I'm back (again)
Published Thu, Dec 25 2008 9:31 PM
In case any of you are still interested in my ramblings, I'm back. I've been in the hospital for a while where the issue was in a bit of doubt.
It seems that a week and a half ago I fell ill with a massive sinus infection, which led to nausea and an inability to eat. Since I wasn't eating, I got stupid and stopped taking my diabetes medications. I developed Diabetic Keto-Acidosis and found myself in Urgent Care last Friday night. After a few hours and three liters of IV fluids I was released, and told if I wasn't better the next day to go to the emergency room.
Well, I seemed better. Until Saturday night. At about 3:00 AM I started vomiting regularly about once every hour to hour and a half, and ended up in the emergency room on Sunday. From there it was straight to intensive care. I didn't leave the ICU until Tuesday afternoon, and was finally released from the Hospital at about 6:00PM tonight.
Blogging will be light for a while, but I'm back.

Layla responded with:
 | Oh how sorry I am to hear this Perri. I was wondering what happened to you, but figured it was just holiday business.
I hope you are better now and stay out of that hospital. Please take care of yourself.
I am pre-diabetic. Been so for half a year now, trying to keep it from going all the way. It is not easy resisting all the goodies during the holidays so to be honest, I failed miserably.
I am going Monday for my three month blood sugar check and cholesterol check. I am hoping my numbers dropped down some more as they did last time. My cholesterol is controled [Zocor].
I am glad you are out and I will pray for you and sending you a a BIG get well soon my friend! |
