And the news was not good. They are putting her on insulin effective immediately and adjusting some of her diabetic meds. They will be running lots of blood tests.
7 pm update----We just heard from the oncology folks and she has significant bone loss in both hips and is at high risk for a break. Not that much a surprise as she has been on steroids as well as everything else. New drug will be started for that.

Just when you think it can't get worse. . . Don't know what to say but to tell you to keep on going.
It just keeps coming. We just got a call and she has major bone loss in both hips and is at high risk. Expected it, but still.....
I am not allowed to type the words that come to mind because the FCC prohibits this sort of heavy-duty cussin'. I suppose I could say, "Welcome to the 3@#$ diabetes club!" It's a major pain to adjust to. I still have not gotten my blood sugar under control as well as the doctor wants. Sheesh! Bless your hearts (and I don't mean that in the nasty sense at all). My endocrinologist (Dr. Feinstein) is one of the best. If you're ever unhappy and want a second opinion, he's the one to see (at Medical City Dallas, too.) Anyway . . . hang in there.
