Lows

We're doing something wrong, not sure how to fix it. K's been having a series of low morning blood glucose readings, and they really wipe her out. We try to never let her BG get below 90, but the past week we've seen 55, 41, 38, and now 48 this morning. The rest of the day usually consists of wild swings into the frighteningly high range, sometimes pinning the meter at its highest possible reading of 600. This lack of BG control is very disheartening.

Up and down

K was feeling much better yesterday. But today's a new day. She's struggling back from a low (37) BG now, while still hoping to make it out today, to order new glasses for 2011. Not likely.

Ugh cramps

K had a miserable day yesterday, all muscles cramping badly all day and night. She started worrying about her heart, with all the other muscles cramping so badly. She said it's somewhat better today. Suspecting dehydration.

Busy day

Busy day. K had three appointments. She told the oncologist she's having a pretty good week. The endocrinology lady told her to listen to her husband. ;-) The orthotics guy worked on her CROW boots so they will help instead of hurt her feet. Then we took M&B to the Hollywood theater to watch True Grit, while having dinner up in their elegant Skybox seating.

Day lost

Boo. I just lost a day to something particularly nasty, probably a Flu. I'd forgotten just how awful that feels.

Healing

Good visit at the Ortho Dept. yesterday. K's toe surgery is healing well. She has wounds on her other foot that need to be watched.

Mikele and Bob have been here for a week now. They've been fighting colds, so we've been taking things slowly. Bob and I got out for a short walk today along the Platte river, followed by a late lunch at Panera Bread. Mandy liked the new enclosed patio there. Then we checked out Verizon's new Galaxy Tab, pretty cool. The new Apple MacBook Air is also pretty awesome. Hmmm...
