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.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.....
ReplyDeleteI 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.
