Yesterday's condo
11/2 AMPS 92,+6.5 84, PMPS 77,+2 56,+4 69,+7 75
Well...it's been a hell of a day! Wasn't planning on adjusting China's insulin until tomorrow, but at about 1pm DM called saying she was really weak, cold, clammy and wasn't feeling well at all. I ran over there and she was pale and clammy and literally couldn't push off the chair with enough strength to get out of it, so I ended up calling the ambulance to come get her and take her to the hospital
Followed her up to answer all the questions I know she can't remember and ended up there until 5:30'ish (shot time is 6 and it's an hour drive) so China got her insulin 30 minutes late....guess it's as good a time as any to go ahead and move forward so we can "fall back" on Saturday!
They couldn't find anything wrong so sent her back home....her ECG, bloodwork, chest x-ray, urinalysis, exam....everything was normal (as normal as it ever is considering she's in stage 4 kidney failure)....they said she was a little dehydrated so gave her a bag of fluids and that's it
Only thing I'm thinking (hoping) is that maybe yesterday's physical therapy evaluation tired her muscles out a lot more than you'd think and today's problems were related to that but I guess we'll have to wait and see. She's supposed to go to PT tomorrow (as well as her usual hair appointment). We'll see how she feels tomorrow!
It's going to be a long night though....I'll call every hour or so to make sure she's OK until I know she's in bed
Man...sitting in the ER all afternoon is really hard on a body so this mamabean is tired!!
