Zatarain's Dirty Rice is quite nice but it helped really jack my blood sugar up due to

I forgot to take my morning pills and

I went to the Village 8 Theater in Dodge City to see "Underworld"; their web site said the movie would start at 1:50. I sat down in the theater about 1: 38 and started wsaiting. I checked my cell phone clock and saw it was 1:58 and still not movie (but lots of insipit ads that were getting worst with each repetition). At 2:08, I went to the front desk and said "the movie was suppoed to start at 1:50". The kid behind the desk ran off to start the projedtor. About 2:10, another teenager came to ask "did you get the time from the website, sir?" "Yes." "The movie is supposed to start at 2:25. You can walk around the mall if you want?" "No, thanks, I'll just5 wait here." I made a remark about their insipic which "sucked incredibly". The kid wsas shocked (I suppose he doesn't actually watch his theater's ads...)

by the time I started watching the movie, the cheese dip was quite cold...

Dinner: At the Mexican place in the local mall, two items that were basically hamberger, refried beans and "Mexican" rice. I drank water with this dinner. After I got home, I took my evening pills and nearly gagged before I got them down. I could tell my stomach was upset...

Pre-Bed Snack: gin-n-tonic

I had a fine and serious case of post bedtime barfing. It started with having trouble getting my evening pills down (although the gin-n-tonic went down well). After going back to bed, I kept coughing and this really upset my wife (a light sleeper who snores). I finally got up, took a couple MucinexDM (for the post nazal drip) and a couple of Tums for the stomach and went back to bed after a while.

I lost track of my recordings and those in green are the only records I bothered with.

Being diabetic, I have to keep track of what I eat. (I haven't done a good job of maintaining this blog for most of this year...)

I should also keep track of how much I urinate after going to bed; this is an indication of how poorly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hence ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload" (units are in hours).

"v" is for vomiting. I've had the diabetic stomach problems and sometimes wonder if it is the food I've eaten or damaged nerves. A trait of diabetes (or so I'm told) is nerve damage that leads to poor emptying of the stomach into the intestines...

I know this is terribly self-involved but if I don't fret over this, who will?

About two hours before bedtime, I felt the familiar signs of "I'm-going-to-vomit-an-hour-after-going-to-bed". So, I waited till my wife walked our dog and induced the vomiting. After spuewing the usual discoloured liquids, I felt much better. I still chugged some "Pink" (Pepto Bismol).

Snack: I had a couple of meatballs and a bannana.

Lunch: Container of strawberry yogurt, an orange and (at home) a tuna samwhich on a slide of sour doubh bread and a can of DP.

Dinner: Stewed chopped up pork chop, slightly undercooked stewed (sliced) potatoe and too much sour krat; I drank water with dinner. This combination lead to a blood sugar reading 3! points lower than when I got up this morning!

NOT FOR MY WIFE'S EYES

There was a bit of a problem with boiling the pork chop.

I had worked the 4 am to noon shift and was very tired. So, after I put the pork chops on hot, to bring the water to a boil for a few minutes, I sat down by the computer and zoned out. I completely forgot the boiling water, which I had planned on reducing to a simmer after a few minutes.

I didn't remember them until the house was filled with dense smoke and the smoke detector went off. I checked the pork chops and the b ottoms werew burnt black, while the top was seriously overcooked.

The important thing is the house was filled with smoke and it was November. The gboog think is that it was a nice day and I opened the window in the main bedroom; both my cats went up onto it. I then turned the fans on in both bathrooms and over the stove. I also opened both the front and back doors and started wasiting for the house to air out.

It took almost three hours before the house stopped smelling like smoke. I waited a bit longer and then shut the windows, the doors and turned the fans off.

When Kathie got home, she mentioned how smoky the house was. I didn't have the nerve to tell her what happened...

13 November 2008

Breakfast: Burger King for their SOS, potatoe thingies and a can of DP.

Snack: A cup of coffee...

Lunch: I went to the Jetmore Lions Club and had salad with cottage cheese and thousand island dressing, roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, a roll with butter and water.

Snack: Sadly enuf, I had the munchies (or at least a craving for sweets) and had a small Diary Queen ice creamme cone dipped in choclate. This coast me $2.18! Two dollars and eighteen cents for a fucking ice creamme cone and a small one at that! I can see what this "Dairy Queen" never has many customers; they've priced themselves out of the market even if they are the only decent ice creamme place in town!

Dinner: Boneless chicken boiled in water and some wine, a small baked potatoe, boiled cabbage and after dinner a singel "Little Debbie" sugar coated donut.

I used to be a Navy Drug and Alcohol Drug Advisor and know drugs, alcohol and Navy programmes (in the 1980s).

