sick = hell

I'm sick,  again. Frustration.....

So new rule in my life. If you are from out of town and visiting and you don't have a strong immune system, don't expect to see me at all. Why? Because you will get sick and me being around you for oh, I don't know, 2 hours, will get me sick.

If you are coughing, don't expect to see me.
If you don't feel good, don't expect to see me.

I throat is sore, I hardly have a voice, I can barely swallow, my ears hurt, there's nothing but pressure in my head that is driving me crazy, I'm coughing, I'm blowing my nose like crazy, it sucks.

This isn't a cold like the last two times, this is like the mother of all colds. The I'm going to beat you into submission and you're going to like it colds.

And I hate this feeling. March was bad enough with Mum and Ronnie getting me sick within a week of each other.

And how did I get sick when we are practically in bloody July and I live in the south so you know it's heat stoke the minute you walk outside hot? Glad you asked. My mom's friend/my madrina and her mother came into town for the first time ever and her mother got sick. Then I was stupid and not knowing she had been coughing that day, spent roughly 3 hours in a car with her and pretty much al day with her. when you're diabetic and trapped in a car with someone coughing, you're going to get sick. It's inevitable. Your immune system is already compromised due to the diabetes. Had I known she was coughing, I would have been like, no go without me. I'll see you later.

What does this mean? It means I can't hang out with them for the rest of thier visit. Which is overly frustrating.

This is why the new rule is now in place.

This is the second time someone from out of town has gotten me sick. And I can't take cold medicine to rectify this situation. Sure there are diabetic cold medicines, but when I wake up with my blood sugar 460 and my husband gives me this I'm really worried about you look before he goes off to work and I'm on a strict text every hour, test every two hour, and I'm scared to eat until my blood sugar is in the 100s, I'm not risking finding out the reaction of the cold meds. I'm not interested in seeing if it will cause a spike in either direction.

Stupid diabetes. Stupid people getting me sick. A cough. One cough and that's all it takes. And then specific measures have to be taken. I have to test every 1 - 2 hours. If Bryan is at work I must text every hour on the hour. If I miss a text, then I'm DKAing. I am not allowed to sleep at all until Bryan comes home just to make sure the blood sugar doesn't plummet. I can't eat until I'm in the low 100s. If my blood sugar does not go under 240 in four hours I have to go to the hospital. If I have diahrrea twice in a four hour period, I have to go to the hospital.

See what a pain in the ass it is to get me sick. So frustrating.
