I've had it twice...so I understand. I hope you got some good pain killers in there. Take good care of yourself! I'll say a prayer for you.

5. Oh my! I hope you are better now. Being in the hospital does
suck - sometimes the "cure" is worse than the ailment. I was hospitalized for ovarian cysts once and they gave me some super strong stuff via IV that burned my veins so bad. I was crying and just begging them to take the IV out. They applied warm compresses to my arms and that helped some. You could actually see the veins in my arm through my skin all reddened. They had to start an IV in the other arm so they could switch off the dosing and give each arm a break between doses. Did they figure out what caused your blood sugars to get out of whack? Welcome Back! Please feel better and take care!

6. that burning sounds like what I went though with the potassium
the pancreas controls the insulin ect in your body so the illness played a part of the blood suger stuff but also I was NPO for so long and nothing but IV fluids so the first labs showed my BSL at like 45 which is way low, so they gave me a sugar bolus something then it spiked really high so then after that it fluxuated back and forth finally the last day it was steady around the 95 levels...

13. Oh, that is horrible!
I am glad you are back. I was in the hospital for six days in January, and it sucked. Take it slowly, rest and heal.
