February 7

3:25 PM Ordered this morning an A1C monitor on Amazon. Got it at my door in a few hours. However it is not easy to use without seeing someone. Instructions too fine printed. Even after i saw the video i spent one more set of pouches.

But eventually figured it out and the last reading i got was 7.8. I am far from 10 point something in my chart at Legacy. And  yes, i believe they use the same type of monitor, by the shape and size of blood collector.

The reason i bought this in a hurry was i read online that if you have A1C over 8 you cannot have surgery because your wound won't heal. So if my leg got gangrene, they could not amputate it that is. Or they could try and i would die in horrible pains or something like that. Could have went to Walmart, they do this test on site for 27 bucks if i'm noy mistaken but for that i would expose myself again to cold which i'm trying to avoid.

I suffered a heavy set back a couple of days ago. I drank one bier but that was only the beginning. Smoke coming from outside made me irresponsible. I wet vacuumed the couch and a carpet in my bare feet, with only some plastic bags over and open window. Within 24 hours both feet started to turn blue, like they some times were in the past and my wound started to hurt.

However after 24 hours laying in a thermal pouch, i slowly started to get better like right now i am almost where i was before this whole episode.

Same kind of smoke was present here all day.
