First of all, thank you for all the encouraging and loving comments in my previous post. You all help me get through the day, and I mean that.
Secondly, I had a rough night last night. I couldn't fall asleep until about 2:00 AM or so, and woke back up at 5:00 in a muck sweat (as my hubby would say). I had a bad dream, and felt just ill. I turned over onto my right side and did fall back asleep after awhile and slept about a half hour. Got up and went to the bathroom around 6:00 and laid there, awake, for quite awhile. Finally, when it was light, I fell asleep again. Bear let me sleep until 10:00 -- would have let me sleep longer but my aide was here and has to leave at 11:40.
When I did get up, I felt nauseated and rough. Not sore as much as just rough. I think there were toxins built up in my muscles that got released yesterday, and that always makes me ill. Whenever I start any exercise program, be it arms, or swimming, this happens. My blood sugar was high all day yesterday, after exercising and finally got it down to 170 at bedtime. When I awoke, it was back up to 239! And I feel it.
I've taken more insulin this afternoon, as it is still at 217 even after taking a hefty load at breakfast. It should NOT be this high.
I need to get Emmie's quilt done, but I feel so awful that I am not making any progress. I don't know what Alvin is going to suggest tomorrow, but I'm not looking forward to more exercise at all. He had me using 3 lb weights in each hand for some exercises, and I told him I use 1 lb. Maybe he'll let me use those tomorrow.
Anyway, wanted to keep everyone posted. It is scary to feel so bad and not really have any reason for it, except for the fibromyalgia toxic dump. that's bad enough!
