home finally

Posted 09-25-2008 at 02:02 PM by Telecia (Telecia's Journal)

I am sorta glad to be home. 14 days in the hospital I was dying to get home now I am wondering if it was wise to come home now.
Ok to fill you in on the whats and whys. I went in on sept 5th for my second heart cath. And to have 2 more stints inserted. That part went fine. But somewhere in the recovery of that things went all wrong, and I started bleeding internally.

diabetes class

Posted 08-04-2008 at 04:42 PM by Telecia (Telecia's Journal)

Went to my first diabetes class today, actually a more of a get to know you kind of thing, Spent an hour answering question etc. One of my big problems which the lady pointed out to me is I don't do breakfasts. Well I do in a way 4-5 hours later!! LOL.
So I need to eat no later then 1 1/2 hour after waking. She said this is one reason my blood sugars are fluctuating wildly. Its not so much what I eat cause she said Im making great choices. But how often so I need to start eating more often....

Breaking my addiction. (Smoking)

Posted 07-04-2008 at 05:55 PM by Telecia (Telecia's Journal)

Well I made it through my first day as a NON Smoker. Actually yesterday was pretty easy its this morning that is rough. LOL. My normal morning routine is a huge 32oz mug of coffee and of course a few cigarettes. I got sugar free gum, mints, cough drops, and a jar of menthol rub to inhale from to help with the menthol part of my addiction. So far sitting here drinking coffee and sitting in bed gaming with marv has been my 2 times that I really start feeling it.

Other things, one tire...

Cardioligist says

We sat for a extra hour while the...
