Jae's Anatomy: Week 3 - On the Inaccuracies of Modern Medicine

***Actual conversation with my OB yesterday afternoon***

Dr: Hey Jacqueline, how are we doing today?

Me: Oh, same old, same old. Just truckin' along (I repeat some sort of this sentiment every single day.)

Dr: Great. Hey, so I was looking through your charts and I noticed that your blood sugar has been perfect every single day soo..... yeah, I don't even think you HAVE diabetes.

Me: (Acting surprised BUT KNOWING THIS ALL ALONG) Oh, really?

Enter Nurse with dreaded blood sugar testing kit.

Dr: So yeah, I don't even think we need to test you. Well, maybe twice a week. But not four times a day.

Nurse: So should I test her now?

Dr: Meh. No. Lets do it Monday morning.

Exit Nurse while I look smugly on.

Dr: Well, sorry for testing you so much for nothing. See you tomorrow!

Me: Oh yeah, see you around!

I wait until door has closed, and I then triumphantly call everyone I know and tell them I can now have chocolate, and if they would bring some over, I wouldn't be mad.

So there it is, the docs don't think I have GD, apparently steroids (which I had the week before I admitted) can make your blood sugar look artificially high and so that's what they think it is. I am still going to stay on the GD diet, but they don't care what kind of "extracurriculars" I have brought in, as long as its not on Sunday night.

Which means one thing. My mom is coming in 2 weeks and in her suitcase will be this precious, precious delicacy:


And I shall eat the whole bag.

I swear I grew J & E totally on Tostitos Nacho Cheese chips... which explains a lot.

Glad to hear the good news...

Ketchup chips are wicked awesome. They don't taste like ketchup on chips either. Infact, they don't taste much like ketchup, I don't think. They are delicious though!

Glad to hear you're doing well and can eat the rest of your Twix without any guilt.
