I can walk again! I can sit again! I can stand again! I am so inexpressibly joyous that the blasted contrast dye is finally out of my hip joint. Ok, so it still hurts, but back to a reasonable baseline pain.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

This tech rehearsal feels like a scene out of a Marx Brothers movie.

Geez, erin, that sounds kind of awful. Boo pain!
I hope that the Marx Brothers part is not affecting you, ND--that it's more of the "hah, look at the ridiculousness" and not "OMG what are you people doing?"
I made a super easy shirt today. But it's not quite finished. I had to go buy more stuff, and then I got home and had to go to the gym, and then to eat. Now, though...now I will....uh, take a shower. And THEN I will finish it! ...good thing I didn't have any actual Saturday night plans or anything. Sigh.

Something really weird is going on with my blood sugar. At first glance seems good weird but ....
OK for a long time was a non-insulin dependent diabetic. The blood sugar went out of control so PCP put we on insulin. I did the increase-a-unit-at-a-time-until-you-reach-goal thing. Turned out that 50 units stablized me well - for about three days. But then one morning my fasting blood sugar was 56, which was dangerously low. That was after my evening blood sugar had been 209 which is not great. Since then I've been maintaining goal with NO insulin. My evening blood sugar was 126, and even without insulin I use a snack to raise to 140 to avoid a crash tomorrow morning. Going to talk with my doctor. But going from needing 50 units of lantus to needing zero is weird. No change in lifestyle. Same exercise and moderate carb diet I've had for years. The only change is my breakfast salad switched from spinach+chicken breast to kale+chicken breas salad cause kale was on sale. (I use homemade sweet dressing, so salad for breakfast is moderate, not low carb)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm glad your hip's better, Erin.
Typo, that is weird. Maybe kale really is the wonder food advertisers claim.

That's great, Typo. When I dropped my cholesterol 100 points my doctor's advice was, "whatever you are doing, keep doing it."

All is well that ends in pizza.
When I cut back on butter and eggs, my cholesterol goes up.

I didn't take anything away, just consciously added oatmeal and cinnamon. Also more fish, nuts, olive oil, but not to any great extent. I added oatmeal pretty much every day.
