Catching up wth me
Last night the sleepies caught up with me.
Starting out at 11:00 PM on Friday, in order to help Joyce regulate her insulin pump deliveries, it was necessary for me to check her blood sugar levels every two hours until 7:00 AM on Saturday.
It is easier for me to stay awake than set an alarm for each two hours. Consequently, I indulged myself by playing online games at Pogo (www.pogo.com) through the night. Pogo provides, depending on one’s choice, some idle amusement in non-brain-taxing games.
Based on the readings throughout the night, it would appear that the basal rates are properly set; but only her diabetic doctor will determine for sure.
By the way, Joyce is a very deep sleeper and was barely aware that her fingers were being pierced to draw blood.
After the 7:00 AM reading, I set the coffee for the morning, set out the morning medicines for us both and used my COPD inhalers before hitting the sack.
My sleep only lasted until 10:30 AM; and, despite a quick nap in the afternoon and another in the early evening, sleep took hold of me around 9:15 PM. There was no way that I could keep my eyes open.
It was a good sleep and now I feel refreshed to take on the challenges of the day. Like watching foot ball. LOL
