Rating: Oops, I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine yesterday. I'd expect the majority of the weight difference between yesterday and today is water weight. I've taken my medicine today, and after visiting the men's room a few times today due to that, I'll probably be back around 370 tomorrow.

I Lose

When we got back from Thanksgiving, there was a message on the answering machine from my doctor, with whom I'd had an appointment the day before Thanksgiving. He hadn't ever received my blood tests from back in March after my last appointment, and when I told him that at this appointment, he said he would get them.

The phone message said that I had more serious problems and that I needed to come in and see him again. We set up an appointment for this coming Monday. Well, my wife just told me that he called again today all upset that he hadn't heard back from me. Here's the essence of the conversation.

[Wife]

You have diabetes

[Me]

I do?

[Wife]

yes

[Me]

Did you talk to (the doctor)?

[Wife]

He just called upset that he hadn't heard from you yet

He said that you have diabetes that we can't ignore

we cannot wait for you to lose the weight, even though that will probably correct it

[Me]

Did you tell him that we've got an appointment?

[Wife]

He's glad you're coming in on Monday and wants me to pound into you how important this is

So, as of March, I have diabetes. Fun how I got to save finding out about it for a Christmas gift!
