Day at the Resort

[Guest guest]

LOL, Hi Kirk.

Funny how seeing your name made me laugh. I spent the day at the " resort "

(hospital) yesterday. I thought of you as I walked in under doctor's orders to

my daughter to get me to the ER asap. (as soon as possible) Probably should have

gone earlier than we did but we were waiting for the doctor's to call us back.

Silly People (meaning me) I know how long that can take but like you, I hate

going to the resort.. Anyway, when I got there, I asked if you were there and if

not, could I please have your room. The nurses were like " HUH??? " That made my

husband nervous because I don't usually be that much of a " nut case " unless I'm

in deep trouble. LOL Oh well. Didn't have much control at the time.

The doctor came in and said we are doing all these blood tests and UA (urine

analysis), head CT, IV, shot of this and that, blah blah blah and when she was

done, the words " and in the morning I'm making waffles " (said by Donkey in

Shrek) were heard in the room followed by lots of laughter. LOL I laugh now

just thinking of it. It was SO hysterical. Anyway, they kicked me out of there

about 9:30 ish PM.

No, Dad (oldgoat / Bob) I was NOT doing too much. Apparently my blood sugar

took a MASSIVE nose dive. I'd never done anything like this before. We aren't

sure why it happened this time..It all started about 8 am just out of the blue

so to speak. I was at my daughters house to help her with the twins. It was my

day to help. One minute I was absolutely fine and the next I was in deep trouble

with NO warning. I was massively sweating over my entire body, shaking pretty

good, white as a sheet, could not stand up at all and I was SO weak. My eyes

wigged out and got all wierd on my daughter. She kept trying to asking me

questions and I tried to talk to her but every time I spoke I started throwing

up. Then I got dizzy. Always said I am a dizzy blonde trapped in a brunette's

body but now guess I don't really want to have to prove it any more. LOL

I did lots of glucose remedies when I started shaking and feeling sweaty. It

didn't make sense that my sugar could be low but that's what it felt like so

what could it hurt to do remedies? I had forgotten my glucometer so I used the

glucose tabs, graham crackers, milk, juice, candy, spaced about 10 minutes or so

apart to see how I felt. It didn't seem to work so I wasn't sure what was wrong.

I know diabetes and what to do but I'd never done THIS before. Threw it all up

by the time I was done and my 4 year old was QUITE impressed with it all. LOL

When the twins were born, she (the child who turned 4 the day before) marched

right in the room to see Mom and the first words out of her mouth were? Not " HI

Mom " or " Where are the Babies " or anything like that. She walked right over to

Mom, started lifting sheets and asking " Can I see your cut? " I swear she is

going to grow up to be a nurse.

Anyway, I ended up in the hospital at about 3 but had not eaten anything I

kept down since 7 pm the night before. Wierd thing is that my glucose was 176???

Doc said it was because I crashed and my body " dosed " out a lot of glucose to

pull me out of it and I will probably run high for the next couple of days. Labs

came back that I am the picture of health. Yeah, right. Then why the resort? LOL

I was pretty violently sick there for a few hours. My daughter was going to

call the ambulance but I was so dizzy at the time, I didn't want to throw up any

more by moving and certainly didn't want to be juggled around in an ambulance. I

guess I should have gone anyway now that I know what happened. By the time the

doc called me back, I had taken a nap and was feeling much better but she made

me promise to get to the ER so I went like a good little patient. It was an

adventure for sure.

A 6 year old girl arrived at the ER while I was there. She had scalded herself

and burned in spots from Hot Chocolate. One of the nurses chimed in the question

" Was it from Mcs? " I cracked up. Sometimes, you gotta love that place.

Smiles, Caroline the Wierd

May you have enough happiness to make you kind, enough trials to make you

strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
