Mom went to see her doctor the other day because she’s not been feeling well lately. She had some laboratory tests and the results surprised us all. She’s diabetic but the increase in her sugar level was way too high. In addition, she is also hypertensive, having joint pains and to top it all, she’s now having heart problems. It was really alarming but she was prescribed several new maintenance medications, one of which was chondroitin glucosamine supplements for her joint pains.
We’ve been monitoring her sugar level, blood pressure and heart rate since then. She was complaining of chest pains yesterday morning but it was gone after she took her meds. She’s also on a strict diet now and she’s seeing her dietician regularly. She’s not prevented from doing household chores, though, which is fortunate because we were worried; knowing mom like we do, we realize she can’t and won't stay still. But all will be fine as long as the work is light, and the exercise is actually good for her heart. And we certainly do want her to be well for she truly is the "heart" of our family.
