{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} spritey....*toots her horn* hellooooo

1:13 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my darling. Just read your email, will reply after babble. How are you doing?

1:15 am

grannyrose

that's not fair. asking how i'm doing. do you want me to fib or tell the truth? i don't want/need another scolding.

1:16 am

sprite

oh yes you do, lol. A big scolding even.

1:19 am

grannyrose

flippin' GP says i now have diabetes. diagnosed on blood results only.no polyuremia, no polydipsia, no hypo's, no hypers, no neuropathy. bah !! humbug!! now that is going to follow me for the rest of my life. even when i lose weight, and reduce that fat on my pancreas. SO NOT HAPPY...

1:20 am

sprite

well, better not wait for the neuropathy to start before treating the diabetes... Am sorry, honey, I know it sucks. You may want to buy a test kit and keep a log doing 3 tests a day, seeing how you do overall.

1:21 am

grannyrose

and... she wants me to see a diabetes educator. i just glared at her evilly and said NO. for goodness sake !! would she like to see my third year exam essay on diabetes. it went for 3 pages...

1:21 am

sprite

lol

1:21 am

sprite

but things have changed over the years... new insights... it never hurts to learn a bit more.

1:22 am

grannyrose

i bet i know more about it than the educator. i have been keeping up to date because my nephew has infantile/childhood diabetes.

1:23 am

sprite

(((((((rose)))))))

1:24 am

grannyrose

i am so not gonna go. i will make the appointment....but i ain't gonna show up. you know the adage...you can lead a horse to water.....

1:26 am

sprite

breathe, sweetie. And relax. Of course you will show. Just listen with an open heart and mind. You might be surprised. And even if not, you will at least have made the effort. Goooooo with the flowwwww.... :D

1:26 am

grannyrose

*giggle* if i get bored, i'll just pull out my book and start reading...

1:28 am

sprite

if you lose weight after the surgery, your bloodsugar levels will go way down. You will be free of symptoms for years to come. But please take it seriously, okay? Diabetes is very treatable, but untreated, it will kill. After making life very very miserable.

1:33 am

sprite

it is gonna be a scorcher here today. Most of the week, actually. Imagine, Rose, 38 celcius in this humid land?

1:34 am

grannyrose

ugh.... i am thinking of buying you an air dehumidifier. at least it would be bearable in the caravan.

1:36 am

sprite

nah silly, where would we keep it? :D

1:36 am

grannyrose

can Rob rig a tarpaulin over the top of the caravan? or maybe a slow-drip hose trickling cool water over the roof?

1:36 am

sprite

and remember, days like these are rare here.

1:36 am

sprite

might be an idea, re. tarp. Maybe tomorrow. He is off to work already now.

1:38 am

grannyrose

i remember one summer, when there were bush fires all around us, i climbed onto the roof of our house and ran a soaker hose right along the ridge. it dropped the temp inside the whole house by nearly 20 degrees.

1:38 am

sprite

oh I bet. Nothing cools as good as water.

1:42 am

grannyrose

okay, maybe something to consider.

1:43 am

sprite

will suggest it to Rob. We'll see.

1:44 am
