Lots of stuff

Today will be a better day. I will be much happier today!!! I will make myself. I went to the doctor yesterday and he checked my hemoglobin levels and they are pretty good. This is really not that good. Because apparently there is a medication that I need which are injections. It is extremely expensive and my insurance won't pay for it unless my hemoglobin is a certain level and it is right on the boarder. Apparently they are very strict about it. So he gave me another medication to try and he said to exercise a lot. But my glucose levels have not been too bad so he is pleased about that. One good thing about this recent diabetes diagnosis is that now I know! Now I know why I have felt yucky all of these years. I can recognize when my blood sugar drops or spikes because of my symptoms. Like right now I am shaking so badly I can hardly type, I need some orange juice. Okay, better. So that is cool that I know what my problem is. All this time I just thought it was something I had to live with. It never occured to me that it might be an actual illness! Tonight is my book club! I am excited. We read a book this month called, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It is a sort of mystery but not really. What it is, is a book written from the perspective of a teenage boy with autism. He feels like what he is writing is a mystery novel. It is so interesting and intriguing. I can't wait to talk about it. My best friend, Vicki has an almost 3 year old son with autism. They found out shortly before we left Louisiana last summer. She has been so great about taking this challenge and just dealing with it. I never hear her complain. So I sometimes forget how difficult it must be. She has so much faith. I am amazed at her strength. This month is Autism Awareness Month. Be aware that it is out there. If you know someone with a child with Autism be sensitive. They are not bad parents. The children are not undisciplined. If you work with an Autistic child in your primary or nursery be sensitive to the parents. Yes, it may be difficult for you for a whole 2 hours a week. But the parents have to deal with it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This may be the only opportunity they have for peace in their hectic lives. One more cute thing. Yesterday I was getting Hilton out of the car. He was fake sleeping. I said, "Hilton, are you sleeping?" To which he replied by fake snoring. It was hilarious and totally made my day. He has also been fake sneezing a lot too. AAHH, AAHH, AAACHOOO!!! People in WalMart also find this quite amusing, people in sacrament meeting, not so much.
