ER visit

April 2, 2009

I woke up this morning feeling really bad. I started my daily routine of

turning on the tv and found that it was flipping but it really wasn't flipping.

My eyes were playing tricks on me. I went to the bathroom and washed my face

and became dizzy along with the blurred vision. I decided that it was not a

good day to goto work. So I called my boss who informed me I needed to bring in

documentation for being out. So, I went down to the local ER, can't afford my

co-pay for my insurance at the moment finances are extremely tight. They drew 3

tubes of blood, and gave me some pain meds and a cat scan which all came back

negative. The PA was very nice but insistant that I get an appointment for a

full eye exam that she made for me for tomorrow so I'm off to the eye doctor. I

am wondering if my RA is now causing vision issues. On top of having the

blurred vision I also had a major headache one I have never felt before, so bad

I didn't even want to move all I wanted to do was sleep. Anyway, I hope

everyone is having a better day then I am. My monday was worse then today

though maybe I will tell sometime but its a bit graphic, work was hell that day.

Have a pain free day and night

A couple of months ago, my wife, Betty, was sitting in her chair and seeming

to be out of it. What I first noticed was the glass of tea I got for her a

few minutes before. She was having trouble putting it on her coaster. Our

daughter, Liz, came over and we checked her blood sugar. She is diabetic,

BTW, and it checked very high. By that time, the ambulance had arrived and

they checked her sugar a few times. The magic number was 70, a little low

but no reason for concern, or so the medics decided. I told them to take her

to the hospital anyhow. By the time I arrived at the ER, she was sitting up

and talking. During transport, about 40 minutes, her sugar went to 20! She

had been almost comatose.That was scary for both of us. Anyhow, the moral of

that story is, Don't just accept the numbers, they could be deceptive!

I understand completely, because some times my numbers jump. Today I've tested

twice on my own. The first time was 100 and the second time was 88. So I am

getting ready to go find something to eat to try to bring it up a bit.

I'm what they call borderline diabetic and use diet to adjust my levels.
