My Grandmother is back at the ER

[Roon]

After losing several toes this time she may lose her whole foot. Diabetes is so insidious.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. I'm sorry, Roon.

:hug:

[Roon]

2. Thanks Drunken Irishmen

Looks like we got her a new companion puppy just in the nick of time.

3. That's terrible.

I am sorry, Roon. All the best to her. :hug:

[Roon]

4. Thanks biggy,

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Roon...

I am so sorry to hear this, sweetie...

Sounds like her diabetes is very hard to control.

Good luck to her...

:hug:

[Roon]

8. I don't get it..she wakes, up, takes her blood pressure and sugar level

she does her sugar three times a day and she always takes her medicine and follows that diet. Why does this keep happening?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Good question.

She might be "insulin resistant" which would be something she needs to talk to her doctor about. Hell, she should be talking to him/her anyway.

Sounds like she's doing everything she can, and doing it right.

My best thoughts for your grandma...

:hug:

[Roon]

15. Sorry for lashing out Peggy

I just wish it would stop.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Aw, sweetie...you didn't lash out...

I understand your frustration completely.

I wish it would stop too...

:hug:

10. Roon, I'm so sorry to hear your Grandma is back in hospital

I surely hope she isn't facing more surgery but if she is then good vibes to her surgical team and caregivers are heading her way.

11. that sucks.

My grandpa was admitted to the hospital today with what's probably pneumonia. He gets it every freaking year. He's 82 and has dementia. I'm scared he won't make it out this time : /

I'm sorry we're both having to deal with this crap.

[Roon]

18. My Grandfather has been saying for at least 15 years

Old age ain't for sissies!

[greenbriar]

13. I am so sorry Roon

14. All my best wishes to all three of you, Roon.

I'm sorry she's having such a hard time. Grandma's aren't supposed to have to do that. :hug:

[Roon]

20. I know!!

I now need to be on call for puppy patrol..basically what my Grandfather said...

[blueamy66]

21. I'm so sorry Roon.

My Grandpa went thru this. All will be okay. My prayers are with you.

[Roon]

23. Thanks blueamy

My Grandmother parys every night. She could use some help tonight.

We just finished a course of wound care when she lost her LAST toe. It's only been 6 weeks or so.
