I found out recently that I'm a borderline diabetic. No puncturing yet. I also have high blood pressure. I have to lose some weight and monitor my blood sugar. My pressure is good -- controlled by meds. But the question is "how do I want to live?" I don't want to spend time talking about this, or having concerned friends asking me if I can "eat this?" I also won't trudge from doctors office to doctors office running down cures.
It will twist some people because they'll think I'm being cavalier about it all. Trust me. I'm not. I'm soon to be 55 and I know my daughters are going to achieve amazing things and I want to see them do it.
And I have my work. I love what I do. I'm good at it. I want to do it for about 8 more years. And then, I'm off to my sister, and a condo, a dog, a gated community.....and winking at ladies.
So I am gonna take care of myself, but I don't want it to be the daily topic of conversation or a string of doctors offices. I'm gonna be okay.
