Change of Lifestyle

Hi everyone, 


So yesterday was a visit to my regular doctor for a follow up on lab work.  Most of my lab work was elevated far beyond the healthy range and way up from the last labs in March when I was in the hospital with Acute Kidney Failure. The Acute Kidney Failure is still unexplained by all doctors involved with my care. I expected my glucose and A1C to be elevated as I had been monitoring at home.  Diabetes does run in my family, typically with older adults, however my oldest daughter; Heather, was with Hypoglycemia (opposite of Diabetes) and had a seizure at 3 months old that was almost fatal.  


At 1 year old, in 1995, the Endocrinologists at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford removed 95% of her pancreas.  The surgery was necessary as the medication she was on was in trial stages to be used for Hypoglycemia and could cause brain damage.  The surgery had a 50/50 chance of success.  She could have come out of it with the Hypoglycemia being turned to Diabetes if the doctors had removed too much or she could come come out of surgery without either. We were fortunate with the success and Heather was no longer Hypoglycemic or Hyperglycemia (Diabetic).  She was monitored a good year or so because the Pancreas, although you can live without it, when removed, if all cells are not completely scraped clean, it can in fact grow back.  Heather for the most part was healthy and had no issues until the age of 13.  We were at a camp-out and she broke out due to an allergy to something that was never found, we had to rush her into town into the ER where she was given Benadryl and placed on a steroid.  The steroid is what we believe crossed her back over to then be a Diabetic.  After approximately 2 years of being on Metformin, a common Diabetic Type II oral medication, her Diabetes disappeared like in remission or something.  She is now 18 and is currently Diabetic and Hypoglycemic free.  


Back to me, the doctor straight out and sternly advised me and then my husband that should I continue with my lab work numbers including my Triglycerides, Glucose, Cholesterol etc rising, it would "KILL ME!"  So, as you can imagine, this scared the %%%% outta me and I know now I need make a change in my diet.  The doctor explained that she understands due to my chronic pain, Fibromyalgia Pain, Severe Arthritis and Bulging that brings pain to my low back, my exercise is very limited, so diet is going to be severely hard with an extreme change immediately.  I'm going to be using My Fitness Pal to update my loss and to monitor my daily calorie intake.  I will also be posting recipes on my other blog The Mystical Kitchen if you would like to follow, would love to share with you too and here I will be sharing tips, my progress and looking for support and ideas.  


Here's to a healthy lifestyle change for myself and family, cheers!

In Reno, Nevada, Springtime wouldn't feel right without visiting our local Meadowood Mall and shopping for the great and newest fashions, accessories and shoes.

Missing Child; Etan Patz Case Revived By New Agent

I wasn't familiar with or don't remember this story but that could be because it's happened so long ago.  I think I was 10 when this first happened.  Reading the story in it's entirety brought tears to my eyes, I can't imagine losing a child, let alone losing a child to something such as in this story. 


Click the title below to read the entire story.  And please include this family and these agents in your prayers, I hope they find the closure I'm sure they need and want.

Missing Child Case in SoHo, All but Closed, Was Revived by a New Agent

Over the past five years, the case of Etan Patz, a missing 6-year-old, was thoroughly re-examined, culminating in the current search beneath a basement in SoHo.

We All Scream For Ice Cream Giveaway

Recently, I won a package of Baskin Robbins Cake Bites from one of the local shops here in the Reno/Sparks, Nevada area.  The location was at McCarren & Prater.  

Say goodbye to Bon-Bons, these Cake Bites are my new crave and splurge, well worth the money and equivalent to a high end truffle but more refreshing for sure!

The shop was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful, much more professional friendlier than the last experience I had with another shop near my home. 

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, this Baskin Robbins location, has a drive-thru!!  Do you realize what this means, LOL?  This means I can go in my jammies and get ice cream, yay!

I love Baskin Robbins so much and now I want to share some with you.  I have a card for one lucky local reader from the Reno/Sparks area to enjoy a FREE Ice Cream Roll Cake ($20 Value) redeemable only at the Sparks location: 

1145 N. McCarran Blvd. Sparks, Nevada (Just north of Prater)
