I love that guy. He is such a good cook. Speaking of blood vessels, recently I got a call from my rheumatologist's office (actually, it was right before I went off on vacation) saying my urine had a little bit of sugar in it, and would I please refrain from eating anything with sugar and when I got back from vacation please come in for more tests? So I obeyed, and was given a form for a fasting blood sugar, take it after fasting for 12-14 hours, and it's like, no WAY, man. Ma'am, actually. There is no way on earth that I can voluntarily go for 12-14 hours without eating anything, and the reason, primarily, is coffee. If I don't have coffee when I wake up, I simply cannot function. I couldn't even drive to the lab for the test. Not and be safe. So Chris was supposed to get me up this morning and take me for the test, letting him drive so I wouldn't have to function other than walk, but he forgot and brought me the usual, a LARGE (16 oz) cup of cafe au lait. So there goes the blood test for another week. So I went to Costco, and bought a blood test meter. Those things are relatively cheap now, another miracle of modern pharmacology, I got the meter for free when I bought a box of the test strips. $58 dollars for a hundred test strips. Usually the meter is about $50. Anyway, I had supper, and waited for two hours to take the post-prandial test, and it was 127, which is way normal. 145 is the upper limit of normal. So I feel relieved. You pharmacology guys are geniuses, did I ever tell you that?
