I love how my husband made it through an entire cadaver lab full of disection videos (albeit it was all virtual instead of an actual physical cadaver disection he had to do himself because the class was during summer 2020), all kinds of anatomy and phisiology stuff, all kinds of classes about various physical injuries and ailments just fine - and when our friend’s son recently broke his elbow, he was even weirdly super excited to look at the xrays and even the video of the break happening (apparently the latter is a guy thing because the kid’s father was showing it all around...I do not get it) - yet he can’t stand to see the teensy little drop of blood from my blood sugar testing or watch when I prick myself.
Meanwhile I get squeamish when someone so much as talks about hearts beating too much, let alone anything more in depth, but the blood from the pricks doesn’t bother me at all and even the actually act of pricking is pretty much no big deal for me.
I’m still far from loving the GD diet but I’m feeling a lot more comfortable now that I understand I can eat some normal things as long as they’re combined with protein. Still eating the cereal with breakfast, haven’t needed a morning snack since I started that. We also had some blueberry muffins that someone gave us for Purim, and I’ve been eating a piece of one of those with cottage cheese as an afternoon snack without issue.
My anatomy scan is on Tuesday and I’m pretty nervous for that. Originally we had scheduled it for Thursday and my husband was going to be able to come. But when I went in for my GD appointment, the MFM said she wanted me to move it up to the beginning of the week so that she could check on the blood sugar monitoring sooner. She suggested Monday, but when I went to the front desk to make the appointment, they informed me that she was out of the office that day. 🤦🏻♀️ I asked if we could do it at the end of the previous week, but they said there were no available slots for anatomy scans on those days. The only day they could do it was Tuesday, the day my husband has class scheduled from 10:15-2:15 every week. He does pretty much always get out of that class early, so we asked if we could do it in the afternoon, but no, only at 10:00. So now he definitely can’t come with me to the appointment, and won’t even see any texts I send him about it til probably hours later. 😭😭😭
