Hey Brothers, It's been a Looooooooooong 5 days....just almost too long. Right now now arms and stomach look like pincushions from all the needle pokes and stuff
Here's the bottom line. Tuesday night when I talked with you guys, I didn't realize it but I was nosediving directly into a Glucose coma, just as hard and fast as I could go. Wednesday night it was all I could do to stand and by Thursday morning, standing was out of the question. Kathy called my doctor and she insisted I come right in so we got there about 10 am. After talking with her for 2 minutes, she said you are going straight to the ER and you are going to have to be admitted because your blood sugar is so high your life is at risk.
So, off we go to the ER, my doctor driving my wheel chair, and when we get there, it is straight into the ER and into a private ER suite. That was about 10:45. They checked my blood sugar there with their equipment and it was 1168...comatose stuff guys!. They started working on getting it down so they could move me to ICU and by 6pm, it hadn't moved so they took me to ICU anyay. Finally, at 01:00 am they had managed to drop it to a little over 500, then finally by 4:00 am she got it down to like 337. The past three days has been all about getting my glucose levels to stabilize and to teach me how to manage it how to give myself injections.
Just about bought a one way ticket with this round guys. I Thank God in Heaven for such a wonderful medical staff, and for their attentions while I was so sick. May God have special plans for them as they move through their medical careers.
Hope to see you guys for a while tonight, I sure have missed you guys, thought about you every day.
