The good and the bad

the good is the cat shelter just called me and they'll take momma and babies. Wish me luck in capturing them. The kittens are skittish but they will allow you to handle them. I had the girl eating out of my hand today but the boy would just sit there and lick my fingers. Momma is a greedy guts. I'll need to get up early on friday to round them up and take them down. Sigh.

The bad...I've not been reporting on how sick I've been. Let's just say in the last three weeks my sugar has spun out of control like it's never been and my weight (stable for over a decade in spite of exercise and diet) suddenly shot up in two weeks without explanation. I had blood work today all of which was normal except the diabetes and luckily my doctor had time to deal with me today. We had a long talk and I didn't realize that you could get these 'sinus' headaches from sleep apnea. Now I know I stop breathing when I sleep but it is getting worse (mostly because I'm fat). Well my inability to lose weight, the diabetes and the headaches might ALL be part of this. So i'm being set up with a sleep specialists. She took one look at my leg and the varicose vein and said go to Columbus then said wait, no we might have someone here to do that. So not only did I have a doctor's appt every week for four weeks we just added at least two more visits.

The only thing is if I have sleep apnea I'll need to have a machine at night. Mom (who also has it) can't bear the machine. My cousin (see a trend in my family) loves her machine. The only problem is, if I need it and want to travel. And really is there anything sexier than being hooked to a machine to help you breathe...
