Not a good day for me and not a good week.
Fridsy I slipped, fell and re-injured my remaining right medial hamstring, broke my right wrist and strained my left knee. SHIT!
This week I was also diagnosed with Celiac disease and type 2 Diabetes. Celiac means you are gluten intolerant. It causes malnutrition because you can not absorb nutrients and causes severe pain if you ingest gluten. EXCEPT in rare cases it can cause excessive weight gain and relative minor gut problems. Guess which one I have?
The diagnosis was made after my CT scan for the kidney stone I had in February. An incidental finding showed multiple liver densities. Follow up. Labs showed elevated liver studies, off the chart celiac levels and a high A1c indicating diabetes. And it explains why I have been doing pool aerobics, 2 classes a day averaging 16 days a month, no fast food, no sodas, and trying to eat healthy and yet my weight as been creeping up. I add a 20lb weight gain in one month.....ONE MONTH. UNFUCKING believable.
Not happy....but will survive and hopefully lose weight with the gluten-free expensive diet and the diabetic diet. Seaoat and Bob will keep me positive through their optimistic approach to health issues worse than mine.
The liver studies will be repeated in July along with a liver ultrsound. Those results will dictate what is next.
