Well, I am at work today, although I don't know why. I am starting to realize just how much we have just been through. I am exhausted and we didn't sleep much at all last night. Derek didn't want to go to bed and you could tell he was almost afraid of falling asleep...I can't blame him. The little we did sleep was necessary though.
Dereks GL has started to get back to "normal" for him, although he was higher this morning then usual. Hopefully today will go well and we can get back to life. Derek and I have decided after this incident that we will begin working with a nutritionist that specializes in Diabetes. I know we both have a lot to learn and hopefully it will make him feel less frustrated if he can get things to even out a bit.
I'm not sure if I posted about his ankle yesterday, but when he started to come out of the reaction he tried to stand up because his legs "felt funny". Due to the poor circulation in his legs during the reaction, they had gone numb and when he stood up he had no strength to bear his weight. His ankle took the weight and is now the size of a softball. He is having troubles putting weight on it, but is trying to be a trooper because he wants to get things back to normal. I am going to take him to urgent care tomorrow if it is still hurting this badly.
I was up a pound this morning from last WI, my official WI is tomorrow. I know I have a lot going on and frankly it is the last thing I am worried about right now. I have been watching what I put in my mouth and trying to make good decisions. I'll be back tomorrow with an update though.
Hope everyone is doing well. Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers, we both appreciate it as this has been one LONG week already!

Oh hon, you are in my prayers!!! I didn't even know Derek was diabetic (not that I would anyway) so this was all such a shock. PLEASE know you are in my prayers. I hope and pray his ankle isn't broke, but maybe just sprained. You both have a lot of your plate right now....just focus on getting him back on track. Keep us posted!
I know I'm ignorant in diabetic care, but a friend of mine's son is diabetic and he got an insulin pump and it's made all the difference in his life. Would that be something that would help Derek?
I think going to a nutritionalist will at least make you feel like you're more in control. Knowledge is Power!
I hope his ankle feels better soon - and I pray that it's just a sprain. Sometimes a sprain can hurt worse than an actual break. (Now that's something that I actually know a lot about!) :o)
I'm sure the slight gain is just due to stress and not stress eating. You're doing great girl - I'm so proud of you and the ways that you've been such a trooper these past few days.
I wish there was something that we could do to help, but know that we're always here for you!
Take Care!
