Chapter 69: Don’t I wish?
Wednesday, August 11th, 2021
Where to start? It’s been an interesting last few months. The highlight being that I thought I was in the middle of a fit and told my kids to call an ambulance. Nothing of the sort, my blood sugar was 834 and climbing. I found out I was a diabetic, who knew?
It was like this: if you’ve noticed Mt.Dew figures into a lot of my stories. That’s because I drank it constantly. I had finally convinced my self to slow down or stop it and was drinking fruit juice in it’s place. I overwhelmed my system and boom hospital trip. I was there for two or three days. My last days there I was in this awesome room that was huge, quiet and under lit. They had a fan they let me use to blow air on my face. I slept almost two days. They woke me up for their tests and food. Other than that, I slept. I didn’t want to leave I was so comfortable. Over twenty grand in the hole later I still say it was the most restful sleep I had in months.
What was sad is a driver T-boned my two daughter’s as they left from seeing me and the ambulance brought them right back. My kids are OK they had some bruises and stuff. Nothing serious. What did suck is the female driver totaled my daughter’s car. She also didn’t bother to be insured so my kids will have to sue her.
