I’m feeling pretty good. No significant pain. My blood sugar is down to the 130-140 range, which still seems high given that I’ve had no food for something like 80 hours and several doses of insulin, but they say it’s ok. Based on the numbers, it seems to me like the insulin is having virtually no effect, but I have to trust the doctors.
I’ve been trying to walk half a mile every hour while I’m awake. I think that’s helping. It’s not particularly difficult.
This morning I’m staying out of bed as much as I can. I woke around six and moved to the chair to watch the sunrise. It’s overcast, so it was less spectacular than it might have been, but that’s ok.
I’m on 2 oz of lemon Crystal Light per hour. I have other options including popsicles, broth, and tea, but (guilty confession) I kind of like crystal light.
I’m not hungry. I do think about food (and I am astonished to notice the proportion of commercials which are either for food or weight loss products), but while I want it in my mouth, my body is not particularly interested. If someone came up with a way to give you the taste and mouthfeel of, day, a big bite of pizza without actually giving you the calories etc., they’d make a fortune.
I’m hoping they send me home today.
