the past ten or so days have been somewhat trying.

 

At this point last week, I was enjoying my first full day in the hospital

as much as one can enjoy their time in the hospital

 

I had a hunch when I drove myself to the ER, I would be staying

so I packed a bag with the essentials

extra drawers

shorts

t-shirt

phone & charger

ipod & charger

NDS & charger

 

and of course my own personal assortment of toiletries

cause to be honest, that nonsense they give you to wash

up with in the hospital

is just plain nonsense

 

 

So I spent my time on the IV

taking pills

taking more pills

being hooked up to more IVS

and generally lamenting the fact I had to 

sit on my ass and burn precious sick time

 

but I am fortunate in the fact I did not need to have anything 

removed

or scraped or trimmed etc.,

yet another warning shot across my bow

but life has changed somewhat

as I am, "on the needle" now

and as far as I can tell, things seem to be going well

 

but again its an adjustment 

and its hard 

and not in a good way

my dad is right

when you have diabetes

you have to keep your mind occupied at all times 

cause honestly idle hand DO the Devil's work 

even if that work is only a sammich

 

Cause you can rationalize yourself out of a piece of carrot cake/bowl of ice cream/candy bar

but to say no to a turkey & cheese sandwich 

when your stomach is YELLING at you

that my friend is a completely different  story

 

So...I read and write and listen to podcasts 

and game 

and facebook

and dream of being able to work and work out again

can't rush things though

one day at a time

full steam ahead

 

 

I hope you all are well.

 

Cheers, 

JJ
