SBS

Well, the appointment went well this afternoon. I hadn't seen Dr. P in a really long time, so it was nice to finally get in and make sure everything is okay. I am having slight issues with my feet, because of all of the running. Simply being diabetic, I have issues with my feet occasionally. The skin cracks around my heels and toes, so I need to make sure that I keep them dry and clean. Now, I hate shoes, so I need to waer them more often while running. Last year, we ran a lot of practices in our bare feet and it was so much fun. Also since it has been so hot and humid here, early in the morning, when we go running, the grass is soaked. I bought these cool socks that are supposed to be water-resistant, so we'll see how they work. I actually didn't think about what I was doing with my feet, since I was more worried about my ongoing feud with prickers (grr).

But I have to get bloodwork done tomorrow morning, so I have to fast for like 12 hours, which won't be too bad. I hate getting blood drawn though. As much as I have to poke and prick and take blood from myself, I hate having to get it tested. I also have to do a urine test. Ugh! Which leads to the title of this post: SBS. SBS is Shy Bladder Syndrome. I created this because I can't pee on demand. I could need to pee like a racehorse, but if I were handed a cup and told to pee, I couldn't do it. It is so weird. I just pee when I need to pee, haha.

So since I will be having blood sucked out of me tomorrow morning, I can't go running. Instead, I called Lisa, and we're going to ride bikes through the park and back to our old elementary schools. This way, I can strap on a pack and keep some juice and carbs with me in case I go too low from having the blood drawn. I haven't ridden bike in the park for a long time, actually. It should be a lot of fun!

I have more news about the visit, but I am going to wait until later to post. It ight be a couple of days until I get the results, so I will have to find a new way to keep you entertained until then.
