wow made a mess of my insulin on friday normaly i take 60 mg at 060 .00 and then take ano0ther 60 mg at 18 00 thas it for the day'
Friday I took the 60 dose at 0600 then i took another dose at 18 00 then for some unexplanable reason i took another dose when i went to bed at 20.00 of 60mg
I woke up at 0200 for a wee and felt "very out of it." altogether .My legs and arms wouldnt work together and i was just woozy and fighting through cotton wool mist. anyway i checked my blood sugar expecting about 12mg and got 2,6mg going downwards what a fright, silly old sod!!.
good job the good LORD had me on his radar and nudged me I called the ambulance people while i could still wisper who and what i was doing and they sent a paramedic round in a fast car , the first time i every had one of those nypho things and hopefuly it will be the last. I have a new regime in place for insulin managment now.
I felt a right prat and have had to get my neighbours involved to have a caller at least one every hour just to see i still upright. anyway i have mamged to get through he day but i have felt very "on the edge" all day and have done nowt.
Oh dear!!! I am ill enough with the cancer enemy without making another "enemy at the gate" through stupidity.and i still am not clear of the effects of it.
I gonna lie down!.
My skin is tearing off where the nurse did the blood removasl needle wednesday and i am carrying little bruises where i have touched the door or leant on the desky I am a mass of bruisesnow all trying to puff up and roll off the top skin. I dont know if this is chemo or not!.my dodtor is not happy with me refusing the mexican flu jab he says if i get it vithout the vaccine protection i will not have a hope of recovery but the chemo room are equaly adamant that i shouldnt have it while on chemo treatment.as my white blood cells are very low.
one doctor ashed ne if i can cut my warfarin down by three she doesnt want thin blood bleeding into my lung tumour, fair enough ,
then one of the others comes along and askes if i can increase my warfarin to seven a day as she doesnt want my blood clotting round the site of my tumour .
how the h can i suit both of them and how can they both treat the same problem with opposing actions. so i have left it at five mg a day
why does everything have to be more complicated than we can understand?.I can only leave the decision to the good LORD to influence somebody to take the right course. I know he will.
