Slowly Coming Back

An hour after I posted my blog for last night I was headed off to the emergency room.  I had begun coughing up blood and anytime I see blood when I shouldn't I go nuts and seek attention immediately.  The good news was that I was not vomiting blood, I had vomited so many times that the back of throat was very raw and that is where the blood was coming from.  Once I was checked in they quickly took blood and gave me a bag of fluids along with something to settle my stomach.  The only negative from my visit was that the doctor suggested not taking any insulin after they tested my blood sugar and I was 257.  The doctor suggested that I wait till the blood work returned, luckily all of the blood work was good and I could now take some insulin.  An hour after I tested and was 257 I tested again and was 269.  I took two units of insulin and Leanne and I headed home for the night.  Leanne had to stop at CVS before her night ended however, I had no test strips at the house.  I call in my prescription when I have ten strips left, yesterdays freak sickness had caused me to use ten strips in twelve hours.  I'm very lucky that I had Leanne with me, she is the best care giver although she probably does want to punch me after I said I was sorry so many times for being sick and making her night crazy.

Today was a very slow and boring day.  I felt better but had no energy and did a lot of sleeping.  I have begun having soup and bread, I'm very happy to report that it has stayed down.  The last thing I want to do is eat "normal" food and have it come back up.  So far today I have tested seven time and my average is at 161.  I'm still very cautious with my insulin doses, I'm still scared to go below 120 while my stomach is still off.  While talking to the nurse last night at the hospital she had said that a lot of people have been in the hospital with the same symptoms.  I will turn in to a mother and suggest that everyone washes their hands and covers their mouth when coughing or sneezing.
