I'm sorry you didn't get more sleep. It would have made getting all that crap done a lot easier :hug::hug::hug:

It's perfectly reasonable for you to ask the PCP why she's not concerned about your husband's blood sugars. It sounds like she should be. You are a good wife and a good advocate for him. He's lucky to have you :hug:

I walked out of the pcp's office after waiting 90 mins. I was agitated and asked for my 40 dollar copay back because I had to leave -- even though the wait might have been only 5 or 10 mins more. I figured the appt would not have been productuvf . . . On The other hand it might have been good to have her experience my agitation. . . Might not.

Last night hubby freaked out when he got dizzy after lying down to go to bed.his blood sugar was 100. I told him to eat dairy / yogurt because of its slow and fast acting sugars. He waited a while. Then was still dizzy. Told him to eat some fruit and go to bed.

I am in a hotel near brother's neighborhood.
The flight was ok even with two delays.

Near 11:00 pm and well after I was settled into my hotel, I saw on
my phone that the local airport called earlier that I left my CPAP at the local airport.

Brother never answers his phone and so on.
Sis in TX got a hold of sis-in-law's cellphone.
Around midnight, brother drove to airport, picked up my cpap, and delivered it to my hotel. room. :)
Tomorrow is a regular work / summer camp / gymnastics day for everyone except brother and me. He explained what we are doing starting at 10:3o am but I do not remember.

Have fun with your brother, glad that you got the cpap back.

I've left doctors' offices agitated like that more than once. 90 minutes is a long time to wait. 5-10 more minutes would have just agitated me further. I have my days, and definitely my breaking points.

Fruit is a pretty good idea if you think low blood sugar is the cause of his dizziness, although milk (especially with something like graham crackers) is a better choice. 100 isn't very low, even for a diabetic, but a definite possibility if he's been running high.

I'm sorry about the delays and forgetting the CPAP. It was good of your brother to get it for you. I hope you have a good day today :)

I lost a long post :(

Brother and I spent most of the day together and did well.

We survived the chaos of his car breaking down in rush hour traffic and so on.
I asked to get a ride back to the hotel at 7:00 pm. ( I skipped whatever they were going to do together later)

Tomorrow morning he picks me up at 8:30 am for his house and my 12:00 flight.

I'm sorry you lost your long post.

I'm glad your day together went well despite the car breaking down :eek:

RAts, I too am sorry you lost your long post. I hate it when that happens, fortunately that has not happened much to in all of the time that I have been posting.
maybe once or twice.

reducing or stopping the Seroquel because of brain fog
 

Starting tonight I am going back to cutting the 25 mgs in half.
It is impossible to get them 50% so every night will be different.

I will do something like this:
night 1 - 30%
night 2 - 70%
night 3 - 25%
night 4 - 75%
night 5 - 65%
night 6 - 35%
night 7 - 40%
night 8 - 60%

Or else maybe skip some nights entirely.
=-=-=-==
ETA -- I am fed up. I cannot think straight.
(My house is messy and I cannot do anything. In other words the benefit is no benefit because I am not managing,
the house is a mess, I cannot pay attention, . . .
I feel like all I can do is sit and drool in front of the television.

Are you only taking 25 mgs?
I would think that you don't need to taper off of that. just quit.
I don't know....
What did your pdoc say?
