603 and 323

Good news first… 603 is my tonight’s tally on my FB friends, and hooray to that! And thank you all!

The 323 is a last night’s nightmare of my glucose number that caused me to have to call the wonderful on call RN to come back to my home from hers way down in Fort Myers to give me an insulin shot, because as many of you know that glucose number is not a good one!
But to the good within a short time it went to 312, then to 271 by the time she arrived from her hour haul, and by the time she left I think it was down to 237 or there about.
The six unit dose apparently was sufficient to do the job, because by this morning very early at five thirty A.M., I told you I’m an early riser, it was all the way down to 105, and this afternoon, 160 at 2:45 P.M. then down to 156 by four P.M. so we still are monitoring it, but have three syringes one of 2 units and two others of four units each if necessary. I did just finish dinner at five thirty, what can I say we are in our sixties so we eat early, haven’t any of you heard of early-bird dinners?
So it will be checked once more or so if need be in a few hours.

Foolishly I told my FB friends about my situation, and I think I may have turned many of them off, because for all the sympathy I did get was less than two percent of the FB Friends group, oh well. I suppose that sociology test did not go too well.
Revealing TMI is too overwhelming and proved to be an embarrassment to myself and many others, especially when I elaborated on about the details!
Reality check and note to self NEVER give too much away, mystery is much better than too much info! Feeling stupid is not that unfamiliar to me, been there done that too, too many times before! Agh!

Fortunately, having been in this situation before it is refreshing in many ways since I do know that this to will pass. Personal history is almost as good a learning experience or tool as world or American history!
But what I have just proven even when we do learn it we are on occasion doomed to repeat it! HA!

Carrying on in this vein of harping on health issues is not what I wanted to do with this Blog regularly, but when you haven’t been out and about for a while this is all I got right now to discuss with all of you, so for that I am truly sorry. What I would like is to know about local venues having something indoors in the air-conditioning going on that I can scooter around at? And Hubby and I would be there in a flash! You betcha!

Who said this writing thing would be easy night after night, although I did for a short period of time deviate from all this boring health business. After reading the online paper this morning I found a mistake in the one section, and OH NO, this is not going to make any of you happy because yes it was maudlin, I do read the obituaries on occasions, sadly my reason is because when I did volunteer for all those years the mean ages of my friends were around seventy-five since I did work with seniors and fifteen years later and me being out of that world of that now for nearly two years I wonder if they are still with us or not, got it?
Any-who, this morning the online section of obits had the police blotter arrests on it not the dearly departed and so I contacted the editorial department but the head of it instead of the online editor, which was an enormous faux pas, but you see I had not done this sort of thing in quite some time and I forgot that the new guy was in-charge of the online items. Sincerely I just wanted them to be aware of the mistake there was no malice intended, and so I do apologize to him. Boy what a big ooops!
I did receive two emails about the issue first from the head editor and then from his under-counterpart saying that it was straightened out right away! Oh well, talk about a bad day…we all have them, but look at it this way “tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your/my life?" LOL! An oldie but a goody!

On that silly note I will bid you all a much happier day tomorrow even if this one was great and also for your night to be happy as well, and don’t forget to count those blessings and we will too!

PS Mr. Pres. you and Sasha looked like you had one wonderful swim in the Gulf, we all really loved that picture, a so happy daddy and daughter one, brought back some of my own memories of me and my dad! Gosh I’m tearing up…
