I'm still in hospital but I'm sure I'll be allowed home been 7 days time to go! I think im feeling much better but I'm on so much meds antibiotics steroids that I'm rattling inside. I think I've been so sick over the years that this feels normal that's what my gastroenterologist thinks.
At the moment just a bit of a balancing act getting my blood minerals normal. Potassium levels keep dropping to low so they supplementing my levels. So see how they are today.
Breakfast today I had scrambled eggs and real butter which I mixed into the eggs and small tub of full fat greek yoghurt and cup of tea. But the hunger is real I'm eating as much FAT my body is able to tolerate with out it upsetting my UC... but I'm still want more to eat...**** steoroids I call them the devils tick taks haha..
I have been given a small banana with breakfast today which I'm holding onto in case I feel hungry without eating those biscuits they serve with my morning afternoon teas they provide biscuits and yes I have eaten a few but I'm doing as best I can under the circumstances.
Still lots of bush fires here in Australia so the ward smells like smoke and the sky outside is very smoky praying for rain. But at least my view is awesome. Check it out.
I can't test my own BSL I dont have any strips with me as was not expected to be here so being relying on the staff here. I ate a banana after dinner last night was bit bigger than the size they normally provided me in here. Ate this about an hour before dinner my BSL was 10.1 mmmo/l about 90mins or so after eating it. nurses were happy with that me not a as much!
Dinner chicken breast mash potato butter and a few carrots and a full fat Greek yoghurt. And succumbed to two biscuits. Steroids!!! but This morning my BSL was 5.1 mmol/m.
They've taken bloods this morning so now waiting game for results see doctors etc before they discharge me. Im walking regardless haha... but im sure I'll be allowed to leave...
Yah they letting me go but not until I'm popping 8 x potassium tablets was either that or try put in another cannula in and another night in hospital.
Waiting around for my pick up and unwell my BSL 4.1 mmol/m so felt like a hypo only available was banana bread at the coffee shop in hospital.
A very Long day git to my brothers home rhwn 8 had to drive home... I'm home very exhausted I had to drive 2 hours to get home im exhausted so tired but at same time can't sleep
Thanks so much everyone for your support I'm sort of popping around reading posts on here but at the same time my mind is very anxious and I'm still getting overwhelmed and anxiety about everything.
