Eye See!

Although I am sporadic these days with my visits - I really want to be back here, blogging away.  My work schedule has changed, therefore, affording me a little more time to keep up on things.

It's nap time here for my boy, so I thought I would pop in and give a quick update about today.

I am off to the eye doctor.  Yet, another unscheduled visit for me.  For the last 6 weeks or so, I have this little dot 'following' me around.  It's in my right eye. Well, it's like a dot with a line attached to it.   It's there when I read, when I drive, and if I really pay attention to it, you can find me crossing my eyes chasing it around!

So, I mentioned it to my Endocrinologist on my most recent appointment.  She suggested going to get it checked out to be on the safe side.  Am I nervous?  Heck, yeah.  But, I have to stay on top of this stuff.  The not knowing would kill me more, I suppose.  While I was pregnant, I did suffer some slight hemorrhaging in the back of my eye due to the extra blood supply in my body, but that later healed itself.  So, we will have to see what today will bring.

In the meantime, it's onward with the Diabetes Management.  My latest HbA1C is back up from that 7.7% mark to 8.2% once again.  Disappointing yes, but I have stopped beating myself up over that one.  The blood work was taken just days after Christmas holidays.  What did I expect? ha ha

Well, I am off to get ready.  I am hoping and praying it's nothing.  But if it is, I guess I will just have to deal with it.

Keeping my chin up, one day at a time!
