Hi folks, it's good to be back, but unfortunately with some new "Tools". Seems like some things followed me home yesterday from the Hospital, like puncturing, testing, and injecting tools, fueling plan, (dieting), etc, and that's what prompts this post.
I know we all complain at times about the Poor quality of our Tool instruction Manuals, but these recent additions have got the WW tool manuals beat hands down for complexity and lack of cross referencing and in many cases directly opposing or contradicting information. Between the hospital nursing staff's procedures, the Diabetic education center rep, the dietician edu staff, and the Dr's instructions, (all with their own printouts-but none complete), NO TWO agree on hardly anything. This has got this Puppy pulling at my ears & flippin' my lips, & after about 5 hours going through it all last night, the LOML's Red Headed temperament showed it's face, & she was NOT a happy camper. Guess she'll be burning someone's ears for a few days til she gets the rest of the information. It just seemed like the info would get started but then quit just when the needed info should appear, but no reference as to where to find the info referred to, and no accompanying documentation.
I was just curious if any of you that may have this unfortunate malady, have had the same problems getting started on the program, or not.
This development was a Complete surprise to both my Dr, & myself, as I had just been tested 3 months ago & everything fine, so we thought my problems were with some medication being used to recover from a month long session with the "Crud" that's been around, but on a Dr's ckup discovered the problem & it was so severe, they wheeled me from the Dr's office across the street & into the Hospital where B/S cked 840, (considered Life threatening). Further testing showed that the problem started approximately 1 week after the initial test and had been rageing (above 400) since that time. They were shocked that I was still walking & had not had either a stroke or heart attack, so I was VERY LUCKY. Soooooo..... as a word of caution, do pay attention to the Diabetes signs especially when you are sick with other things, and Definitely if you have ANYONE in your family that has ever had diabetes. Only 1 person on either side of my family had ever had it before me.
Anyhow, it's great to be back, and am feeling much better than a week ago, soooooo.......gotta get this new "Instruction Manual" figured out & working, so I can get back to the "Tools" I Really Enjoy Using.
Cheers..........Norm
