[Nfb-krafters-korner] All I need to do...

Is recover from this hand surgery.  Yep, I had it done today.  I did do a
little tricky fibbing, but it worked and I am glad I did it.

My blood sugar was perfecvt, but the last time I went that perfect 92
according to their glucose monitor machine read 57.  So this morning my
sugar was 80 and I really was nervous they would send me home again.  I was
only suppose to take my blood pressure medications and my inhalers for my
asthma.  They only said to take a mouthful of water to get the pills down.
I did all of that and then I have these large tablets for when I have an
insulin reaction.  They kind of dissolve in your mouth and suppose to raise
your blood sugar by 50.  I I ate one of them.  When I got to the hospital my
son was a little pushy and told them to check my blood sugar first.  They
did and it was 127.  The pill did a great job, I never told them I took it
and they did the surgery.Post Op my blood sugar was 195 and by the time I
got home which was like 12 noon I felt it was high.  Well I tested it and it
was HIGH.  When it says High that means it is over 600.  They had given me 2
English muffins with butter and jelly and apple juice.  I took some
scrambled eggs and 18 units of fast acting insulin and by  5 PM my blood
sugar was back down to 120  and sstayed around that the rest of the night.
I have been a brittle diabetic for 57 years and things bounce like this all
the time.  I am sure nerves pushed it up mid day.
