Hi Ashley and Everyone,
I have never posted here before and it feels good to do so. I posted you Ashley on another forum about my progress, but it was a few days ago. I have somewhat of a "sucess" story and I wanted to let everyone know and how I got through it.
Sunday night my husband and son went to a fair, they got home late and my husband was not feeling good. An hour later he had a diabetic serious episode, I had the phone in my hand to call the paramedics!! He said no, he was sweating and so weak he did not know where he was at, I ran and got him candy and orange juice, made him a sandwitch and doused him with cold water and put him under a fan, he recovered fairly quickly, if he did not I would of called the paramedics, maybe I just should of anyway?! He did not eat much all day and his sugar was very very low, he said I "saved his life" I dont know about that but I got through this WITHOUT panicking, and it was a serious situation, it makes me feel good I helped someone else and did not think of myself, of course I was a little shaky and upset afterward, I guess anyone would be but I got through it and helped him, I guess I am a little stronger than I think. I wanted to share this. I know everyone would want too know this, it was not easy or pleasant but I am happy I remained strong. My husband has health issues also too like me.
The only downside is I kind of yelled that night, to bring him "around" and wake him and I strained my vocal cords and I am very hoarse again which is kind of scaring me, my voice was doing real well for awhile and know I know I strained my throat and cords, I am going to try not too talk much again, and my leg is tingling bad, but I am trying NOT to dwell on these symptoms, I am praying my voice comes back and the leg heals, it was the one I had phelbitis in so I am concerned but trying not too dwell or get panicky. Just trying to focus on getting stronger and healthier. I am kind of proud of myself for what I did, I am hoping and praying that things get even better, its been a long long haul and I so long for healthy happy days again for myself, for all of us! Thanks Deb.
