A few weeks ago my daughter got married. I was so happy that day. But I felt like crap. After the wedding comes the reception. I was sooo hungry. I pigged out. On the menu was finger foods. There was raw veggies and ranch dip. cheese wrapped with ham. Potato chips. and a assortment of every kind of drink you could imagine. mostly the soda variety. But yes there was alcohol there too. But I wasn't interested in that just the darn food. It's a wonder I didin't bust after stuffing what i did down.
But just like all that food came to a end so did my feeling like eating or doing much of anything afterwards. I had such a headache I felt like someone was taking a hammer to the back of my head. Plus I got ill to my stomach. Lost everything I ate. Then all hell broke loose when I got home. Yes I felt better the first couple days after getting home. You always feel better when your at home. Because the wedding was out of town I was very glad to be home. I put everything on the back burner, and just called my ill health a quirk because after all I never even got a chest cold. So I was thinking I was due to get something. So I called it a bug that of all days to get it was on my daughters wedding day. I never gave it another thought.
Two days later I feel like crap again. I felt like I had done a marathon around the world none stop. I was so drained that even going to the bathroom was a chore. One day after that I was in bed. I stayed in bed till my daughter showed up, and took one look at me and said "Mom your going to the hospital." I spent two days in bed till she showed up.
meanwhile on to the hospital I go and as much to my surprise the doctor says you have double pneumonia, and I suspect you have diabetes too. I wasn't even coughing. That doctor floored me. I spent almost five days there while they ran the test on me. They did the fasting glucose diet crap, and the very first finger test they did was 221. Next thing I knew they said they had to get very accurate readings so they started drawing blood after that.
My first doctors visit after going home confirmed the diabetes.
Did I mention that Diabetes sucks?
