Patti D. 20 years, 8 months ago

Hello! Yes my little loser angel I have been online. I have updated my profile and posted a big thanks on the main message board. I just havent stopped in here haha. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support I really needed and appreciated it. And special thanks to my loser skinny angel for keeping everyone informed. I am feeling pretty good and trying to keep my journal to date so I can help others through their journeys. Best of luck to all who are starting their journey and a high five to those who have made it! You are an inspiration to all.

I see Patti has not been on line so I will give you an update! Shes is home and doing ok she has had some scary things go wrong but thanks god shes ok ! She is still having trouble with her blood sugars but I think she has gotten them some what under control for now! One night she went down to 30 which is very very low and she could have died but she handled it on her own without calling anyone (which amazed and upset me)she could have went into shock! She took apple juice but it didnt raise her levels so she took a chance and had a small piece of fudge! It worked thank god. She also is having alot of trouble with her eyes since that night she cant see out of her glasses so she went to an eye doctor I think Monday and he said no permant damage (thank you God). The reason she cant see is the sugars have been dumped in her eyes too. She said when she puts on her glasses its like looking threw some with vaseline on them! The doctor said she will have to wait till her sugars are under control for a month with no ups or downs to be fitted for new glasses. So this maybe why she hasnt been on line its had to see. But surgery went well its just the other ilness giving her trouble!

Hi everyone I just got back from hte hospital and Patti looks wonderful but tired. She had just gotten back from a walk so she is up and moving.Sugars are still in the low 200's and she has a nitro patch on but seems good. She will go for her leak test tomorrow so lets cross our fingers but she sure looks better than I did 12 weeks ago! Take care

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.
