Mom update and now I'm worried about my dad
Mom update - she's doing so much better. She said she slept good last night which was something she hasn't done in months. She should be out today!!!
Dad - Yesterday he had an appt to go over all his lab work he's been doing. He's now on medicines for blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes! He's not happy. At one point my mom tried to get him to do the 17 day diet with her and he said "I gave up beer, and chewing tobacco... I can't give up my breads!" Um yea.. now you are!
Now I'm double screwed with 2 parents with diabetes. More reason for me to really work out and start eating a lower carb diet. Dad said he'll start when mom gets home.
Re: Mom update and now I'm worried about my dad
Yay for Momma Mana!! I'm glad that she's feeling better.
Boo for Papa Mana
My dad is on meds for blood pressure and cholesterol too. He also had two mini strokes about two years ago. He cleaned up his act after the strokes for about a month and then was right back to his old ways. It's so frustrating. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your dad is a little more cooperative than mine.
I'm happy to hear that about your mom.
but boo about the news of your dads results. that is sooo scary!
I'm sorry you're dealing with this at all. I can't imagine how scary it is for you to be dealing with two parents that are having health issues.

I love bread too! And pasta and rice.... carby goodness!
I told my parents to start with a low carb dinner and go from there. Jeff and I should start too. I could probably do a more low carb breakfast after I get my cereal stockpile ate up, I only have 1 more box. Probably be better for all of us.
Big A - unfornuately this isn't the first time, so I'm kind of used to it. In 2005, my dad got hit by a drunk driver going into the work at 5am. He ended up needing shoulder surgery a few months later and a ton of PT. Then a week later, my mom got diagnosed with leukemia. At least this time I'm close by and not 3 hours away in college.
I bet it would be so helpful for your dad if you and Jeff started a more low carb diet, too. You can swap tips and recipes!
