No news is good news...and this is bad news...

I just got home from 6 hours at St. Cloud Hospital in the ER.

I spent a most of my night expelling large amount of mass out one of two orifices.

They found the problem.

I'm Type-II diabetic.

I'm not dealing well with this news. It wasn't unexpected as it's heavy on both sides of the family...but I just wasn't ready to hear the news.

*HUG*

I remember when Hunter received his diagnosis that he was Type-II. It explained a lot. Things that had seemed out of place before now had a context.

I felt bad though that I told him he had it before he did. I wished I'd been wrong.

BUT... he's adapted. If he'd lose the weight, he'd be able to stop the medicine. But we all know how hard it is to lose and keep off the weight. Especially after years.

I'm sure you can pull through. I suspect you'll drop the weight to bring yourself into the safety zone. :)

But be happy you found it now... and not 10 years from now when the effects have been taking control.

*HUG*

The idea is to take care of yourself! I know it can be daunting, but it's important!
