IIRC, When Peter Falk was younger he was playing baseball and he didn't like the call the Umpire made so he pulled out his glass eye and said "You need this more than I do!". Btw, if you like Peter Falk, you should watch the movie "Murder By Death". Dementia patients can sometimes become...

Mom is wanting the Dexcom G7 but the doctor's office is trying to find a place that takes her insurance so it won't be as expensive. I think part of the delay is they are also trying to find an insulin pump. Today I messed with Fippy by hugging him and telling him I loved him as he growled at...

I'm hoping we can get the continuous glucose monitor soon. still waiting on that. I still feel like garbage. I need to eat something but I don't really feel hungry. My stomach is empty but I'm slightly nauseous from all the postnasal drip. I managed to get Mom some lobster bisque (bought from...

Sorry for the loss of your friend, Havasu. Mom's blood sugar was 26 this morning. I made a midnight run to Ynotstop to get sugar cookies. Gave her an ice cream sandwich & some marshmallows before heading out. Couldn't find the candy i got her and she didn't want the Relion sugar thingies. She's...

So, first attempt to get the cistern to fill didn't work. Not sure why. Turned power off, let it sit a few hours, turned it back on and it filled. Went in and turned the shutoffs. Heard the pressure tank filling but pump didn't turn on. Went to the house and turned on a faucet. It made a bunch...

Those look awesome, Incognito! Other than coughing so much I puked on myself, I've been stumbling around feeding cats and feeling like crap. Water has been out since the freeze the other night. Yesterday it was too cold and I felt too sick to go check and it never got above freezing. Today its...

That sounds like a problem with scheduling the work from the general contractor's end. Need to schedule it so that workers aren't getting underfoot or ruining the work of others. My guts don't like me today. Not sure if its from the mucus or the metformin or both. Feeling pretty cruddy though...

We had major thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Wind was blowing pretty hard. I picked up a new pressure switch, some dielectric grease, drove up to Lowes to get a new pressure tank (guys on plumbing forums said it sounded like pressure tank problem and the tank is 10 years old). I'd already...

Aaand we have no water. Ugh. Went out a few more times and last time a coupling on the pump came loose, water shot out and made a direct hit on the pressure switch. It has a cover but I doubt the moisture helped. Going to get a new switch and dielectric grease. But the pressure switch was doing...

I finally called my uncle. His grandson flew back from visiting my cousin (his mom) in TX to be there when my uncle got out of the hospital. He helped him put his socks and shoes on, rubbed moisturizer on his feet/legs for him, helped him get up and down, brought him stuff, got him groceries...

Screws through the boards really bother me. Seems like lazy work. Speaking of lazy, I've been resting a bit. Mom doesn't need her sugar checked quite as often lately, although it was down to 40 earlier. She feels like crap if it gets below 80. Got her some apple juice and made a burger for her...

CJ, Wow! That looks beautiful! I was trying to read and reply earlier but the site went down. Guts don't like me today but took some Pepto and hope it works. Mom is using her laptop to watch Youtube videos. She has improved appetite and is walking faster when she goes between her room and the...

yeah, anything is bad if you eat too much. Moderation really is the key. Popcorn has carbs and it gets stuck in my teeth something fierce. I chipped a tooth trying to dislodge some stuck popcorn shell before. We didn't stick to the regular waking schedule. Both night owls so we both slept...

When I was at the height of perimenopause I was using the flashlight on my phone to look for my phone. Also was looking for the remote control while it was in my hand. And when I was exhausted the other day, I set my mouse aside so I could look for my mouse. Things have calmed down a little...

The only nearby nursing homes absolutely suck. Black mold, nurses ignoring patients, etc. Got her sugar down to 205 now-- been checking every so often. She didn't want to take more insulin this time. If she goes to eat something she'll take insulin. She's lucid but tired and wants to sleep...

Been pulling ticks off some of my cats. I hate ticks. So, Mom came home but had to go back to the ER the very next morning. When they made her take a shower the 2nd time she complained that she felt like she accidentally pulled on the string for the stent and that it felt like it came out a...

Yesterday when I drove by the house that gives me garage envy they had a frickin' HELICOPTER in the driveway right in front of the shop garage! Couldn't take a pic bc I was driving. Today I got up early, cleaned my toilet, swept the hallway, swept the kitchen, took out empty boxes, took out...

Well, I'm pretty sure you can't find those boards anymore except maybe on ebay. That's a bummer. Went to visit Mom and brought her a bunch of stuff. Some of it she didn't like so I'll return it to the store. Others she did like. She likes the sleeping cap I got for myself from Amazon better...

Rusty, I hope you get feeling even better now that you've had infusions again and didn't have a bad reaction. My healthiest weight was 150. I was that weight through high school & most of college up until my early 30s when I had a bad ankle injury that impaired my mobility. Was up around 220...

I can't remember the correct term for the things that go on either. Transmitters? I dunno. LOL. I want to get her Dexcom G6 but don't know if her insurance will cover it. They might after this dka incident. When she gets sick her sugar tends to run high even when she doesn't eat. She was mostly...
