Dear Diary:

1. I have no patience. But, today I decided to be good and not call my surgeons admin. asst., and wait for her to phone me. On monday, she said Dr. B would review her files (mine included) and she'd call me with a date on Wednesday.

Now, whether it's a surgery date or another preop visit to set the surgery date, I'm not sure. Today's Wednesday and I've been here all day - and she didn't call.

2. When I'd originally seen my surgeon on 5/31 - she told me that she wouldn't do my surgery unless I quit smoking. So I did, nearly two weeks ago. I'd been on chantix already, the only thing i added was the patch. I'm so thrilled to be having the surgery that kicking the habit hasn't been all that bad. My fiance quit with me, too.

3. My fiance had a Dr.'s visit last friday, so i went with him. And since Dr. M. is my pcp also, he pulled out my last bloodwork results which showed an elevated level. The two prior, had shown I was pre-diabetic so he gave me another form and asked me to go have my bloodwork done. I went on Monday.

Well my surgeon's office didn't call, but my pcp Dr. M. did and started off with, "I have some bad news for you. You are now DIABETIC." I have to go into his office on Tuesday for an office visit and to get a script. I need this like I need warts.

I think I've gained about 10 lbs. since the 31st of May, but I kind of attributed it to:

a.) deciding I should have a "last supper," at every meal and snack, because soon I wouldn't be able to.

b.) quitting smoking.

I never thought It could be an increased appetite because of the diabetes. But that sure does explain the lethargy I've been feeling.

:faint:

Not to worry -- I've had worse days.
