Crazy Update on Me

Life changed around here last Monday night.  I went to the ER as I wasn't feeling well.  I had a bladder and sinus infection that I had been fighting for almost a week and just couldn't seem to get rid of them.  I was drinking gallons of water and any liquid I could get my hands on, I felt achy all over and my eyes were blurry.  As soon as I walked in and described my symptoms, they checked me over and also my blood sugar level.  They hooked me up to an IV and started draining my blood!!!  Test results indicated a blood sugar level of 987!!!  Turns out the dreaded family diabetes had finally caught me after all.  I stayed in the hospital until Wednesday.  Hospital food is horrible but even worse when you have diabetes.  I have been resting at home trying to get the sugars under control.  I finally got them into the high 100's yesterday after a few medicine changes. It should return to a normal range within a few weeks.  My vision is slowly returning and I can drive now.  My doctor is confident that I can get this under control.  I hope to eventually manage this without any medication at all just by diet and exercise.  Dallas is fascinated with watching me give myself shots and check my blood sugar.  I swear this kid is going to be a doctor.
