..... since I was trapped in the hospital for a week. I was honestly ill for a few weeks before it got to the point where it was too much and my roommate drove me to the hospital. Sorry, not a hospital, but an emergency care center. So they have to take me to a WORKING hospital (the one he thought he took me to wasn't fully opened). Which if he listened to me and drove me where I told him to it wouldn't have had to worry about an extra charge tacked on to my medical bills (which have not yet to arrive). So I had a blood sugar level of nearly 800 which is about 10 times what it is supposed to be and was diagnosed with DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis). I was not until I was out and did research on it to know how serious it was. So I am thankful that I'm still alive and kicking actually. But for now I'm on medication and getting my life back in order once again. So I went in on Sept. 10th and left on the 17th the stayed with my folks for a week to start things off.
My blood sugar has gone back down to near normal levels now with my medication so I have gotten in a bit of a better mood. My body had gotten much weaker from not being able to move around while i was laid up in the hospital. Even now I know that I am not yet back at 100% strength. The best part of being in the hospital is that I lost a massive amount of weight and luckily it is staying off and even dropping with the strict diet I have placed myself on. Well enough about me, I ended up getting that promotion I was working for... more on that later..
