Another procedure

K checked in for another surgical procedure at Swedish Medical Center, to remove some pre-cancerous tissue this morning, less than 1mm deep. She had a low BG before surgery, and we caught it before she felt it. The surgery went well. They got what they wanted to get. It took several hours before she was ready to leave. Somewhere in there, her BG went low again, even worse than before. By that time, she was awake, and doing OK, so they were able to feed her a bunch of snacks to bring it back up. She was supposed to go in for the afternoon hyperbaric oxygen treatment, but unfortunately, those people never updated their calendar, after she called them last week to reschedule, so they didn't have any openings. Administrative fail. Again. This is perhaps the 4th time they've really messed things up for her. I got her home safe by mid afternoon. She was still awake, but very sleepy. Wasn't able to get her to Dialysis i time, but at least I got her there.
