In the Hospital, day 3: The saga continues

I am doing SO much better today!! First let me say, I am posting the same notice too all the boards I keep up with, sorry about the duplicate postings but my fingers are really sore. They check my blood surgar ever 4 hours. It seems tat after years of being diagnosed with boarderline diabeties, it was full blown for the first 2 days and had to have insilun shots. I have been below 140, usually round 100 to 130, and it gets lower every day. Blood pressure is still a little high, 134/95 last check, but they tell me it also will go down as I loose weight. Some of you asked about my Effexor and Buspar, for depression and anxiety, they gave thim to me in pill form, they are both very small pills, the Effexor is NOT the time released ones I usually take. J tube coming out to day. NG tube came out on Tuesday, Meals are getting easier to get down, wlking the halls 4 or 5 times a day. NO MORE cath!!! Peeing goes smoothely. Now waiting for the gas I can feel and nurses and Dr. can hear with stethscope. But, most of the last times, I was held an extra day cause I couldn't go!! Once they even ended up giving me a enema. But I guess that is TMI!!! But once I can get the bowels to move, I can check out of the hospital. Patty
