Just Another Bump in the Road

A few days before the new year I suddenly felt as if the inside of my head was on fire, then my face and both my arms felt as if I had bugs running inside them.  After about 10 minutes all symptoms just left, never to return.  The incident was on Friday and all weekend I felt out of sorts.  On Monday I decided to check my blood sugar and it was 337.  Wow! I knew I was in trouble and emailed my doctor and he instructed me to immediately go to ER.  At ER I was poked with sharp objects and had numerous tests ran.  It seems I'm pre-diabetic, had low potassium levels, elevated blood pressure, etc, etc. After having potassium pumped into my veins I was sent home with pages of instructions.  Bottom line is I need to change my diet and take care of myself.

Today, I go to see my primary care doctor and probably get more instructions.  Good part of this is it's treatable with diet changes, so far.  I have all the knowledge I need to make these changes, now I have to implement that knowledge (the hard part).  Aging suck!
