Weathering my first storm

I made it through my first illness as a diabetic like a champ... battered and sore but the winner of the match! The last week or so at work has been kinda rough with a stomach bug going around not only with the kiddos but the staff as well. I do my best to keep my hands clean but with a broken thermometer I have been having to use "mommy hands" to see if the kiddos feel warm before making calls home so I was just waiting to see if the bug was going to get me. I also thought I jinxed myself when I told a co-worker it had been forever since I had been sick.... should have kept my big mouth shut!! But it was not the stomach bug that got me!! Let me just say that Whataburger and I will NOT be friends for a looonngg time after Saturday night/Sunday morning! I woke up with that yuck feeling about 2:30 A.M. and thought "Oh No I don't wanna be sick". But I was also thinking "I wonder what my blood sugar is?" so I checked and it was 80...all good there, let the "fun" begin. Through out the the whole episode my highest reading was 158, Thank You God! I don't know if I was more afraid that I would not stop getting sick or that my BS would shoot up. I hear horror stories from my friend at work with diabetes about how his numbers get into the 600's and I knew I couldn't handle that but God heard me and kept me where I needed to be. About 8 A.M. I got in touch with a friend (My Hero!) and was able to get some meds. to stop the nausea and help me sleep, and sleep I did, until 5 P.M. then I was in and out until 10 P.M. when it was lights out again until 6:30 A.M when I got the kid and hubby up and out the door then back in bed until 10 A.M.......that's a lot of sleep folks. And I still felt exhausted which made the hubby nervous. I had to assure him several times that my blood sugar was fine and no I didn't need to go the hospital or call the doctor. He was very caring during this whole time (except when he said it smelled bad in my room.... no sh*t I was sick, sickness stinks) Anyway I feel a little better today although my muscles hurt like I really did fight a boxing match and the little broken vessels in my face (currently semi cover by make up) makes me look like I am flushed..... lovely look really.... not, but I can say with confidence I never had a high blood sugar yippee!!
