Well I made it through to the other side (of the pain barrier) Will take me a while to convalesce but I got home today after an exciting triple bypass op. They wanted to replace my valves, but found them to be serviceable/ On the way out from it I lost my kidneys again, then my liver, then my panceas. Now I have a collapsed lung to fix, but they felt pity on me, and I ticked all their boxes, even getting my sugars under control. They stopped my Metformin, and put me on 10 mg of gliclazide,but when that did nothing I was straight onto inulin infusions. When I hypo;ed twice in succession, then they listened to me, and put me on a compromise 80mg twice a day. My meter readings this day was 5 / 5,4 /6 and f nose tonight since I had celebration takeaway as I am wont to do on such occasions, New regime starts in a couple of days.

Will be back on the boards when my spider wot types is under better control
 
Great to see you back, @Oldvatr . Take it easy.
 
Take good care of yourself @Oldvatr - it's good to know you're through the surgery and slowly recovering.
 
I was wondering where you were so I looked at your profile page and found this thread. I can't believe I missed it.

Goodness, you have been through the mill. Did I read it right that you are at home now, released from the hospital's clutches? How are all your important bits - lungs, pancreas, kidneys and liver?

Take it very easy, and convalesce properly. Wishing you all the best and sending hugs.
 
Oh, I now understand how I missed it. You put it in general chat, and those threads are excluded from the new/recent posts lists.
 
Very best of luck to you with your recovery x
 
Good to see you out the other side, as it were.
Hope your recovery goes well!
 
Good to see you back! Take it easy and get well soon x

Thank you all. I will be quiet for a while as my collapsed lung recovers.

While I was under the knife, my son got engaged in Turkey.
