Hello / Labas



Hello / Labas

I have not used this greeting at my BlogSpot, saving it for my Yahoo Groups.

Seems more people are being reached through the two BlogSpots, and now the two websites and the several Yahoo Groups I moderate.

A new problem put me in the Emergency Room at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical [BIDMC] last night, Hypoglycemia [low blood sugar].

I was in bed, asleep. My glucose level [blood sugar] was so low that my body was completely covered with sweat and I could barley function last night. It took all available energy to get my wife's attention, who was at the other end of our home. No one heard me. Normal thought process stopped. A feeling of helplessness almost over took the ability to act. My normal functioning almost stopped, but I managed to force my body out of bed and reach the stairway and again called for my wife.

Luckily my daughter came into the kitchen and heard me. She called 911, the paramedics arrived and aided in getting my glucose level up after drinking 1/2 gallon of orange juice and several spoon full of sugar in each glass, a Glucose Liquid Shot [pocket container], a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Glucose level rose to 54, a little later 74. Who knows how low the glucose level was. I was at the point of passing out or very close to it.

My head became clearer. Then the paramedics transported to BIDMC.

I write here to let you know that there may be another issue for a delay in Programming. A different technical issue. Although, when possible programs will be released.

The other reason for writing is to keep you informed so you do not think you have been forgotten.

Thirdly, this is how this all began - if you have been to Contact Us tab -How This All Began. It was November 11, 1999 that was the root of this route [journey]. Some are aware of how this all started and what has been "Burning Inside" for many years. The "My Living Web Page" was the beginning of my web effort, pointing out what to be aware of medically and relating certain events about "The Silent Killer." The web site grew into what it is today.

So please continue to visit our various sites and normalcy will return soon. If there is such a thing.

But, "THE BEST IS YET TO COME"

Well thank goodness you're okay! Sounds like a terrifying experience, and I'm just glad you had help there in the house when you needed it. Take care of yourself. We appreciate all you do. :-)
