Got ketones!

[bev]

Hi all,
Just tested Alex for ketones and he has 1.5 on the chart. So rang ward and they said if he doesnt come down then he will need to be admitted. So we are busy giving him water as he doesnt want to spend the night in hospital! Neither do i! Grrrr!!!!!!!!!!Bev

Hope all goes well for you Alex (and of course Bev!).

Keep that water flowing! Hopefully you'll be ok shortly.

Thanks - i have just offered him 20 quid to drink water until 9pm to get his ketones down! He wanted to be paid by the glass! Will let you know if i am down 20 quid - hopefully i will be!🙂 Bev

Phew - good news! Alex drank two and a half pints of water and managed to reduce his ketones to nil! However, i am down 25 quid! Hmmm... I may have to re-think this bribery thing! Bev

Bev, why ?25 thought it was ?20 and wasn't it Alex who didn't want to spend the night in hospital?

I think we need to do some work on your negotiating skills 🙄

 

[bev]

Well, i had said 20 quid and then he said 'plus 1 pound for every glass of water' - which i hadnt heard - but he assures me he said it! Hmmmm.. methinks i have been fleeced! Little monkey! 😉 bev

I think you ought to charge him for saving him from having to go to hospital 😉

And buy bigger glasses, or nick a couple from the pub 🙄
