After a visit to the dentist in August
I had to go in to the E.R. Hubby drove me after that
then things got pretty fuzzy for me.
I was life flighted to the nearest big city hospital;
my blood sugar level was 1,000 death was knocking at the door.
I spent a couple of days in ICU
they saved my life getting my blood sugar under control.
I was in the hospital nearly a week.
I have type 1 diabetes now a month out of the hospital.
This is not how I wanted to check helicopter ride off my
life goals list!
No surprise; as I had gestational diabetes and was pre-diabetic
our son has type 1 also so we knew the drill.
Hubby's granny was type 1 also he has been good with me.
I have insulin pens;
the worst part is having to wait to eat
take blood sugar tests, then give self shot,
count carbs. write it all down eat.
I have a diabetic refill pack of pages for tracking food, meds. & exercise
from the day runner co. for my planner.
Before that I was just using a mead comp. note book
it's a good thing I like to journal.
I had to wear two pr. of glasses for a while.
I'm so glad to be able to see with my regular Rx of glasses again.
I've been to the dr. several times; eye dr. and dentist more work needed
not looking forward to that.
I have new a.m. and p.m. meds. plus blood sugar tests, shots of insulin 4 times a day now. Hubby said I'm being cynical when I say after my shot
"I get to live another day".
Any day above ground with out I.V.'s in my arms is a good day!
I have such a different out look on life now it's just great to be here.
[I made it to our son's wedding three days after I got out of the hospital and did not faint that was my goal! I just had to show up!]
