I have recently returned home from a 10 day hospital stay. January 3rd i went to the ER after two whole days of throwing up and not being able to keep food down. I ended up finding that my blood was ketonic and that the ER doctors felt i was close to a coma. I was admitted and thought i would be an overnighter. I was so wrong. From my blood, they had to level out my blood sugars. Even with no food and only an IV my sugars would fluxuate between 180 and 150. Eventually, they said it lead to my stomach becoming paralised and that my intestines were as bad. 10 days, no solid food, just IV and water, throwing up dailey, i have lost 20 pounds off an already frail frame. I am home now at a dismal 117 pounds. I am trying to gain taste for solid food again. But i am still far from that.
The blessing os that i am not dead and i can build on that ever slowly. I also recieved my insulin pump last week so i will have that attatched to me as soon as i am strong enough for it. Another blessing is that i have a friend who has taken care of my dog while I was away and I have a few who will stop in and check on me the next few weeks. I am alive so 2016 will not be all bad.
