Diabetes

Holly now has diabetes. That’s not all. She’d been getting worse and worse over the last week, so she got the bright idea to get a blood sugar monitor. Thank holy living fucking hell, because the first reading (early this morning) was 448, while a half hour later it was off the meter (600 ).

Normal range is under ~100. The go-ahead-and-freak-out-now point is 250 .

She’s in hospital now, where she’ll be overnight, possibly two nights.

Poor sweet thing… she’s suffered so much. I thought i could handle this until that very thought crossed my mind driving home to pick up some stuff. I choked up a little on that.

She’ll be alright, though. She’s at a great hospital and they’re doing good with her and she’s slowly starting to feel better.

Three words: STEM CELL RESEARCH. Make it happen, Mr. Bush.

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
