Being a diabetic has taught me that nothing is certain in life and that life is full of ups and downs, sometimes ups and downs that you can't control. There have been a few ups and downs in my life recently, some more significant than others. So, I figured I would write about them.
As for the ups. I have increased my close friend circle a great deal. I have found out who my true friends are. I had an awesome doctor appointment today. It was my first checkup after the surgery. He took me off crutches and told me I can start therapy. I can start bending it in therapy. I got a cool x-ray of the screws in my leg. The doctor said he is very pleased with how my progress is compared to the major work I had done and the incisions look great.
As for the downs. I am slowly losing my best friend and boyfriend, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Because of the stress from this I have lost weight, fast, which is not good. I have been crying a lot, which is not fun. I did have to have surgery, so that is a down, even if everything is going well. I did not get the job at the library I applied for, so I must again start looking for jobs. I am in a lot of pain, but it is getting better.
I am sure there are more ups and downs, but I am going to leave it at that. As for the ups and downs of diabetes, I have those too. My blood sugar was doing awesome, but now all of a sudden it is all over the place. Well, that's all.

I am really sorry to hear so much seems to be going wrong in your life. Hang in there... One thing I have learned from diabetes is that things come and go.. And you adapt in the end. That probably doesn't sound so great (and you probably already knew that, anyhow) but in the end... I've found it to be comforting.
