Aranesp

Just keeping track of my shot. I'm pretty sure I missed the last one but I've taken this one and I'm back on track. Three weeks from now I'll do it again. REFERENCE point. ;)

How to cook something new once a month

"I learned to try one or two new things a week and stick with well known things the rest of the time."

How I did it: It is difficult to change an entire lifestyle and takes TIME. I just searched out recipes to try and committed to trying one or two of them a week. Many times I didn't like them but I also found many awesome cook-again recipes that we ALL loved!

Lessons & tips: Start small and work up to the fancier, more difficult recipes. Added stress is not helpful in the long run.

It took me 30 days.

It made me frustrated

How to take Time to Read!

"I realized how much I miss reading a good story and how inspired I am by them!"

How I did it: Decided at the times when I was not feeling well or had no energy to spend that it would become a reading day. In this way I get the rest I need and I catch up on some good stories!

It took me 30 days.

It made me happy

New Meds

Picked up my new meds today. Called Trajenta.
HOPE it will help. Trying to avoid mealtime insulin and still help lower sugars but NOT harm the kidneys more. Wish me luck!!

KC Clinic

Back from Kidney Care Clinic.
Things to work on, both good and bad. Sugars are better...keep it up.
Potassium is high. Try to keep under 3000mg per day intake and will improve.
Also keep sodium under 1500mg per day.
Otherwise keep doing what I'm doing.
Stress.Up and down, back and forth...yoyo!!

Cheese

Living on cheese slice sandwiches. NOT really a fabulous choice but they only cost $2 as opposed to all the other cheeses being $4-$5...and I'd eat better but don't even get me started...I don't have meds either that I need...hopefully I'm picking them up tomorrow...but...I need insulin tomorrow so they may have to wait a week again...I don't have ENOUGH money to pay for meds and school and food and bills!!!!!!!

Another Shot

One more down...one million or more to go...lol.
I am making peace with giving myself shots.
I want to live and if this is the way how then I guess I will do it.