12 November 2008

Breakfast: 1 slice of sour dough bread with a largish tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 cup of oatmeal with splenda and a cup of coffee.

Pre-Bed Snack: A tablespoon of peanut butter and no alcohol...

Veterans Day

Breakfast: Two hard boiled eggs made into egg salad samwhich on a slice of whole wheat bread and an apple. I had most of a single cup of bad coffee and some water.

Snack: A single "Little Debbie" powder sugar coated donut...

Lunch: An orange, strawberry yogurt, a hard boiled egg and a can of DP.

Snack: An almost ripe bananna.

Dinner:  Plan             Reality
_________can of chicken   can of chicken
_________left over rice   left over rice
_________raw carrots      left at home...
_________1 bannana        2 almost ripe banannas
_________water            water

Snack: A bananna about two hours after starting to eat dinner...

The sad thing about working Veterans Day is that I often work it and if it is on a weekday, my wife has to work too. We are both Navy veterans and it would be nice to go to the military cemetary and watch the old vets march by and maybe join them. Still, there is hope for next year (but not much).

10 November 2008

Breakfast: cup cooked oatmeal, slice of whole wheat toast with big tablespoon peanut butter, apple and cup of coffee.

Lunch: orange, strawberry yogurt, slice of bread with peanut butter and water.

9 November 2008

Breakfast: We went out to "The Pancake House" (AKA "Vernon's Place") and I had

• four very crispy bacon strips,
• two eggs over medium,
• hash brown potatoes,
• two slices of what was supposed to be "whole wheat bread" with grape jelly,
• some ice water and
• three cups of coffee.

I'm not supposed to be eatting the potatoes or grape jelly or having any coffee let alone three cups. Oh, well, Anne (my new diabetes educator), I am cutting down as you told me to do... :)

Lunch: 1 ½ rubben samwhiches and a can of DP.

Snack: three little sugar coated donuts and at work, a frozen meatball warmed in the microwave oven with some mustard put on before I ate it.

Dinner: The left over stewed pork chops, potatoes and some additional sour krat. I drank water with this and had several miniture Oreo cookies later as I got quite the sweet tooth...

I am planning on using the meal components that Anne gave me tomorrow. This should be interesting if not fun...

8 November 2008

Breakfast: Kathie's "Big Breakfast" of scrambled eggs, well cooked bacon, Serri Lee coffee cake and a can of DP.

Lunch: Steak, baked potatoe, broccoli and a can of DP.

Dinner: Stewed pork chop, part of a boiled potatoe, lots of sour krat and water for my drink. I'm trying to serious cut back on the caffein and that is why I only had two cans of DP today and 1 ½ cups of coffee (the first before breakfast and a ½ when I got to work.

                             bottle of "Fat Tyre"  (not a bad beer but nothing I want again...)
                             Their "Mudslide" desert, which consists of:
                                  *choclate brownie
                                  *vinilla ice creamme
                                  *fudge sauce
                                  *one cherry

Well, it came with two cherries, the brownie was hard as rock, there was very little ice creamme and no Fudge syrup.

We complained and the Evening Manager took this "desert" off our bill. In the past, the Dodge City Montana Mike's typically is missing at least one ingredient of this desert. This is the first time an ingredient has been inetable!

Snack: A gin-n-tonic...

Being diabetic, I have to keep track of what I eat. (I haven't done a good job of maintaining this blog this year...)

I should also keep track of how much I pee after going to bed; this is an indication of how badly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hense ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload".

"v" is for vomiting and "s" for shit (actually diarrhea). I've had the diabetic stomach problems and sometimes wonder if it is the food I've eaten or damaged nerves. A trait of diabetes (or so I'm told) is nerve damage that leads to poor emptying of the stomach into the
intestines...

I vomited about an hour after going to bed.

Normally, this is prestaged by me coughing up globs of yellow crap and then vomiting. This time, I barely made it to the bathroom before vomiting and the coughing up of yellow crap didn't come for maybe 10 minutes afterwards. Not a goog way to end a long day! My wife was/is concerned about my health and was pissed off at me keeping her awake!

I am writing this at 2:07 pm on the 31^st and I can feel the early stages of the vomiting already.

Maybe my brother Charlie is right about me needing to see an internist and maybe my wife is right about me needing to see our family MD. However, I don't like "going to the Doctor" if I can help it...

29 October 2008

Breakfast: A "scrambled egg", sausage patty, slice of "cheddar cheese" and mustard samwhich. Afterwards, a peanut butter and reduced sugar grape jelly samwhich.

Dinner/Supper: Boiled chicken mixed with the left over rice pilof and a couple of cans of DP.

