And When I Awoke I Was Dead
Been rolling around since 4 am. Finally got up at five. Started doing stuff. Felt strange, weak, trouble breathing. Took my blood glucose. As I was doing it, I lost my vision. Everything turned white. Managed to see the number. 38! On death's door. Drank a coke as fast as I could. Am recovering now, but am weak.

I could have died in my sleep. Thankful I got out of bed. Once everything turned white, I knew I was heading for coma.

I'm okay. I'll be okay. I must be okay. Don't want to die and make the downstairs neighbors happy.

Are you okay now for sure? Do you have to go to an emergency room or somewhere to see a doctor? That would scare me. Is it because you didn't eat?

I have 'Brittle' diabetes. That means blood glucose results are all over the place, despite the amount of insulin or diet. Just happens.

Katlupe, I posted this just to get your caring response. Thank you, thank you very much. I'll gradually be better throughout the morning.

I feel safe here, knowing people would help here if this were an actual emergency.
 

Putting dishes away right now, then the laundry that dried in the shower. Washing the NuWave oven. Later when my neighbors are up I will do the vacuuming. I am still working on my pile of papers and bill paying. I hope to get those jobs completed today. In between the other chores.

I am making the effort to do all the home therapies I need to do for my Lymphedma. I had to research it on my own because even my Lymphedema therapist said, the doctors don't know what to tell you about it. Compression, massage, deep breathing, magnesium foot soaks and putting your feet up several times a day at least an hour at a time.

I wish you lived in my building here. I would keep an eye on you.

I will be going to look for another place. Rent where we live just sent to $1126! I will not stay for sure. Whether he likes my idea or not, I am not sticking around waiting for the rent to rise to another unaffordable price! I hope my hometown will have a place.

I so hope you find a nice place that will work for you.
So much is getting out of reach.
Good luck in your search.💐.
 
Today it was sunny and cold. I took the car to the nearest large town 15 miles away which has an affordable Car wash.. £5.50 there compared to £15 here... no contest, especially as I had to drop some donations off at the Charity store, and also go to Costco, and a town department store there too.. ..

Filled up the Tank with fuel.. it was already a third full but given that the Rail workers have announced today they're going on strike all over Christmas week, ( :mad: ).. it will mean the roads will be choc-a-bloc with traffic, and will very likely create at the very least long queues for fuel if not even a fuel shortage.. I thought it best to get my tank filled while I can..

Bought myself some fleece /fur lined Leggings.. from Costco..

... and after many months of not having Hot dogs at the cafe, Finally they had them today.. and even tho' the queue was long I couldn't resist having one.. and a coke..


Got some Christmas food goodies from M&S food Hall.. and put them all away with the others I got last week..

Now it's dark ( 5.35 pm ).. it's feeling really cold, so I've put the heating on, and I'll turn it off after an hour because that will cost me about £10... just for an hour... and I'm going to go and make some Beer Battered Cod for dinner..

@Aneeda72 and @Pepper The two of you need to get better and stay better. Please?

Guess what? I not only have next week off, I get to start my vacation with a day off on Saturday. And I have Christmas Eve off, too! Woohoo and stuff.

Volunteered to work New Year's Day because I don't mind getting up and going to work that day since I don't "do" New Year's Eve. It's just another evening to me. Made Sir happy and will likely make Newbie happy, too.

As we speak there's a tuna casserole in the oven. Comfort food because it's a really yucky, rainy, foggy, dreary day. I even put crushed potato chips on top just like Mom used to do. She also put sliced hard-boiled eggs in it...🤮...but I didn't. Ew. DGD doesn't like peas. Tough. It's got peas. She isn't likely to eat anything that doesn't come from a drive-thru anyway. More for me:)

@oldaunt Pffft. Just have your chauffeur go fetch your prescriptions for you;)

That tuna casserole is just what the doc would have ordered if she'd been ordering something for me. I had a lebkuchen cookie for dessert. It was good, too. Maybe I'll have another one😋
