....it must be" I said to myself. as I came to and I was stareing directly into the overhead ceiling light and there's 6 hunky medics standing surrounding me(and the one behind me was petting my head) as I'm practically standing on my head, my with my feet up on the bed and I'm all tangled up in my exchange bag lines

ah dammit whaddya mean it was just a wicked bad insulin reaction? okay so last wednesday evening I had been running around all afternoon and that evening I came home and I took my insulin and I went upstairs to do my exchange at my desk and i was getting ready to eat dinner and well then the phone rang and before I could start eating my dinner I decided that I wanted to put my feet up on my bed. so I did and then WHAP...I went out.

like an hour later my son is in his room turns off his stereo to go to sleep and he hears this really bizzare moaning noise coming from my room. so he opens the door and there I have fallen backyard with my body across the desk chair and the top part of my body has fallen through the chair arm and the back of it so that I'm resting on my shoulder and my head is like an inch off the floor and my feet are still up on the bed. oh but the best part was I was having convulsions and my exchange bag lines were tangled all around me but somehow not around my neck. well he knew that he was't going to be able to just give me some juice so he called 911.

tada...they got into their shiney firetrucks and ambulances and drove around the corner(seriously it woulda be faster for them to walk.) after sereval tries they got a IV started to get some dextrose into me and I start to come to and some guy keeps saying "Nancy, wake up....wake up Nancy" and I open my eyes and i'm still almost standing on my head so that i'm looking directly into the round ceiling light and there's these 6 oh so incredibly hot firemen/medics in their uniforms surrounding me.....where else could I have been if not in heaven?

oh yeah and if any of them know how to read thay haveta know that I love Pearl Jam not just from looking around my room but cause I was wearing a PJ tee too :bigsm:

Yikes. Glad you're alright. Was it insulin shock; could a bad reaction be a sign that something was wrong with the insulin itself?

yeah it was insulin shock = insulin reaction it's the same thing. my blood sugar was 25. nah there's nothing wrong with the insulin it'self it was just really bad timing caused it to plummet really fast 1. I hadn't eaten yet 2. I had already taken my pre-dinner insulin 3. I had drained out all the dexrose solution that does the dialysising 4. I hadn't put in the new dextrose solution that was in the next bag

but hey all those guys and not one of had to hold up the IV bag that they put into my vein.....I come with my own IV pole

how is your son doing with this? I can't imagine how freaked out he must have been....how old is he?
I know my son totally freaks when I have an asthma attack and it's never been so bad that he has had to call 911

Positive thoughts your way.....................and your son. It's a scary thing to see that your parents are actually mortal.

Take care of yourself.

my son will be 17 next week.....thankfully my kids are pretty well versed in what to do....not to say that it doesn't freak them the hell out....really he woulda ordinarily just made me drink some juice but the way I was stuck up-side-down in the chair there wasn't anyway for him to do that....and the convulsions were a new thing on my part...he says that the part that had him really freaked was when I stopped doing the herkie-jerkies and I was still....guess it's a good thing that we live so close to heaven :ditsy: seriously the firestation is just across the street and around the corner
