NG

‘NG’ in this case means ‘not good’ and that is how I am feeling right now.
We went out fairly early to get our grocery shopping done since surprise Hubby’s pension check had been electronically deposited a day early!
After I paid nearly all our bills online I told him perhaps we should go out before the holiday causes road delays and craziness in the stores and get our bi-monthly list completed and so we did.

I have still been getting high numbers on my test strips for my glucose and so about a week ago I asked Hubby to pick up one of those beverages that supposedly controls the spikes in your glucose. It is not medication, just a supplemental drink not that unlike the diet ones I have been consuming for breakfast on occasion.
And so I saw no reason to think that it could be harmful?
My glucose has been fluctuating a wee bit too high and this morning again it was 115 before breakfast and so I had a drink for that purpose. I have been dizzier than usual too.
One six pack is all Hubby bought and it has been refrigerated for over a week since I really thought it would be there just in case…

So we go to the grocery me in my scooter once we arrive and Hubby with the shopping cart as usual and we accomplish all that has to get done including picking up two of my prescriptions. But to be honest the pharmacist was coughing and not sounding too good.
Any-who I don’t fear this since I am bullet proof with due to September receiving my two in one flu shots, which I am sure are working in full strength by now!

Any-who, we or I should say Hubby thought that we should go through the drive thru at the golden arches since it was nearly twelve thirty and he’s hungry and so I agree and foolishly I decided to get my usual, which to be truthful has been since I was kid and when I was in much better shape than these days… Big Mac and French fries and no chocolate shake, which is the only change that I have made in this usual that only occurs once every few months these days, but it is one of the few places that you still get lunch for two for under ten bucks, true? I can remember when it was under two bucks! Boy, am I old or what? Funny thing about this particular meal; it was my comfort food when I came back from my European tour while in college (the golden arches were not in Europe yet, ancient history), it was the same meal choice but plus the shake since I was barely a hundred pounds soaking wet and so I did it without thought or any concern… it was at Kennedy Airport way back then in 1969! Although, I even had dysentery all the way home on the plane!(I drank the wrong bottled water in Portugal and had been given Paregoric on the trip home from chaperones)And so to me it was the metaphoric concept of kissing the USA ground, eating that burger, fries and shake from you know where!

Moving on… Ahhh memories…
Sadly though it was probably my downfall since my tummy was so bad this evening I have been living on generic tummy meds and ginger ale!
And I refused the nice dinner I helped make.
Actually my tummy refused it not me.

And so that is why I believe I do not feel well, but I could be wrong I have been wrong before. Sometimes trying to find the cause can be as stimulating as solving a mystery or as boring as one too.
All I know is I feel like crap and this is major that I brought myself to the computer to let you all know this, since up until a few minutes before this night's writing I had told Hubby he might have to tell you my fate of the day…
Oh well…life goes on and I am sure with all my other ills daily this is just another glitch in all that, huh? But the good thing about this one is that it will pass while the others seem to hang on…arthritis, ms and high blood pressure, cholesterol, optic neuritis (blind in one eye), ataxia (balance), possible diabetes… so to be honest this is NOT that big a deal, huh?
Sorry for this bologna again but it has been a while since I had any melt downs and I just read my FB friend's Blog and all her equal similar frustrations… but she continues to make lemonade out her lemons and so I will be here tomorrow trying for the same thing!

So happy night to all and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?

PS I would like to congratulate one of my other FB friends on the arrival of her new grandson he was early but took his time coming out and as of this time I understand all is well and let’s all hope that continues for his next one hundred years! Welcome X!
