How's everyone doing this week??

I am feeling over all better...

The GD diagnosis is settling in and although consistantly annoying, I have yet to have a high after meal food... Only 2 "high" fasting numbers, which I am told there is really nothing I can do about.
A lot of me is still in denial that I have this... That the test was wrong because I was given an un reasonable amount of sugar for the test. I only did the 2 hour test (75mg) and she flat out said I had it. Let me do the 1 hour and if I don't pass that tell me I have it... But idk. I wish I was given the 1hr 3 hr opportunity like most...
I see my nutrtitionist tomorrow... Honestly, I am just praying I don't have to go from 2 testings a day to 3 when I have passed all of my meal tests.. We will see though I suppose.

I have 2 bday parties to go to this weekend.. 1 on Sat and 1 on Sunday... Not going to them until after I test at lunch.. So I am hoping I wont have to excuse myself there to have myself test a 3rd time.

Thats about it I suppose. =]

I've been doing pretty well. Since giving my notice at work, I find I have more patience with the idiots I work with because I can see the end in sight (well, all but one idiot, he's a special case and an asshole).  I am still finding it hard that my mom is going through her health stuff, selfishly because she has less bandwidth for me.  When I was pregnant with C I got all sorts of calls and attention and questions and support.  I get it now if I ask for it, and I certainly don't get the phone calls that I used to.  I can't be upset with her, she's dealing with a lot of stuff of her own and I need to be supportive for that, and I am, but I am upset with the whole situation.  I'm upset that she's dealing with seizures and no one knows why, I'm upset that her struggles take so much out of her, and I'm upset that it means less energy for giving me attention.  I'm also upset with myself for being so selfish, but at least I'm keeping that to myself (except on here, obviously). 

I feel like my moods are evening out a bit, which is awesome.  More patience with C as well, which is good.  I'm taking Friday off to do whatever the hell I want, with a prenatal massage that evening, and my ILs have C overnight Saturday so we can try and get her new room painted.  Should be good, and relaxing.

I agree with you. No where in the medical field do you go off of one test to diagnose something. It's multiple tests usually over a period of time. They can't even say you have high BP without consistency. We all think its a joke at work.

I feel better for the most part. I feel like my moods adequately reflect the situation and I'm even proud of myself for taking something's well.

My SO had surgery and that went well. Money situation is better managed.

Stress with my step daughters. And a stupid fight over a cake at my baby shower.

I'm choosing to not let it affect me this week. My family is coming this weekend. Soo excited!!
