Writing here is turning out to be harder than I thought, it seems I’m just in go go go mode constantly and by the time I wind down the last thing I want to do is sit here and blog about everything I just finished doing.

A couple members of my Family were asking about my blood sugars so I figured I would share the actual numbers that I’ve been hitting the last two weeks to give them an idea where I stand. This will seem pretty boring to anyone that’s not extremely interested in diabetes and blood sugars, so for that I apologize! Date Time Blood Sugar 70/30 R 15-Jul 1:05 AM 261 60U 12U 15-Jul 4:21 AM 156 [...]

Insurance will cover NOTHING pre-operative. Insurance will cover surgery, up to $25,000 Lifetime Maximum so long as all three, Surgeon, Anesthesiologist and Facility are all in network. Insurance will pay 85{6e74c841b8f362d8aea590534016dc569fd3035eeb9e530df8846b42682c6656} of contracted rate, after I’ve met my [...]
