The good bad & the ugly (pancreas issues)

For those that know what I've been through with my health
here's something that I keep on my mind every single day.
I worry about what my health is doing since I've been home
& now I worry about everything that I feel or deal with like
when I get the D word (runs) or when I get a pain in my side.
I try to stay on top of the foods I eat at home or when I'm
out with the husband paying bills, & wants to eat out at
some fast food place KNOWING I can't have any of it.
I know fast foods aren't good for me I know I have to be
careful what I eat, I know my health will probably never
be the same as I was B-4 I got sick, I know I may also
never get off the meds I'm on which really sucks.
I've been taking notes about the good bad & the ugly
about how bad this can get if I'm not careful everyday
I know I have to take my meds & insulin without fail.
Is there something I DON'T KNOW? maybe or maybe
not, but the 1 thing I do know is this is nothing to play
with, but I also know I'm not going to let it take me down.
I know I'm not the only 1 that is dealing with this, so for
those that are in the same boat with this health issue
don't feel like you have to settle for less in life, I know
what your having to deal with & it's a constant fear.
If you have anything you would like to know on this, you
can do like I'm doing & do a lot of research on what you
can & can't eat & take all the notes you can on the matter.
When I get back in the cabin I'm going to make me a food
list to follow at home & a food list of the foods to buy &
keep on hand everyday along with a meal list I will eat.
If you have anything to add to this I'm open to suggestions
cause like I said I don't know it all & if you do something
different I don't know about maybe we can help each other.

@2ndchances24 Oh my! I cannot understand why you cannot get Medicaid, that is not good.

@LadyDuck that's what I'm saying, but when it comes to the
govt they could care less when your not the "right type of
person" they want to just hand out everything on a silver
platter, ?? where we have to struggle to get the help we need.

@2ndchances24 I know, believe me that it's not very different in the other countries. You are only good for them if you pay taxes, but they give very little to you.

@2ndchances24 Hope you can find a way to deal with it. My mother has been pre-diabetic for over 10 years and has managed to maintain normal insulin levels through diet and exercise.

with what I got till I can get in my cabin where
I am more relaxed & feel more at home again.

I don't think there's a person on this earth that
doesn't have a health issue of some sort or another.
It's how they determine how to get through it all
to either get better or live with it till their last days.

@2ndchances24 The battle is not over until the last bomb goes off. And you never stop fighting until it does.

I'm trying to get through this the best way I know how
but I feel like it's going to be a losing battle, but I'm not
going to give up even if it's a losing battle.

What you can do is maintain a journal, if you're not doing that already. For not eating the food you've had your eyes upon, write down your thoughts. The pouring out might make it less demanding. It is something that I too need to do as I have realized that punishing the body by making it sick, is a sin.

I started that the 1st few wks I got home &
yes it does help, cause it gives me something
read on how well my progress has gone since
I got home, I'll make another 1 when I get in
the cabin where I have a journal of what I've
learned & what it takes to stay on top of this.

@apsmine9 that I don't know about but yes it would
be smart to pay more atten on what you eat now days.

@2ndchances24 I have been seeing posts and videos popping up about how food is deliberately being contaminated, adulterated, making it less suitable for consumption. As if as a reminder that I should be more conscious.

I'm trying to do my best, but when I get stressed
it just makes things worse for me to get better.

I hope so, but I feel like I should be doing more
but for some reason it feels like more isn't enough.
