Sheba BSLs have been all over the place the last few days, but hopefully I will be able to get her back on track soon. She was very good for everyone while I was in hospital. My daughter brought over her children (7, 10 and 11) when she did the insulin injections and they did the BSLs. I had only shown them a couple of times how to do it and I think they had tried to do it once or twice..........but between them they managed to get it each time. They would send me a photo of the syringe with the insulin in it and the BSL number each time!! oh and a photo of Sheba eating her food! On the morning of the surgery I did a +2 just as I was leaving and she had dropped 185 points and the insulin had not even kicked in
........so I gave her a drop of honey and put some 16 carb food in her normal food and hoped for the best.
They were not able to ablate all the spots on my heart that were causing my cardiac arrhythmia as there a few too close to the phrenic nerve. I had the surgery under sedation, not anaesthetic, up through a vein in my leg, but I will have to have the rest done under general anaesthetic because it was too risky to do it under sedation. They also found 2 other arrythmias while they were in there which I was not very happy about at all. I might be able to have them ablated at a later date but they are more complicated and involved.
On Sunday I started to get a very fast and erratic heart beat which lasted for hours so I ended up at the ER and was admitted. I was discharged late in the afternoon but it came back in the evening and I had to go back to the ER again. I had to abort both of Sheba's cycles that day as I had given her the full dose and I wasn't sure what she would do. My DD came over late that evening and between her and DD they took Sheba's BSL...neither had done it before or had been shown....DH used to hold the monitor for me in the beginning that is all. I thought that was pretty impressive!
I rang my normal heart specialist on Monday morning and they fitted me in that day. He said that the heart was reacting to the interference and ablation I had had and was probably a bit swollen and it should settle down in a few days. I am on medication to try and sort it out. I am not allowed to drive or go shopping, drink coffee or have an adult beverage at all this week. It seems to have settled down in the last 36 hours thank goodness. DH has picked up the slack with everything ....he had been so good.
OT. The kids nanny is still in a wheelchair and can't walk yet with her broken foot. I spoke to her the other day and she told me she was driving in the rain(not stopped at lights as first thought ) and a car coming the other way lost control and aquaplaned across the road sideways straight into her. Her car is a write off and she was lucky it wasn't worse for her. The man in the other car had had a few drinks!
