This is my dad slee…..visiting me last night! Shhh he does not know I took his picture.

Never enough sleep in a hospital. I have been awake since about 2:00 am. First it was to have my blood sugar checked, then it was to have respiratory therapy to come in and for me to have a breathing treatment, shortly after that, I had to have some insulin injections. At least I can get an early start on my blogging today!!

My blood sugar is still in the 300’s, so my wish right now is that the Hospitalist who is working on the diabetes part of things does not decide to put me on an insulin drip. If that happens, I found out that I would probably have to go to ICU.

I do have some good news though. I am only partially IV’d up now. I now need fluids,so that part of things was disconnected. I just have the IV needle in my hand with a small amount of tubing. They use it to give me the steroids. The only time I will have to be hooked back to the full IV thing is about five this evening when I get my antibiotics. When I was hooked up to oxygen I was given a huge amount of tubing so I can go to the restroom still hooked up to oxygen. So I just feel better now that I can move around more, and now that I am not having to drag my IV pole around, I am not losing my breathe as much.

My chest is still tight. I know that it will continue to improve.

Have a good day, neighbors!
