Synopsis: The Sweet Life
I'm taking my doctor's advice and writing about my life as a diabetic. Since I find humor to be better than insulin for adjusting my attitude when it comes to diabetes, I'm going to relate my experiences with all the associated humor and levity. This isn't a over-written topic as far as I can see. Few find humor in the living the sweet life with the finger sticks, blindness, nerve damage, social ostracism, and the other highs and lows. Guarantee my readers will be rolling on the floor with laughter once they see if from my point of view. Lancets drawn! Syringes poised! All together now, "AAAAA 1 CCCCCCCCCCCCCcccccc!"
Excerpt: The Sweet Life
"Salad sure looks good!"
"Mmmm... ouch! What are the hard things like little stones?"
"Seeds? Sunflower seeds - - raw."
"Ah... no - they're round and black and hard as a rock."
Panic sends a tingle up my back. What have I done now? I swore those were raw sunflower seeds added to the very expensive fresh greens. I KNOW they were. I glance at the empty jar. One small round seed remains. I hold it in my palm. OH dear! I"ve nearly broken everyone's teeth by adding uncooked lentils to the salad.
All is not lost. We add oil and vinegar marinade and put it in the the fridge until the next day when the lentils have soaked up enough dressing and softened to an edible round black pill.
I tried so hard to hide my vision inadequacies. If I ignore them they will go away, right? Yea - that's how I've nearly gone blind. Get those dilated eye exams. And, clearly label EVERYTHING in the pantry!
