Numbers

Yesterday I found out my Hemoglobin A1C was a whopping 12.5 (normal is 5.5) -well. I called and moved up my seminar date to September and My initial visit to the day after and My primary care Dr to the day after that -once I find out all the consults I need to have;  I can get moving -already have an appointment with the EYE retina specialist from Wills Eye at the end of that week -that just happened to work out. He will be not so pleased with the A1C numbers. I am indeed a walking stick of sugar -not in a good way.

The Beginning

"Today is the first day of the rest of my LIFE" Remember when everyone was saying that? Well I made a big decision today to get some surgical help with my Health problem which is really my weight problem. I secured a place in a weight loss seminar and made my initial consultation with the surgeon. Hopefully, all the things I will have to do before surgery will be accomplished by the end of October.  I will keep this blog as a log for me to document my progression. Am I terrified? -YES - Am I determined? -YES To the point I am ready to take on the debt, just to be healthy.
