I'm home in Hervey Bay!

docs got my levels close to balanced and not spiking up and down so was able to get out this morning. Flew home at noonish and now im sitting with Floydd and Bluey enjoying (?) the rain. Drop is on and we are making Pumpkin soup cause its that kind of day.

So to bring you up to date. I'm a full on insulin dependant diabetic until futher notice.  I'm going this direction beacuse they might be able to figure out tablets for me but by the time they get it sorted I'll be going back on Prednisone and that messes up the doses so I might as well go on to insulin now as I will  have to in a few weeks anyway. I have insulin pens and a new test meter that has a log book.  The big change is that I'm really going to have to watch my food. I need to be eating consistently the same amount of carbs at the same time and take my insulin at every meal and before bed at the same time. That may be tricky but I have to do it,

They are stilll looking at my Potassium levels and I had to take this concoction that tastes and fell like drinking  half water half chalk. Blood test Monday shoud tell us if the crap drink worked.

I have to do this all again in 4 weeks

I swing from the Cyclophosfomide to Prednisone and it starts with three days of Intravenous Pred and the Endochronologist Dr, Who wants toe be around to halp me fix the new levels. of insulin.  I'll have to be in hospital from Sept 16 to and including the 19th.

In the meantime my GP and I will be watching my tests and adjusting little bits to get me sorted till Sept.
