Getting ready
So I went to the doctor today... A follow up from last week. Basically she said I am fat and I need to lose weight. Really? I had NO idea!!! She said I am a tiny person in a very large body. So She put me on a strict diet and I have to come in every 2 weeks to weigh in... accountability, yuck! No food. None. Just water. If it is solid I can't read through it, I cannot have it. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it might as well be. I can have only things that "God put on the earth in it's natural form." Raw meat? No... Lot of fruit and veggies, NO bread at all. She said that is like poison to me, the diabetic. It turns right into sugar. No sugar-substitutes. This is ridiculous. Anyway, I just went to the grocery store and bought tons of things that I can't eat that are in boxes and cans because of the storm coming in case the power goes out. You know, crackers, ravioli, beans, etc. So I guess if the hurricane comes my "diet" will be shot. But I can only do what I can do when I can do it. In case you are wondering, if UL closes we will be going to TN to Justin's brother's house. They are very close, so... if may just happen. I went to the store today and it was a madhouse! We are stocked up on water though, and we have 4 big, huge flashlights... And like I said, we are stocked up on food. So if we do stay we should be ok. I may go into a coma from all the carbs, but I will be alive. Hilton went back to school today. He is doing much better. Lorelai has started coughing though, so I am worried about her. And all the doctors offices are closing around here to prepare for the storm so who knows when we will get in to see him. But we will keep her safe and dry... don't worry, Grandma! OK/ So that is it for now. I have to go pick up my medications so I am stocked up for the storm. And get our 72 hour kits out and ready to go. So here we go!

This doctor sounds right on the money. I am especially impressed with her advice not to consume sugar substitutes. Very smart. I am thinking of going to her so she can lower the boom on me!
We'll keep you and your lil' family in our prayers.
Well, first of all, I hope you guys are safe down there. You could come up to CT where not much happens at all and hang out with us for awhile. And I could cook you up lots of carbs or you could join Mark on his no-carb diet and loose lots of weight like he did and then gain it all back like he practically has and then decide there's got to be a better way than starving yourself. I don't know what that is, but I get so frustrated with doctors and diets and diabetes. Starving yourself isn't going to fix anything. Poor JL. I think of you often. You're having such a rough patch lately. Whatever happens, you'll be in my prayers and in my heart. Good luck with everything.
