sometime around 9am today I was taken via the local meat wagon to the AV
hospital as I didn't even know what date or day it was, my blood suger was
almost 0 and I was heading for a total shut down. I got out of the ER by 1pm
as they had pumped me full of a iv with suger mix and I had eaten before
leaving. Got home by hich hicking by 3pm and this cold spell we're in has me
hurting, I feel every joint in my body telling me about the cold, I had to
light my gas heater and set it at 70 and it's not shut off in the last 3
hours. So on monday I've got to see my doc and get him to sign a deal for me
to get more blood testing supplys as I'm going to have to test 2 times a day
instead of just once.

Hi Dennis:
Been there (during the lean years, long time ago, but I've been
there)...one thing I used to do was use an electric blanket...you can
keep it warm enough to keep you toasty in bed with the heat turned
down, and you will find it really won't draw enough current to make
your electric meter go crazy.

ya, I've got one but I was on the downward fall since sunday and as such I
wasn't thinking right at times so I've got to dig it out and clean it and
then use it.
I just had another 3 hours of sleep but the temp outside is 20F and for me
and my old bones that's a pain in the you know where.

Starlord:
While we have never met, I have followed your musings on this NG for
several years and have the deepest, sincere respect for you.
I don't know what your medical routine is -- but -- get an appointment
with your doc, ask that he draw blood -- tell him you want:
-- a CA-15 blood test
-- a liver enzyme test
-- check your bilorubin
-- and, an ultrasound of your pancreas.
He may piss and moan about the CA-15 but remind him that you are the
patient and you are the one who ultimately decides your own care.
Medicare/Medicaid will pay for these tests.
Are you experiencing:
-- abdominal pain just below the breastbone?
-- diarrhea?
-- loss of weight?
-- loss of appetite?

I go to a local media outfit that has offices here and in Cal city, they
send me down to a lab once a year for a full screening process and as I am
on medical/Medicare it's what the two offer to pay for. Now, as I said in
another post this end of the month I'm down to counting lose change and
checking my bank for anything left in my account. So I was trying to make my
last 3 rolls of ground turkey last until now, most months I have some food
stach set aside for this time, but having gotten a can of the stuff to use
on the roof, only a gal of it was costly but I had to get it and some
sealing calker too. This month was just a bit harder on the old cash flow.
and as such my cats where eating better than me, tonight I've had the last
of the ground turkey in mushroom saue and then some pancakes on top of
another 4 asprin.
Starting to get tire so I've got to take my night time pills and as
everything is re-runs on tv will hit the bed soon.
Oh btw here my sci-fi short storys I've writen:

they are all in html so you can read them online.

Hi Dennis,
I had a hypoglycemic incident myself a few years ago. A combination of not
eating all day followed by heavy excercise and dehydration on top of it. I
passed out and regained conciousness in the ambulence on the way to the
hospital. Follow the advice of you doctor and don't do anything silly like
I did ;0).

As my diabetic younger brother once told me - high blood sugar might
kill you tomorrow but low blood sugar can kill you today. It's tough
when your body quits running on automatic and you have to manage your
blood sugar yourself.