I had forgotten to take my blastedmedications with dinner (I went out to dinner) and didn't remember until almost an hour after going to bed. By that time, I would have had to eat something, brush my teeth again and this would have completely waken me and upset my wife. Besides, my dog was sleeping between my wife and I and our boy cat (Frosty) was sleeping between me and the edge of the bed. Our other cat (Kelly) was sleeping at the end of the bed between Kathie's feet and the edge of the bed. By this time it would have been too late to save me from my A1C test and I didn't really want to wake up the family...

putting in old entries

For a long, long time, I simply didn't entry my daily reports into this
blog. I decided to start by entering my missing October 2008 entries.
What a hassle! After uploading a mere five or so, I've decided to call it
quits.

It was just too boring to do!

This score is the highest it has been in a long time. So, what could have caused it? I'm thinking it is the food I ate (snack and dinner) and more important, not exercising. I worked from 8 am to 4 pm (7 52 am to 4 28 pm actually) and then went to the Montezuma Kansas Lions Club meeting.

I intend to walk tomorrow morning and since it will be a Wednesday, I will also lift weights. I can only hope this will help be with the A1C test come the 23 of November...

• about a quarter to a half cup of red whine wine and some "Italian Seasoning.

I had a Foster's oil can (Aussie beer) and a "small" gin-n-tonic for "desert".

Drinking that much beer and gin-n-tonic was a big mistake!

About an hour after going to bed, I started burping up stomach juices. I'd swallow them and go back to sleep. Then, I woke up realizing that I had stomach juices coming out of my left nostril. I must have been really asleep to sleep through this. (Thank God I never sleep on my back or I could have chocked on these juices like Jim Morrison did! Howver, I was sobor and the legend what that he wasn't...)

Well, enuf is enuf so I went into the main bedroom bathroom and sternly told my stomach "Time to barf if you want to!" Naturally nothing happened so I stuck my finger down my throat several times (6?) and that brought up enuf stomach juices that I was able to feel comfortable in going back to bed.

First, I had to wath my hands so I left this bathroom and went to the hall bathroom and found my wife getting ready to come to bed. Conversation:

Her:"Are you OK?"

Me: "I am now..."

Her: "Were you vomiting?"

Me: "Errr, sort of..."

Her: What do you mean, sort of? You either were or you weren't!"

Me: "Yeah, I was..."

Her: "I thought so; don't try to hide this from me."

Me: "Yes, dear..."

It all came down to my stomach not emptying worth a damn and that I can not consume too many liquids before going to bed. Or course, I can't eat too much grease before going to bed. So, it is a toss up
as to which (if either) is the causative factor in my barfing withing two hours of going to bed. Fortunately, this typically only happens once a month or so. I won't let myself consider the times it comes in clusters of a couple or three nights in a roll...

• a head of boiled broccoli florets,
• a small amount of sliced beef (fried)
• and a glass of water.

My morning blood sugar was 111 and my evening was only 113! I guess that shit (broccoli) works!

It left me hungry so I had a half peanut butter samwhich on a slice of sour dough bread before bed with a gin-n-tonic.

They put a cautionary note in: "you're going to have gas like Sauda Arabia" [or words to that effect] if you increase your fiber intake. I had that gas this morning; I practically "jet propelled" myself out of bed and to the main bedroom at 4:16 am...

Breakfast: Oatmeal and coffee.

Lunch: Some left over stew but not too much of the meat (it was stringy and tough) and a couple of largish potatoe chunks plus a can of DP.

Snack: I was fairly hungry so I bought a can of cheap corn beef hash, put it into a sauce pan, cracked an egg over it and cooked it over low heat until the egg was done. It was good but a couple of hours after eatting, I was afraid that I'd spoiled my dinner. My 29th Anniversary Dinner!

Dinner: We went to Mike Casey's "Casey's Cowtown" and I had

• salad with thousand island dressing,
• a nice KC strip steak,
• baked potatoe (looked small but was more than I ate),
• roll with butter and
• corn.

I thought about having desert - their flaming custard but I didn't because

• I'm worried about the upcoming A1C test on 20 November 2008,
• I was afraid I'd end up getting sick from both the steak fat and the desert and
• I simply felt too stuffed!

Who would have thought I'd feel too stuffed?

So far, I have not been doing all that great...

Dinner: Nice steak, baked potatoe, bioled carrots, bottle of Michelob Lager (not the GodAwful Mic "Ultra" and

Pre-bedtime "snack": a gin-n-tonic...

My 2 hours post dinner5 blood sugar reading was 156...this is a bit high given that I'd had only a potatoe (and sour creamme) for the flash-to-blood gucose. Kathie thougth it was the broccoli but I checked and broccoli has a glycemic index of 15. Fifteen is in the low range!
