SecondHand Radio with Sybil Law
I know, I still owe a Halloween recap. Tomorrow, I promise.
Tuesday I had a shitload of medical appointments, both in town and out. Since I go to the V.A. for my medical care, I typically go to the little clinic here in Sebring. But whenever something specialized is needed, it’s off to the “parent” center in St. Pete…a 2-hour drive each way.
So I went to the doctor in Sebring Tuesday morning. Verdict: sugar is still not controlled. Time to add regular insulin to my regimen. This means possibly having multiple shots a day. I already take long-acting insulin in the morning and at bedtime. Ugh. Shots suck.
In St. Pete I had to have a cardiac stress test. That’s where they shave your chest a little, stick leads all over your upper torso, and then put you on a treadmill to get your heartrate up while monitoring your heart activity. Obviously – *cough* – I’m in great shape so this test fucking KILLED me. The incline on the treadmill kept going up and up and speeding up and up and my legs were screaming for mercy. Finally, my heartrate got up to 151 and they let me stop. Results pending, but they said it looked okay.
Then it was time for my eyes to get examined so I can get the left lens replaced in my specs. It’s all scratched up and I can’t remember how I did it. And they’re polycarbonate lenses, too, which are supposed to be like titanium and shit. Vision hasn’t changed that much. New glasses probably next month when I can afford them. Fortunately, most all of my vision is done through my right eye, so I can barely tell the left lens is scratched.
Oh, and I hate having my eyes dilated.
Then, I went for a chest x-ray to see if my lungs are black or not. Again, results pending. I should know when I go back to my doctor in 3 weeks for a follow-up to the diabetes. Course, I assume that if something iffy comes back on the x-rays, I’ll get a call before then.
So that’s where things stand medically. Yay me.
In the meantime, I’m bumming hardcore. I had a falling out with a very close friend and it feels like I can’t catch my breath. I appreciate all the supportive tweets and emails from everyone. I’ll be okay. Still, it hurts like a bitch right now, much worse than breaking up with a girlfriend.
Sarah Joy, Sybil Law, and Delmer
Tonight, however, we celebrate with fun time! It’s another episode of SecondHand Radio and my guest is the beautiful Sybil Law, who I got to meet in person at Avitable’s Halloween party last Saturday. She dressed up as Wonder Woman and really made me wanna ride her invisible jet. I snagged this photo from Sarah Joy. There’s Sarah Joy, Sybil, and Delmer towering over them as Delmers are wont to do.
Hope you’ll join us at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Central tonight. We’ll talk about anything and everything and you’re all welcome to call in or join in on the chatroom action. Or both.
If you go to Talkshoe.com and register ahead of time (if you haven’t already), you can easily come into chat and call in so that Talkshoe will automatically recognize you. You can click on the 2HT Radio in the top banner of my blog for more information.

If talkshoe will FUCKING cooperate tonight, and if my tupperware party doesn’t run late (don’t laugh at me!), then I’ll be there!
Have you asked your doctor ab pills for your diabetes – those things are like rockstars on my dad’s diabetes….good thing bc if we had to shoot him everyday, he’d die….terrified of needles.
