Dealing

Well I’ve know about my Diabetes for about 4 days now. I’m kind of in denial right now. “Maybe the doctor got it wrong. Maybe my blood sugar was just fluky high. Maybe I’m just fine and I can go eat a big ice cream cone from Ben and Jerry’s. The symptoms that caused me to go to the doctor in the first place are all gone now anyway.”

But then I come back to reality and realize that this probably isn’t the case. And it is really horrible, and I’m very weak and dizzy lately. And I can’t eat a bunch of the food that I want to.

Most importantly, Wednesday can’t get here fast enough.

    I guess it’s been about 4 months since I’ve last read your blog, so I had a lot to catch up on. I’m very saddened to hear about your health – I hope you take care of yourself. Taking your age, weight and diet into account, I’d be a bit surprised if you had type II diabetes, but then I’m a bit confused how you would have lived so well if you had type I. Regardless, hope you’re dealing with the shots a-ok.

    And one off-topic comment, I feel very sad that you have acquired such a negative view of Christians, and I really hope that I’ve not added to that view, though we never did discuss the “hard” issues. When I read your blog, sometimes I wish we had.
