Oof...

Another update for all of you. Recently I had a situation where I ended up in the hospital for a couple days. Basically I wasn't watching what I was eating and ended up with a case of Diabetic ketoacidosis. I'm still recovering and trying to stabilize after the hospital stay. This also means I'm in for another lifestyle change. Major diet changes and when I'm feeling a lot better an consistent exercise routine. I also have to 'learn' how to give myself my insulin pen. For the whole duration of taking insulin my husband has been doing it for me because I suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to poking myself with needles. I do perfectly fine with other people doing it ( the nurses in the hospital LOVED me) but I get shaky, stop breathing and can get to the point where I cry when I have to do it myself. So far I have managed to test my sugars with the lancets okay since I got home, but I do notice sometimes at least 10 minutes have gone by before I can actually do it. It's all a work in progress - It is not a change I can do overnight.

Artwork wise it is slow going, motivation is low - generally because my energy is suffering due to side-effects of upped medications. I do have a few things planned to work on but for awhile I'm just going to take it easy.

Thanks for reading "Later gators!"
