So I've been home from the hospital for a week now, I go in today for bloodwork and tomorrow I have an appointment with the Dr.

I haven't been able to write like I've wanted to, I tend to look at the story on the screen and not add anything to it. For some reason it's really hard to write, at the moment. Everything seems really weird/strange... I dunno maybe just the thought that I can't remember three days of my life, I can't get my husband to talk about it much, but apparently I wasn't as unresponsive as I had originally thought, semi-lucid and non-cooperative is now what I'm being told, he also says that it's GOOD that I don't remember, which makes me want to remember it even more!

I'm trying to get the third DWP story in the 'Like' series done, but as I said, writing has just been really hard lately. I am at least trying though...

One thing about being in the hospital for five days and then feeling like crap at home for a week... I've started eating without very much sugar...or salt... so I think I might have lost a few pounds... so, I guess that can be a plus.

OK, this is how far behind I am in reading Livejournal, I only just found this. Maybe I should rediscover email?

Recuperation doesn't sound very fun. FWIW I'm sure the writing will come back.

The good thing is that the Dr. took me off the insulin injections and I only take the glucophage pill now... along with several others for blood pressure and etc...

I did actually add a little to the next DWP story today... not much, but more than I have been doing.

Thanks for the hug :)

Hope the blood tests show nothing that is not easily fixed, Best wishes (aka pup power) for a swift recovery,

Thanks.

They actually showed more of the same, blood sugar and pressure were still elevated which to my Dr. means more and different/stronger drugs. Also my kidney function was lower than it should be, but I can't think it was too low because his solution wasn't a drug it was to drink more water (which means I'm going to be drinking water pretty much constantly all day)

I'm also trying to watch my salt and sugar intake via diet. (which isn't actually very fun, but if it keeps me out of the hospital, or from going blind...or my kidneys from failing, then I suppose I'll do it)

I know all about Pup Power, I don't think I posted to the Pack list that I was in the hospital did I? I don't remember doing that... I need to go back and re-read Missy's stories I miss Xena sometimes... then again I miss Dar sometimes ;)

Thanks for the good wishes/Pup power!

Later

Hey Gin,

I know you're on the pup list ... and, I'm reasonably certain you didn't post there re: hospital.

Re: Health -- Diabetic here, also. Controlled so far with drugs. My father did the kidney failure/transplant routine. Good thing to avoid, if at all possible. Feel free to contact me directly if you ever want to chat about any of this stuff...

Re: Missy's writing ... Given that your XTC stories are high on my favourites list (top three), what do you think of Missy's Conqueror?

I'm actually an ELDER on the pup list! ;)

My father had all kinds of diabetes related health problems. I don't want to have to go through what he did.

Missy's Conqueror... um... honestly? I never read it. I actually always had thoughts of a fourth story in the 'trilogy' LOL... and it's actually partially written, but after the series finale took the heart out of me, I just stopped working on it. I'd hoped to get back to the story but really haven't even thought about it for a long time. I don't know if I'll ever get back into Xena enough to finish it. I'd have to re-read the first three and quite frankly they put me to sleep, I doubt I could get through them.

I've been writing other things lately. If I get in the mood for a Xena story I might read Missy's, but I don't see that happening any time soon. At least I know if I want to read one there's a good one (I'm assuming it's good because Missy wrote it) waiting for me.

Top Three? Wow.. nice. Thanks :)
