This week was short and work wise it felt short but at home, the days seemed long, like I was accomplishing nothing. But the only thing I did manage to do was to write my flash fic for Chuck Wendig's challenge that hopefully someone somewhere will read it. It's lesbian, sort of (it's girl meets girl but leaves off with the promise of a relationship). You can find it here When They Called Her Home and even if you don't read it, can you try to open it to see if it WILL open?

Because today I met with a friend and he put me in charge of my own website (as he's now working for wordpress and can't profit from doing web design on their site or something along those lines). He had to migrate everything over to me and after 2 hours of diddling around with all of this, I'm not sure it's entirely right so if you can, let me know if it at least opens. THANKS.

Yesterday I saw my endocrinologist or at least his nurse practitioner who at least listens better than he ever did. She answered my question about those Inovakana 'bad drug' commercials. I couldn't figure out why it would cause increased amputations as the action is strictly kidney based (I mean I KNOW why it's probably damaging the fuck out of my kidneys). It's because it's dehydrating and people don't listen to doctor's orders and DRINK so they pass out, break bones in the fall and diabetics don't heal well, especially the elderly so they end up with amputations.

Anyhow she wants me to try trulicity which is a once a week injectible and to stop the invokana. I've had problems with other drugs in this class. On the other hand, it's been SO successful in lowering sugars that medicaid put it on its formulary which is highly unusual due it's high cost but it's so good at it, that it lowers sugar so well, other meds can be dropped AND other issues don't happen so fast (like retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) that it's considered worth the cost.

So my choices are kidney damage from the invokana or thyroid cancer from trulicity. Whee.

And once again I've forgotten those dragon sites.
