FINALLY got K home from the hospital tonight! What a long, arduous process. She and I started talking in the morning, about when to pick her up. By the time they had done a nurse shift change, measured her glucose, fed her, administered meds, and processed the paperwork, the 3pm estimated discharge time had turned into 6pm. Then by the time we got to Walgreens to pick up her prescription, their pharmacy was closed, so we went a few miles down the road, to the 24 hour pharmacy. By the time we got out of that Walgreens, with the usual and various complications, it was 9pm. SO tired...
All hail the great hospital doctor. Their sliding scale for insulin was going to kill her, if they didn't discharge her soon. Would be nice if they paid attention to mine. They were giving her much more insulin than I felt was appropriate for her measured glucose levels. I told them to subtract 150 from Blood Glucose, and divide the result by 150. So instead they gave her 9 units for a BG of 350. No wonder she kept crashing in the mornings.
