Got home last night from being with my father. They say it can be anywhere from NOW until 3 months. I stayed as long as I could, seeing I have two chidren of my own.
I had a good visit with him. He was alert a good percent of the time, he was able to write out a "blessing" for me and my kids' since he doesn;t know if he has a tomorrow.
Interesting news with me; while there, the Hospice nurses noticed how shakey I was in the mornings (I told them anxiety!). They decided to monitor my blood sugar.
My bloog sugar was from between 65-80 in the mornings, i would eat- it would hit 160-180, it would drop down around 70 again, and in the afternoon's would sometimes be around 220.
So... the Hospice nurses think I could be a diabetic.
I am headed to the dr. now for a fasting blood test- they've never given me one before. They just drew blood before and said it was fine.
If it is diabetes, it might explain a WHOLE lot of things; and possibly even this anxiety issue has been a blood sugar issue.
We shall see.
I'll update you more when I return.
