Today was a day for doctors. I had two appointments and mom had one. It was IT Friday for me (half day off … once a month for three months in the summer) so I added a half day vacation to the mix and took the whole day off. Saw my surgeon at 9 a.m. Maggie came with me as we were heading over to Mom’s from there.

She put some silver on my wound to help heal it a bit more. It gets a bit oozy after a shower and has “leaked” a bit. See me in a month.

Had a good visit with my primary care doc …. I love him. If I didn’t, I would change to mom’s doctor. She is a gem and I love her, too. Dr. V is happy with my numbers but did say we could work on getting them (especially my fasting) a bit lower. I am upping the dose of Metformin I take to 1000 in the morning and staying with the 500 mg evening dose. He gave me a script for Januvia as well as something for the neuropathy in my toes. Thankfully, my feet are 100 times better than they were before my diagnosis but still tingle and hurt, especially at night. Will have an A1C taken soon as well. Just need to head to the lab.  I am shooting for lower than 6 and thinking it will be around 5.6 but won’t complain if it is a bit lower.
