Really sad..

[Guest guest]

After a major attack on the 8th of this month, after not having any

for over a year. I was admitted for a 4 day stay. During that stay my

amalyse and lypase were elevated. I had a Dr. savy enough with the

disease that she order glucose testes. As a result I was given a five

seperate times two units of insulin. I understand that is not alot,

but I did notice less pain and I did feel better. A couple of days

after my release I saw my PCP. She made an appointment the an

endocronologist. I During this time I have monitored my glucose and it

has been elevated. Averaging 10pts above normal(126) with a couple of

spike about 220. I saw the endocronologist and I am now a diabetic. He

ran some test and I am now waiting for results to see what the

treatment will be. Basiclly the insulin treatment. I see him on the

2nd again to start that. But in the meantime I was driving home from

the store today and I started to feel very weird. I got home and test

my glucose and it was 225. I know now what is like to drive with high

blood sugars.

I feel sad because my dad is going into the hospital on tuesday to

have a polyp(sp) removed from his colon. It big enough to require

surgery. I don't know if he will be overnight or not. I want to be

there. But 5am is out the the question for me. I have would be threre

all day. My dad was there for me while I was in the hospital. My mom

is checking with my sister. Maybe a switch in the afternoon. PLEASE

Pray for the fast recovery of him and pray for the strength for my

mom. For the past 2 years we have grown pretty close.

Thank in advance....
