winterbadgerGood news from the quack.
I did a blood & urine test the last time I went in to the doctor, which I just remembered this afternoon and called for the results from the recorded voicemessage system. My A1C is down from 7.1 to 6.8, the trace amount of protein that was showing up in my urine (suggesting my kidneys were under a little strain) is gone, and the electrolyte and kidney function factors in my blood were good. "Not where we're satisfied, but good progress," was my doc's comment.
In other news, the Teacher and I had an impromptu Derby party yesterday, which went very well. We had some of her friends and some of my friends, and heaps of very Kentuckyish food were made and eaten (with gusto), conversations were had, horses raced, and mint juleps were drunk.
Today we went out and had a very late brunch (partly because we slept late and partly because it was Mother's Day, so it took an hour to get a table). It was a lovely day, so we hung out. I had started reading her part of Winnie the Pooh earlier, so she got The Graveyard Book at Borders and read me part of a chapter. We tried to pick up her new bike and to get me a haircut, but all the shops were closed. We went to two open houses on the way home, deciding we didn't like the 5 (or was it 6?) bedroom colonial (nice house, but way too big for us) but that we really liked the early-20th century Sears Craftsman house we saw later.
She's working on lesson plans. I'm typing this entry :-) and may then have a short nap (!) or read until it's time for dinner.
A nice weekend, on the whole. :-)
