Heck Of A Week

I went to take my pre-employment physical on Tuesday of this week. I had to fill out forms about all the meds I was on and any medical conditions I had. I put down that I was diabetic and was off my meds. They tested my blood sugar and I was at 425. With my blood sugar being that high they wouldn’t finish with the rest of the physical and would not approve me because part of the job I had been offered required me to drive. They won’t pass you if your Blood Sugar is above 300.

So with my possible job in jeopardy I called TARC to see what needed to be done.  They told me to go see my Dr. and they would work with me. The reason I hadn’t been on my meds or seen a Dr. was because of no insurance. Luckily I had enough money to go see the Dr. and get some test strips. My Doc is a great guy and is always willing to help me out. He gave me 3 sample pens for Levemir insulin.

So I went back on Friday and got my physical. Blood sugar was 295 and I passed everything else. Went home and called TARC and let them know.

Tomorrow (Monday) my seven months of unemployment ends as I return to work at TARC. I’m excited to be going back to work and I am excited about the possibilities that my new job is going to offer me.

Have to go to bed early so I can be bright-eyed for w0rk!
