Cole good news on Monday and Tuesday.. Monday the doctor told him his eye's were looking good and scheduled Right eye laser on June the 5th. Sorry Laura I told you the 4th..He also told Cole not to wear contacts after everything is done unless its just for a short period of time , no more sleeping in them.. Cole did not like that he hates wearing glasses.. That fact really cracks me up since it took me till his sophmore year to convince him to wear contacts. On Tuesday his blood work came back and his sugar level was normal, so they want to run two more blood test on him. One is a prediabetes test and the other is a hemoglobin test.. On June the 11th.. I still need to google hemoglobin cause I have no idea what that is..I asked Cole why they just didn't do it yesterday and he said they had to send off for the test stuff.. So yep I'm clueless why that is..Anyway his first lab work showed that he does not have diabetes.. So I'm pleased with that.. So if he doesn't have diabetes then what caused his eyes to do what they are doing , I have a theory on that let me explain.. When Cole first started at Thorps he never wore safety glasses. He would come home at night and his eyes would be blood shot from all the dirt and wind, but he would not take out his contacts.. We would hound him and hound him about taking out his contacts.. Sometimes he would go a whole month without taking them out.. He used to have problems putting them in that is why he didn't like taking them out.. months after he started working is when he started seeing things in his eyes.. We told him we thought it was the dirt that scratched eyes, that he needed to wear safety glasses and for God sakes take out his contacts and go see an eye doctor.. Well being the procrasternator that he is he didn't listen to us.. Well after what the doctor told him on Monday how contacts are really bad for your eyes because they don't let your eyes breathe and the fact that now his eyes were growing new blood vessels because the others were bleeding I think Cole damaged his own eyes by not being responsible with his contacts.. And as for the other two symptoms that Cole has that can be explained too.. He said he is always hungry and that he pee's alot.. Well for one he is a 19 year old boy working outside hard labor of course he is hungry.. For the peeing a lot well working outside makes you thirsty so you drink more.. Hell I sit at home and I pee every hour or so just from the water I drink.. Its just with his blood work coming back normal I'm believing that Cole is a healthy 19 yro boy.. His eyes are on there way to getting fixed and he has learned his lesson about his contacts. So in the future this won't happen again..Thank you God !!
Now moving on. I'm in a funk I haven't exercised at all this week and boy can I tell.. I really hate Jeff's hours. I can't wait till he goes to GoPetro so he will be up and out during the day..
He really hurt my feelings yesterday and I want to blog about it so bad but I'm really embarrased so I will just keep it all bottled up inside for now and explode later...Haa
Is that app really helping you guys stay on track? I am so frustrated with my weight I'm thinking about checking into Weight Watchers.. My cousin's wife is doing the program and she is losing. I want to talk to her first and see if maybe she can just give me all the pointers without me actually joining , but I don't know how that works.. I also need to go buy salad stuff I haven't had a good salad in forever..
Hope everyone has a great day..
The app is my fitness pal. Text me your screen name and I'll add you. And yes I think it helps. Last night I wanted a burger. Bad, Pms. So I logged on and it said that both Tia and lacy worked out for like 2 hours, man was I pissed. I only walked. So I didn't eat again. It's part motivational part competition. But it keeps you honest because you can let everyone see your food diary, it's in the settings. So we can all see what each of us is eating and what we are working out as well. It does do weight to but you do not have to add that in. I weigh every morning. That is how I stay motivated. If I'm down I'm pleased if I'm up I know I need to not do what I did the day before. As for Cole I'm withi you in thinking this is more just an eye issue that got so bad they thought it must be from something else too. I had the swollen blood vessels in my eyes because I have been wearing contacts for 4646 years. Hopefully the rest of his tests will be negative as well and he will learn to take better care of his eyes.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about cole. That app definitely helps me. It is embarrassing to put you ate a bag of chips. If laura and lacy can work out then I can too so inget up and do it. Plus I try hard to stay under the calorie count. I set mine at 1000 a day.
