more good stuff
Ok, first great news:
My doctor has labeled me the new poster child for miraculous turn around. My A1C index ( a test that indicates your 3 month average of blood sugar/insulin, etc) has gone from 11.2 back in December to 6.4. A normal person is 4 to 6, with 6.5 being a little high but not diabetic yet.
In other words, I have made a near recovery to normal levels. Its possible that down the road, I might get back off of the medications & will likely NEVER need insulin, or have the heart related troubles or circulation problems that diabetics fear. The theory is that I experienced a pancreatic stunning ( the pancreas got stunned & lost control of the insulin production)
My bad cholesterol (ldl) is down, but not quite to what is preferred, so the Doc is doubling my anti-cholesterol medication dosage.
Weight loss has slowed down, but I have scheduled to meet with a Nutritionist with the end aim of losing weight. Once the Kidney stone fragments pass, I can get back into an exercise regime as well.
We had a meeting with our contract company Mgr( the ones that pay us, and we technically work for). He informed us that JDSU is happy with our work, but it will be at least August before they can make a hire offer. In the meantime, we are all eligible for benefits, so by next month, I should have medical/dental/vision, 401k, etc. Given that, I am quite content. :)
I went to the Loreena McKennit concert for her new album "AN Ancient Muse". It was one of the best concerts Ive ever been to. No flashy props & videos, genuine performance from the heart, and just as good in person as on album. Its inspired me to get back into performance again, and take action on wanting to learn Harp (Dusty Strings in Fremont is gonna love me). LOL
I also was involved with the Landmark Forum ( first of the curriculum) again, this time assisting. It was an amazing experience, and I got even more into things about me. I took a stand for my health, and its already making a difference. I also had a situation where I got attracted to a fellow helper, but got kind of weird in the head about it ( wondering if she was interested or not, flip flopping on emotions, building a whole story about her being interested or not). But, I caught it before it dug into my behavior around her & got some coaching on it. What came out of that is that I haven't loved myself & was also Looking for a relationship instead of just focusing on being happy. The result of that was in both relationships & dating, there would be a dichotomy of subtle messages- either "You Shouldn't love me, I Sure Don't" or " Please Love me; , because I don't". Going for a goal like geting into a relationship usually doesn't work well either. Its that whole mentality of going after something to make yourself complete & whole. But, i totally get this now, and am committed to being loving ( of myself, and of others).
Have a great week, all.
