Yea, I really can’t win…

SUGAR!!!!

I put about 2 tsp of sugar in my coffee and our cups hold 2 cups of coffee, we do like our French Roast from Sams club…

Now I been up since 4:30 and had my first cup by 5AM and 2nd cup before 7…

Here within the last hour, I have had double vision… and I have asked eye doctors for decades and they could never find anything that would cause it, except the stigmatism was there and the parasite near my cornea in one eye and the mole on the other eye… That’s all they ever found, till the cataracts showed up…

I have had those sugar issues forever… Too much and I get the jitters too little land I get the jitters… Enough to screw things, I am up and down all night hitting that lovely porcelan throne… SUGAR!!!

I don’t like black coffee!!!! SUGAR!!!

Now if the double vision doesn’t hit the rest of the day, then it doesn’t take long to be pissed away and yea, we are friendly that throne and I…

That’s the last puzzle piece on the diet, the sugar…

The fat will cause the loose bowels and the sugar will have me up and seeing how much the bladder can’t hold through the night and the sugar, I knew that for years… The fat, not a clue…

So when the VA in Arkansas had me see a dietician, they got it right and wrong… I went out of my way to cut sugar, but was very lazy about it and I paid for that lazy behavior…

The fat, well, I cut back on it decades ago and thought, with Homer’s blood work always so good most the time, I was doing okay by us… WRONG!!! I was screwing myself…

Tomorrow when we go get Homer’s blood rechecked to see if I got his potassium back to normal numbers, asking the NP to refer us to see a Renal Dietician, so I don’t put Homer’s life at risk again… He has been in an out of stage 3 Kidney failure off an on for a few years now…

Then I can adapt my diet to his and from what I read, I need a dietician that knows what is what and me not googling every meal…

That was my light bulb moment…

Between the sugar and the fat, I expect my health to continue to improve in ways I can only dream about, example… one of the rings I bought in Japan in 1984, I never wear, it always got tangled in my hair if my hand was near my head… and it was a cluster of Japanese pearls… So… I sold the setting and the jeweler is removing the pearls for me to use, in other jewelery when I can afford it… But, before I sold it Friday, I tried the ring on my ring finger, which I haven’t been able to slide it on in 32 years and it slide on like it was oiled…. and it was loose and I haven’t lost weight… INFLAMMATION!!!!

The Inflammation in my body is already down since changing our diet after the ER visit in October and other than Homer having to much potassium both our blood draws were stellar and my triglicerides were only 110 and my cholesterol was normal… and I was off the statin…

Yea, inflammation impacts us that much and if it is showing on me, then chances are it is impacting Homer’s brain and his dementia… and only time will tell and we see Neuro in Feb… I expect more changes in him…

That’s all I got… My back is letting me know the pancreas isn’t happy about the sugar in my coffee and I will be cutting the amount back and if I have too, I’ll give up coffee… Tomorrow, another try at less is more…

I remember…
