Thanks Kimber, Darren, Fliss and Heidi

I was going to go by Walgreens and look for that stuff but was

running late to get thekids and couldn't. I do keep sweet tarts

with me, they are the same as the glucotabs but far less expensive.

I am also starting to be able to recognize when my sugar is

dropping. that foggy shakey weird feeling. I hardly take any

insuling any more. 2 units with meals and 5 units of lantus at

night.

I was told to eat whatever I wanted and thats been kind of fun.

Haven't been able to do that in a really long long time. Darren

thats a great idea about the cable and downloading it. I have the

accuchek advantage and it has a port but I dont know where to get

the cable. Please send me that page that has the one for free. I

could keep one at home and one in the car. They want me to check it

10-12 times a day now. I have hypoed a couple of times since the

seizure but at least I can recognize it now.

Heidi how does lunch at the Mustard Seed Sound? I have plans for

Monday, tuesday and thursday so it may have to be next week. Let me

know when you are planning to visit Lindy and we can work something

out. Maybe we can get all the other Carolina girls to join us if

given enough to plan.

I went to the grocery store for the first time today. It has been 6-

7 months since I have gone by myself. What a lark, I must have

looked like a complete lunatic, ginning from ear to ear so happy to

be thumping my own melons and and pinching meat. May have over done

it a bit was really sore when I got home. I can get a little over

zealous at times and really need to remind myself to continue to

take things slowly. I am actually thinking about going back to

work.

It is so hard to believe that just a few months ago I could barely

get out of bed and now I feel like I have been reborn. Even when I

had forgotten to take the creon I did not have a bad experience at

all. I do take my miralax every day and that certainly helps. But

I have to admit I forget the creon a lot more often then I should.

I dont know why I dont forget anything else. What would Freud have

to say about that....lol.

Fliss please tell Jim that you will be in my prayers on tuesday and

if you ever want to talk about it please feel free to email me or

even call if you would like. I unfortuneatley have had a great deal

of expereinces with prostate CA; some good some not so good. Ask me

anything but know that my heart is with you both.

Thank you all again for all the good info, I have learned so much

from each and every member of this board. I hope that in some small

way I have and can return that priviledge.

With all my love,

Chrissy

Chrissy,

if you can't get to Walgreens you can still buy the Insta-glucose

online. It can take a bit to learn your signs of an oncoming

hypoglycemia attack as it varies from person to person. It does sound

like you'll be off insulin soon if you are taking so little now. I'm

glad that you are able to eat anything you want.

Just remember to take it easy and you'll be fine.

Kimber
