it's been a day. My uncle has been rehospitalized after falling at home. Mostly he's been noncompliant and has fallen multiple times and now has so much fluid around his brain he needs to have it tapped. Not even sure he'll survive that. His home is two stories with the main house up and the apartment below with a will-kill-you-if-you're-not=careful staircase in between. He keeps going up and down in spite of being on a walker and it's like OMFG why?

In the meantime in somewhat better news we went to visit my favorite older gen cousin who (sigh) has been put in senior living because she has the beginnings of dementia and is a fall risk (she put herself there willingly unlike my uncle who is refusing to go to one)

It was a very nice visit. A puppy tried to eat my necklace and a resident wouldn't stop hugging me (He's a 66 y.o. with down syndrome among other things, barely verbal) My cousin warned me he loves hugging and so he did. A lot. Me, mom, dad, my cousin.

And then it was a nightmare are the pharmacy when my insurance did it again, refused to cover a med they have been covering all year. It doesn't work that well (Januvia) and was 550$. I'm like keep it. I'm not even going to bother with switching it. I'll talk to my endocrinologist and just have her d/c it for me. And somehow I'm out of toujego refills

Woke up from a bad dream. Had to pee. Seems like a fuse blew out (because there's nothing nervous-inducing like realizing that happened while you were asleep) Then I realized my stomach was growling and I was shaking. I tried to ignore that then decided no, go test your sugar. You just upped your insulin to the full dose (doc said, let's hope this won't crash it. it might but shouldn't. After three days at slightly less with no change I said okay up to my usual dose)

my sugar is 55. well it was about a half hour again. I was a little too incoherent to type then. I was barely able to figure out how to suck on my dissolving sugar pills. I've had a full meal more or less now (if you call cheese bread, a hot dog, a baby bel cheese wheel and some PB a meal)


naturally I have to be up very early today to get to work so now I'll b e up all damn morning. Unfair. Feeling a little stable now but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about lying down and shutting my eyes.
