I've been really ill

Glad you managed to get your eyes checked. It was the most sensible thing you could have done in the circumstances.

I totally agree, I was very worried . I can enjoy the weekend , taking my grandson out tomorrow just a little drive a change of scenery for him . Thanks for caring means a lot .
 
I went to the opticians they saw me straight away, what a blessing , the optician was from the hospital he does diabetic screening , I had the eye drops and full examination , he said my nerves are perfect and eyes healthy, he said the blob in the corner is the gel behind my eye formed and it will release and i will probably get another eye floater which is harmless, he said my left eye where the blob is , is a lazy eye ,i felt very blessed and this has put my mind at rest .
I can stop stressing now :)
I'm so pleased for you :)
 
I have been in hospital had a chest infection , the same time my son was in too with pneumonia , and the day I went into hospital my best friend died suddenly .

I tested positive for the virus and spent a few days in hospital on a drip and antibiotics .
I feel terrible lost a stone in weight as couldn't eat much , been to the doctors this morning for A1c , its going to be high I know as I was steroids six in the morning for 7 days and antibiotics , plus once I started eating all I could eat was toast and pasta .

My son is recovering well he spent his 35th birthday in hospital , we both fell in on my birthday , today is the first day that I have been feeling better , but I am depressed I feel so down . I had a row with my brother , I haven't had the jab as I have phobia so he sent me a message when I fell ill and said 'your lungs will fill with fluid and you will die ' so when i found it difficult to breath I thought I was going to die.
The ambulance took 10hours to reach my son and he almost died , then the same day i went into hospital , my husband took me to A&E and I collapsed in the queue , they took me straight through and i was put on a drip and oxygen , my blood sugar has been at its highest for 20 days or so 15. This morning it was 11.5 , hoping for lower tomorrow, but the nurse told me to not worry right now and that I need to start eating again because I have a long recovery as it was a very nasty infection.

The doctor at the hospital said even if I'd had the jab I would have got the virus this bad as it is just sometimes how it works, my husband had mild symptoms and so did my daughter in law and 9 year old grandson was negative .

I'm exhausted not sleeping good at all, and I am worried as i have like a camera flash in my left eye when I look at white wallpaper , I don't think it is anything , but it has stressed me out all day .
I wish you well. Xxxxxx.
 
  • Hi guys , HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL . I just started feeling strong again after covid . I lost more weight since being sick . Total 21lbs. I had my A1c in September it was 77, doctor said because I was ill and on steroids could be the cause , I was also only able to eat plain food and sadly it was toast , its all i could stomach ,but I've worked hard to exercise as much as i can and also now eating low carb . My readings in the morning are now 8 instead of 10.5 sometimes it was higher. My readings after meals now are 8.5 . I checked on the chart and this is in normal range , so I do feel i am improving . It really takes time to get over this illness . Ive also been struggling with my mental health , lost three friends and a cousin since last July , \i'm now registered with MIND again and waiting for some counselling . I'm feeling good again .
I hope everyone on here are well xx
 
Glad to hear you are coming out of such a difficult time, and have put in place positive things to support you going forward.
A happy 2022 beckons:)
