It’s hard to believe that on April 14 I left work with snow on the ground, the air temperature was 23 degrees but with the wind chill it felt like 15 degrees. Yesterday when I left for the gym?  89 degrees! I am not complaining though – after the winter we’ve had I’ll take warm weather any day.  I just miss the actually spring like...

Do you guys remember last fall when I had a photo shoot downtown?  It felt like so long ago!  From the time the Diabetes magazine contacted me they literally wanted me to get my photos professionally done within a week!  The photographer A.J. was super nice.   But I only really saw the photos through his camera.  Here’s the deal, I was the “model” and had...

Yesterday I hit the ground running at work.  Still training the new girl and I spent a big chunk of my morning at her desk showing her the ropes.  I ended up eating my breakfast at her desk, so no picture, but it was two more Pillsbury Grand breakfast muffins – so good!  I had a banana on the side too. Before I knew it,...

Tony update:  We don’t see his doctor until NEXT Tuesday, so the waiting game continues.  Thank you though for all your thoughts and prayers coming our way – we appreciate it! I spent about an hour and a half Sunday meal prepping for the week.  It was nice to wake up this morning already knowing that my food is prepared and ready to go.  There...

Anyone who’s even been in a hospital for more than a day can attest to the fact that the hospital is the last place you’ll get any rest.  It always boggled my mind how loud everyone could be in the hallway, nurses coming in to check on your bed mate – doctors streaming in and out and hourly vital signs. So it’s no wonder that...

If you follow on Insagram (mybizzykitchen) then you already know that Tony got home last night! When I went to the hospital before work yesterday, I woke him up.  It was just before 7:00 a.m.  I stayed for just over an hour but no doctors came by.  He was able to order off the regular menu, no diet restrictions, and ordered the fresh fruit plate...

I got to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. yesterday morning.  I can never know exactly when doctors are going to do their rounds, so I figured the early bird gets the worm!  At 7:15, one doctor came in to tell us that they would be performing Tony’s liver biopsy that day.  That’s to determine what type of liver problems we are dealing with.  His autoimmune...

When Tony was first admitted he was put in a private room – nice!  We thought it was because he had c-diff once, but sadly, it was because he was having bowel problems, and once those cleared up, so did the private room.  He texted me the night before last with his new room number.  His roommate?  An 83 year old diabetic who had signs...

I went to visit Tony before work yesterday.  I normally leave my house around 8:10 in the morning and my 16 mile commute takes me about 30-35 minutes.  There usually isn’t too much of a back up because I take the back roads to work where the two lanes are 55 mph.  Nice.  Yesterday?  It took me 35 minutes to drive 5.5 miles to the...

It was kind of an ironic day yesterday.  I had to go to the hospital to get my blood work done.  Didn’t take too long, but I do have to get an I.D. bracelet just as if I was a patient.  They always double check your name, date of birth, etc.   Since I couldn’t eat or drink anything before the blood draw, I went into...
