a housewife lifestyle .....

Bahija is promoted to be the 'woman' of the house. I go to bed early, wake up early....prepare breakfast, get things ready , then wake up Teddy Bear, measure his glucose level using the glucose test kit, then gives him breakfast, then get him to exercise for 5 mins ( hopefully ), then prepare to go to work , then get off from work earlier, go home , prepare dinner , dinner at 6:30 pm or 7pm...again pre dinner - do glucose test, repeat the test 2 hours after the meal, exercise 5 mins again, wash up , get ready for next day , watch a bit of TV, read newspaper - then time to sleep. That is my typical day schedule now , this will continue for a while until I master the diet plan. Teddy Bear is diagnosed with diabetes ( beginning stage). He's on medication, yea - besides his dozen of epilepsy medication, now adding diabetes as well. A few log books for him, tracking : his weigh , his blood pressure , his glucose level before and after meal, his fits frequency, his abnormal observation. Bahija is learning to buy, prepare heathier food at home, have to share with my mummy, and encourage her to cook the same. Mum only know the traditional chinese cooking, now I am introducing simplier, easier , healther way of preparing the food. It's a lot of work, I dozed off easily by 11 pm :). I am learning to grill 2 dishes in an oven, cook rice plus steam another dish in the rice cooker , so in total , I have 3 dishes with brown rice. Yesteday started to use the glucose test kit , scared to poke the sharp needle, yeeeeee... but then, I have done 6 times liow - sudah immuned, so practice makes perfect. My take is, once I get the process in placed, when I know what diet works for Teddy Bear, when mum can help to monitor and learn to prepare healthier food, when things settling down a bit, it's time to get a domestic helper. Hope I can employ a good helper :)
