it wasn't a happy burfday for me...

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 27, 2009, 11:45 AM
well everybody..

i want to thank those of you who wished me a happy birthday. it really means alot to me..

but unfortunately i have some bad news..

when i went to the doctors, they did some blood tests, mainly because they have to start a new medical history because of my move. and because i was going to be getting a new doctor. about an hour and a half after i left, one of the nurses that was in charge of the ER called me told me i needed to come back because my blood sugar was really high. well.. i found out that it was high enough that they immediately admitted me to the hospital. i spent the last part of my birthday and also thursday and friday in the hospital. after plenty of testing, alot of blood being drawn..

i received a birthday present that i never expected

i have diabetes.

being told something like that especially on your birthday is not an easy thing to deal with. i spent the last half of wednesday in tears.. it was especially hard when i told my parents and sis and a few others. everytime i tried to tell them i pretty much broke down in tears.

i know many are going to say that things will be ok, that i can make it through this, that this is something that they know i can adjust to, blah blah blah..

right now i'm wishing and hoping that i can do all that..

they have me on insuline that i have to take every night before i go to bed. checking my blood sugar before i eat and go to bed. i know some stuff about diabetes, but fortunately i'm going to a class on it on monday. which means another day that i'll be missing work.

i don't know what is going to happen, they say that i might have had it for a while, possibly a year. docs were surprised that i haven't ended up in the hospital even sooner. i know that i'll have to change my diet. and also try to get myself in a good exercise routine. but..

the thing that really is having an effect on me is the simple fact that all the people i wish was here to help me with this are so far away.. even tho i know i'm a big boy, there are some things that the having family and friends close by, make things easier to deal with.. and unfortunately for me, all are almost 1000 miles away..

but.. hopefully i'll be able to deal with this, because there's not much else i can do

well.. i gotta go.. i hope everybody else is doing better then i am..

p.s...

i am trying to stay positive.. it's just pretty hard right now.. so please be kind on your comments

Aww Darling. That's not a good thing to hear on your birthday! Poor you. I myself have diabetes, and though mine is diet controlled as opposed to insulin controlled, it is easy to control. Always here if you need a chat. x

Oh my Goodness, what bad news, sweetheart!!! Diabetes is no good thing to have, I know it from my father who had it since the eaarly 80s. But I also know that they researched a lot since then and the daily routine has been made more convenient for the patients. Nonetheless it's a very hard message, I am so sorry for you, my friend! :hug: I hope everything will be ok but for now you need yor time to accept it. If you need to talk just come online and I will be there!

I know your birthday wasn't happy and I didn't even come to send you my love. But I will do that now, I wish you a happier birtdhay next year! :heart:

they aren't sure what to do with mine.. mine may have to be both diat and insuline, they aren't sure. and when it concerns onsuline, they aren't sure how that will be set either. hopefully thel'll sort it out soon

Hey hon,

I don't know much about diabetes to be honest, but as far as I know you can grow old with it.

I'm sure your employer understands that your health comes first, and that work IS important nonetheless. I mean, you moved a thousand miles to come work for them, that sure says something to him, doesn't it?

I understand that it's really hard, getting such bad news on your birthday and with your loved ones so far away. But you're tougher than you think, hon. You CAN do this!

Please let us know more after you've had your class?

Heads up! :hug:

At first I wanna say Happy birthday darling! :) :hug:

I'm so sorry to hear that you have diabetes! :( If I remember right, my father had it too but he did not have to live long with it, I'm glad he got it so late, you know.. (And no, he did not die because of diabetes!) He did have to quit smoking and my sister helped him with the needels (she lived at home then)..
I'm just googling more information about diabetes (I wanna learn more about it).. I really started to feel that I should go some blood testes too..

I so wish to be there for you! Besides I'm so bored my life here..
I try to catch you on msn soon, I wanna chat with ya!

Ok, take care sweety! :hug: :heart:
