Well, I finally got my bill straightened out and I feel a lot better because it is also the time for the final payment for our November cruise and I wanted the right amount to be in the account. I love that you can go on line and see what is going on in your account. So now I can relax till I get home on Sunday. Enough about that.
Wednesday was another full day for Maggie and me. The morning was full of classes and sessions. We also had some small group sessions and I really enjoyed that. We went to both pool sessions and as we are in the outside pool, I got a little pink from the sun. It has been in the 90’s here but there is no humidity, so it is OK. After supper, Maggie and I just went for a ride to see if we could find the movie theatre that we use to go to. It is amazing how much building has gone on here.
We did have a little excitement last night. Around 11:30, Maggie knocked on my room and said she was ill, could I come out and help her. She is diabetic and took an insulin shot before she went to bed. She woke up and she was sweating profusly. She took her sugar on her machine and it was 56 – very low and very bad! I got in the car and went looking for a 7-11. There isn’t one nearby so I drove to 3 or 4 gas stations and of course, they were closed. I finally found an Exxon that closes at midnight. I got some orange juice, crackers, and chocolate milk. Once she ate, her numbers went up and she was feeling Ok and we went back to bed. Everything was fine today but I was so glad that Pat Watters had warned me years ago what to do if a diabetic’s sugar goes too low.
Today, we once again, had a full schedule and then this evening I had another massage. So I am as loose as spagetti and think I should go to bed soon. We are watching the team from Warner Robins playing in the Little League World Series but I might watch the end of it from bed. I think I’ll write tomorrow.
Diabetes is tricky! Pop is learning how sugar can affect everything from appetite to mood. One of the good outcomes from his surgery is his personalized education on the subject. I LOVE his home health nurse!!!
