TEST STUDY..

I went today for a 2nd visit for a low sugar test study.  I failed..... 

they aborted the study before it was completed.  It started about 9 with glucose going in and blood work coming out.  And then about 10:30 I drank 1 bottle of ensure.. strawberry.. yummie.

Well... I started getting foot cramps.. and they progressed..  I then had to (go #2) too and it wasn't going to be pleasant..   so I did manage to get on a port-a-pot before I ****ted myself.   Once back in bed.. cramps continued until at one point both feet were pointing straight out.. I couldn't bend them.. and calf muscles were tighter than.. well..  TIGHT.  I was practically crying in bed.. telling them to DO SOMETHING..  they aborted. 

She said I should have it checked as to why I get feet/leg cramps.. altho nothing EVER THAT SEVERE..  she said it could be low potassium.. low calcium (guilty).. and dehydration (guilty).

Anywho.. I'm not going back for the follow up study.  She said she'd hate to put me thru that again.  And I agreed!!  Soooo.. that's how I celebrated my 2 years of being sober..  thank you God for keeping me humble.. and not letting me **** myself..

God IS good!!! I am so glad you didn't "pull a Papa".....My kids tease all the time with my dad cause he, well sometimes can't make it to the bathroom on time and does a number in his britches.....so if one of us farts and it sounds a little juicey (Y'ALL know what I'm talking about) they say "hey did you pull a papa?" LOL

Funny, when you get older, you regress to infancy.....can't walk very well, can't talk very well, no normal slepp pattern, don't eat very much, have very few teeth and go the bathroom in your pants. CANT wait to become a senior I tell ya!!!



Oh yeah, I love you too. Sorry you went through that, sounds like a miserable time.

I am so sorry to hear you are having problems.  I keep having constipation issues, so I am seeing a specialist next month that specializes in gastric bypass patients. 

I will keep you in my prayers sweetie!

Love and Hugs
