Pass the onions

So as you know, I am currently on Prednisolone for my polymyalgia rheumatica. Predictably, my blood sugars have skyrocketed because of the steroids.

As I was reading my FB, a reel came up about bringing blood sugar down by eating onions. So I prepared this drink and it was too vile for me to take.

As I had boiled a lot of onions, I added some seasonings and drained them and ate them

Fastforward to evening when I take my sugars and inject my insulin, I firstly noticed that my finger sprayed blood in a fine spotted spray. I thought how thin my blood must be.

Secondly, when I took my sugars, to my surprise they were in single figures after double all day...

So I have made a decision to eat more onions to reduce my sugar readings and keep my blood thin...

I will be using insulin of course, but if my sugars spike especially after taking Prednisolone, I will be asking Chris to pass the onions...

Thank You Lord, for the blessings.

 

So we found out today that  the house has been sold  to an investor.

Apparently we will be able to stay as tenants. To say we are relieved is an understatement.

We are so grateful to the LORD for allowing us to stay. He has answered our prayers.

We are both not in good shape to cope with a move. Chris with his stroke and me with fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatica flaring together..

At the moment, I am still not quite believing this good news... after weeks of uncertainty, it is such a change to relax.

I am so attached to this house.. I have finally unpacked my emotional suitcase so to speak. That rarely happens when you are constantly renting.

Just savouring a cup of tea with my cat by my side, I realise how very very blessed we are.

We would have somehow managed a move- you do what you have to do- but to be able to stay and not have to do anything except pay the rent to a different landlord is a blessing that will go on giving.

Thank You LORD, for the blessings.
