High-Risk Pregnancy
My gd update...
I was in touch with home health care today and we've got an appt. with a nurse tomorrow morning, bright and early, at 8am. We're having a bday party for ds (who turned 4 Thursday!!) tomorrow at 1, with family coming in early, so that's why the early hour. She is bringing me a glucometer (?sp?) and all supplies needed. They said they were going to monitor me for 21 days. Why that time period? I am asking her tomorrow, but is that typical? Anyway, she''s also going to talk with me about diet, etc. I am still having a hard time accepting and adjusting, it's been hard to eat lately. I guess my hormones have me all crazy about this. Anyway, we're having to pay a little over $500 out of pocket (still paying on two surgeries I had the past 18 months,so luckily they gave us a payment plan). I am a little nervous about this meeting. The nurse seems very nice though, so that is a little reassuring. *sigh*

Well, expenses aside (being that there's nothing you can do about those), I want to assure you that testing is really easy, not that time-consuming, and if you get a newer monitor (accu-chek, bayer contour/ascensia, etc.) you can test on your arm, which is painless. Starting out, it seems a little daunting, but you'll be able to do it!
