Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 thanks Cy for the update. I am planning to call Wayne Friday to wish him happy new year. Please don't mention it to him though, would like it to be a surprise *grin* Regards, Wayne Hi all, I spoke with Wayne about noon and he sounds pretty good. He is feeling better due in no small part to the fact that he does not have Dialyses today. He reports that his sugar is becoming more stable. His reading this morning was something like 125 or so. It did spike yesterday but it also does come back down. I suspect that the Diabetes management in the hospital does leave something to be desired. Anyway, Wayne wanted me to tell everyone hello.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi , Don't worry, I wont tell. I think he would really enjoy that. When I talk to him he tells me of the people who have called him. It does seem to really matter and I think it will help make the difference. God bless you and your family. By the way, he is still talking about speaking with your short sidekick Nick. Cy, the Ancient Okie... Re: Wayne thanks Cy for the update.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 , You definitely have more trust and faith in doctgors and nurses than I do. I believe that Wayne could manage is insulin injections and glucose monitor readings a lot more trustworthy than the hospital staff can. Wayne > > I spoke with Wayne yesterday afternoon.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi Group, Sorry for the double post about Wayne. Something went amiss and the poor computer refused to mail the first note. I suppose it thought about it and then decidd to just go ahead and humor me. Cy, the Ancient Okie... Wayne I spoke with Wayne. He said he is feeling better as they gave him a pain pilll after the ordeal he went through. At least they said they would not do that to h im again! He really manages to keep his own spirits up considering all that has happened to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have emailed , his good friend, and should hear back from her soon as to what is up.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 lol lol... pat, the hospital is trying to kill you! *laugh*... I couldn't agree more! That is why it is good to shop around for a doc that is that team player that knows what you need and so on. Regards, Wayne I just spoke with Wayne. He seems to have his blood sugars in control again. I told him and he agreed, that he would ask whoever gave him the drink, to read the amount of carbs in it. When I go into the hospital, I go into defense mode. I think my BG level is always higher when in the hospital because I am sure they are trying to kill me! I ask questions with every pill or drink or every IV they start. It is usually not eh doctors fault when an error occurs like that, but he fault of whoever is giving you the drink. You just have to b really alert and ask questions. I was glad to hear he was feeling so much better. However, they are moving his fistula for the dialysis, so will have to have another surgery to do that and he said they might move him to another room. It looks like he will stay there a while.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 You are correct about that . they call it white coat syndrom here also! My fear is not so much about what I am going to hear, but as I am sure they will make some sort of detricmental error that wil make matters worse! part of the problem is that i worked in hospitals and know about all the errors that are made! Re: Wayne , I think a lot of people's BP does go up, when they need to see a doctor, particularly at a hospital! I, and a few others here in England, like to call it, [White Coat syndrome]. I think it could be put down to the fact, that you are in a strange environment, and also, you always expect to hear the worst from your doctor. Rowe. Wayne > > I just spoke with Wayne.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Like I said, Rita. They try to kill you there! those are really good questions to ask. Re: Wayne Pat, I am sure it is not just medication for diabetes that gets mixed up. I would always ask two questions. What is the name of this medicine and who is it for? Same thing when they come to get you for a test. What test is this and who is it for. My mom once got an e. e. g. which was for her roommate. Gee.
