in General Discussion

Here we go , SIL found me passed out on floor apx. 6 weeks ago , trip in ambulance to hospital , blood sugar was over 900 ? was in a coma for 3 days ,then in ICU for 2 weeks , then in regular hospital till this last Friday .

Not able to go "Home" , so living at daughters in AL ! They are doing good taking care of as well as they can !

Of course , No Insurance :Got a lawyer to get SSI disability and things started , says will take a while !

Doing a lil better some days : On insulin and bunches of meds ? Maybe they will work ?

Thought a bunch of GB Forums and all you guys , this is the first contact of any kind with the 'outside' world .

Prayers Please ( get well cards would also be nice ) May never be able to go home ( to tn ) ,,, So here I am !

Going to try and get on here as much as I can , typing this has bout wore me out ?

Good Wishes to All !

    Prayers asked for you. When I was put in the hospital for my diabetes I had blood sugar count of 1100. They put me in ICU like you for a week then a normal room for another week till I was under 200 for 48 hours. They will get you straightened out in no time. You will feel so much better.

    Is this the first you knew of your diabetes or have you been diabetic and it got out of control?

    Diet and exercise. Basic meat and low carb vegetable diet.

    Best wishes from here.

    I was having TIA's and that's what sent me to the hospital. My A1C was 14.5. They sent me by ambulance to a bigger hospital, then on to the regional trauma hospital where I spent 4 days in their care.

    After I got out I had to attend Diabetic classes at the local hospital. They had a chart on the wall that listed the various issues that can be caused at specific A1C's. The chart only went up to 12, that got my attention right away.

    That's when I started my new lifestyle. I counted carbs (no more than 65 carbs per meal) and keep a daily log of my BS and BP. I also started walking 2 miles a day and working out on my weight machine. I went from 213 to 148 in about 3 months. I feel better and with less weight, I get around better.

    It's a lot of extra work, but it's worth it if you want to recover.

    I've been there, done that, and know what you are going through. It's not easy to do what's necessary, but it's well worth it.

    I wish you well and hope you make a remarkable recovery.

    Joe

    Wow, that was quite the knockout! Prayers from here for sure. Talk to the financial aid offices in those hospitals. If you meet certain income guidelines, they may write off 50%-75%, or even all of those bills.

    Glad you're still vertical.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    No medical advice from this member. I'm not gonna share my own medical history. I'm just gonna include you in our prayers and marvel at how truly blessed you are to have family who loves you and who are willing to help you in your time of greatest need. Without that, you might still be laying in the kitchen and we'd be wondering why you hadn't shared your "what's for supper" posts. I guess we should be thankful to your family too.

    Arrivederci gigi

    Good Lord has ways of getting our attention. With some of us it's easier, but sounds like you're on the right track now. 😁
