Just in the door & SO knackered AND relieved!
Felt SO terrible today with my heart racing like mad, fluttering & erratic! They were running late & already sat down when I felt faint, tested & BS 13.3. Only managed to eat 2 chicken frankfurters after testing this morning & gave myself 4 NR, no meds or tresiba until I get back, will do it now! Already starting to feel faint when taxi dropped me off at the hospital & had munched a JB, everything in the shopping bag with oatcakes, JB’s, inhalers & test kit, & the JB contributed to that 13.3 the 2nd time, sat outside the treatment room, when I felt faint. Tests done & they wanted a urine sample & knew it this time so, mustered up my will power NOT to go whenever I leave the house: it’s a VERY strong Pavlovian Association response in me; if you know anything about psychology, I did both GCSE & A levels, there’s a very famous experiment where Pavlov sounded a bell just before feeding some dogs & an association was formed whereby the dogs salivated in response to the bell because they expected to be fed! I always go before I leave the house & when I hear running water when washing my hands: literally sit there until I squeeze SOMETHING! So, I thought I could, this time, as I usually can’t after doing it earlier when leaving the house! Nope! No can do AND I squeezed SO hard that I discovered WHY I feel SO off today: cycle completely out of the blue; caught me needing lots of tissues in my panties for the journey back! The stress has sent my hormones haywire! Feeling wiped out & try to get as much rest as possible now!
Meds & tresiba first!
I’m not behaving like myself today! I don’t usually talk to strangers but, I couldn’t shut up to the male nurse taking my bloods today: he took it in his stride & was very kind; that’s worth a LOT as I’ve witnessed how unkind, downright mean, nurses can be in the Government hospitals in HK that the average person can afford, they can be even to the dying like my mum was back in 2015!
