Re: Had Dr. appointment today

[Guest guest]

My husband saw the Dr. today and they went over his BS numbers since Dr.

increased his meds to 8 mg. Amaryl in mornings and 1,000 mg. Metformin

twice a day.

Hi Amber,

Just wondering how much Amaryl your husband was taking before.

Originally he was put on 2 mg. in the mornings by the nurse

practitoner. Dr. was in Sri Lanka at the time working in an orphanage.

BS numbers weren't coming down, so she increased to 4 mg. Dr. returned

and put him on 8 mg. He's been on 8 for a month now.

Sometimes I dont have the energy to work out, but once I start, I feel

better and have more energy. Try to stress that to your hubby. Get him to

walk for five min. I always feel better once I have worked out! Many times

people get into the 'rut' saying I have no energy, many times they dont have

any, but sitting all day doing nothing is going to make a person have less

energy than if they were to get up and move....

I know you are right but I don't want to get to the point where I feel

like a nag. It's got to be up to him. Dr. was very firm about it

yesterday.

Hi Grace,

It has a lot to do with diabetes. It is one of the ways you are working to

keep your bg readings normal. What a great way to spend a Saturday!

i went out today and rode two of my horses in the field. one of them is unbroke

and the other is sorta broke to ride. they both did well considering the one

had never been ridden. he reared up on me but i stayed on. and did a little

rodeo exhibition for me but did well over all. i never have energy anymore and

i really had to talk myself into going out to ride. tomorrow after church i am

taking one of my big horses out to ride on the trails.

yes i have. i have trained 3 others to. this is his first time being ridden

with someone who wanted something from him. i have had him home here the last

few months and we were working on trust issues. he trusts me but i am not sure

i trust him as much yet.

i am careful though and do wear a helmet. just dont ask if i wore one today.

LOL

thank you for the concern though you sound like you know something about horses.

Horseback riding is excellent exercise, but it sounds dangerous for you

to be mounting a horse that rears with you. Have you been doing all the

basic ground work?

than i spoiled it by eating an ice cream bar. didnt raise it to much though and

it will be okay tomorrow. i just need to get my butt in gear. since they

changed my sleeping pill i havent been feeling as good as i should. i was

taking ambien but they put me on restoril and while it helps me to sleep i still

dont sleep deep enough so i am going to complain and hope they put me back on

the ambien. its tough being a veteran and using the veterans hospital instead

of private practice docs.

but jim just got medical insurance so i am going to be useing it.
