In which I make yet more excuses for my spotty presence and also talk about life with the sensor

Feb 14, 2011 15:45

Okay, so it's been a rough several weeks. Aside from the fact that it's still winter and there is still snow on the ground, I've also been dealing with T's blood sugar being all over the place and my own health issues that severely impact my ability to function. It takes all the energy I have just to take care of the day-to-day basics. ( Read more... )

I hope things continue to level out for you guys. Happy Valentine's Day. :-)

Thanks. If I can just get rid of these headaches and not be so debilitatingly exhausted all the time, that would help a lot.

Wow, that's a lot to have on your mind, and I'm sure it's not helping your own health to have so little sleep -- (((HUGS)))! I really hope that things even out with the sensor soon and that you get some sleep (and heal up)!

No, the sleep deprivation definitely doesn't help, especially since extreme fatigue is one of the symptoms of my medical issues.

Even if things don't even out with the sensor, I'd still much rather have it working correctly only half the time than not have it at all. Because at least if it's working correctly half the time, that's more real-time data to work with than we had before.

Yikes! Sounds like you're having a tough time of it lately. EXCELLENT JOB with the writing!! Kudos to you for finding/making the time for it, even amidst all you're dealing with. :)

I hope you and T are doing better soon.

Thank you. I'm so happy to be writing again. It's been years since I've gone this long without it. I figure even if I only get a couple of sentences on some days, it's something.

Wow, that's a lot to deal with at once. *HUGS* Sounds like the writing is going well though, which is great. I hope things level out soon!

fandoria February 15 2011, 04:00:45 UTC

Thanks. Yes, the writing is definitely a bright spot. It's such a relief to be back at it again after being away for so long.

That's so great about your writing! I hope the chunk-writing method continues to work for you. :)

So sorry about all your troubles, though. That 56 is scary! I sometimes wake up with blood sugars that low (if not lower), and it always freaks me out, because if I hadn't woken up, something bad DEFINITELY would've happened. At least the sensor, despite its issues, is helping you guys when it comes to things like that!

I think the chunk writing is going to be a huge help in getting this first draft finished.

Nighttime lows are awful! I'm glad you're able to wake up each time. T can't wake up from his without some effort on my part. Thankfully, the only nighttime low he's had since we started the sensor (and by that I mean ones that happen after I've gone to bed since I always check him before I go to sleep), the alarm went off for it and he was just barely low.
