well today has not started out well.Celestine who is a Type 1 diabetic,she had an extremely low blood sugar( she was not responding to me).I used an emergency injection to bring up her sugar levels.She was not responding well and I called for an EMS squad.They arrived here gave her some glucose gel in addition to what I did.While this was going on I ended up having a seizure.They wanted to transport bot of us to the hospital.we refused the transport.due to the fact all the hospital would have done was to "monitor" us and send us back home costing us $100.00 bucks each in co-pays. Every thing was fine by 8:45 am.We both had to sign electronic paper work saying that we were refusing to be transported AMA(against medical advice).

I'm sorry Mike. That's a rotten way to start the day. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic also and those lows are scary!
WOW! So sorry to hear that, but Im glad that your both ok. I hope that you get some rest tonight. Maybe you can celebrate another day.
That is so sad. I am so glad that you are better.
You're in my prayers.
I hope the day is better now. Got of to a rocky start you both did. I'll pray for the both of you.
Have a terrific rest of the day Mike. Big hug. :)
Gosh, so sorry Mike. Hope you both are feeling better. Those dastardly medical bills keep people from going for treatment.
I'm so sorry you both had bad morning
I am glad I started celebrating your birthday early ... I hoped it would bring you some joy. I am so sorry to hear about the pains you and your beloved wife is suffering. God bless both of you.
Mari,that was no fun this mornig for sure.especially when you feel a cold and totally wet arm next to you.
AIR,we will be Ok.Friday(91/22/09) is Officially my Birthday,and I'm getting a home made surf and turf dinner and cake. How luck can on person be?
Just Breathe,it just takes time for the treatments to work for Celestine.
Catherine,thank you.
Sandee,Thank you.The day for me has not been great.I'm glad that we have each other to helps each other when we need it.
Audrinna,this juts happens,we have no control on when and where a low blood sugar or a seizure will happen.We just have to be ready to deal with it.That's all we can do.
Matty,once we were feeling better there was really no need to go to the hospital.the E/R really don't do muck and cost an arm and a leg.Not exactlly my cup of tea.
Amias,We celebrate a lot of things on a daily basis.One is my soberity,Celestine quite drinking as well.she did not have to I was the dependant one.She quite to help support me in my quest to stay sober.Just as I made several adjustments in what I would eat and drink in order to make it easier for her.I guess that's why on 2 March 2009 we will be Celebrating our 30th Wedding Anaversary.
That really is a lousy start to the day. I hope you are both feeling better shortly.
my prayers are lifted for you and celestine. may tomorrow be a brighter day.
