So I’ve seriously been good with the diabetes (but missed my appointment last month… but as a somewhat valid excuse… I didn’t even have the $15 to cover the co-pay) and have been taking insulin shots (which by the way is now shooting OUT of the injection site WHILE I’m injecting…) and the prescribed medicines. I seriously should have had James enroll in the FSA thing as I just now realized that I’m spending A LOT of money on just monthly prescriptions.

TDI finally paid James his check so we got to pay off the bills and such!! I’m honestly glad I don’t have to sell Kurumi.

Although a strange thing happened. I didn’t so ANYTHING to my toe. No pedicure, no touching, no stubbing, nothing. But my toe started hurting really badly, got red like it’s getting infected and then it got infected. I neatly trimmed the long nail thinking maybe I stubbed it somewhere and it hurt. It was a neat trim that wasn’t cut low at all but now there is a small wound in the upper right part of the toe and its infected.

I just don’t get it… I mean does having diabetes mean that I freaking shoot bacteria out of my eyes when I look at my toes? I’m washing and alcoholing and neosporin-ing it now but BLEH… I don’t want to go to the doctor’s for this… *sigh* I seriously go to the doctors at least once a year from toe infections.

I also seem to have serious acid reflux problems. I am now waking up every night coughing and then phelming. I’ve felt sick to my stomach due to acid reflux morning sickness every morning from 5am-11am  since I got diabetes but it seems like its getting worse.  I’ve been prescribed zantac twice a day but that doesn’t seem to be helping.

It really is a privilege to be healthy.
