This darn cold keeps hanging on. Ithought turning up the humidifier on my cpap machine would help me out but I think it made things worse. I slept most of the day away. I didn't get up until 2 and 163 laps into the race. I didn't even wake up to pee at all after I went to bed last night. Katie was good she didn't bother me at all to let her out but when I did wake up she let me know she had to pee. She had to pee so bad she was piddleing infront of the door as I put her lead on her. Poor girl. Tracy was ok because she still has pee pads but I let her out just the same. since I got sick with this cold I have been having a hard time controlling my blood sugar. It's been way way up in the 300's. The stress on my body from having the cold makes my blood sugar go up and I have to keep pounding the insulin but it's really not doing much good. I get my sugar down for a few hours and it jumps right back up again. I'm taking 4 times my usual insulin to keep is as normal as I can. I'm counting my carb making sure I don't have more than 5 in the morning 4 at lunch and 3 at supper but things are still going crazy. Thankfully my keytones are good. That means when my blood sugar goes up my kidneys start to spill keytones or protine which is bad but things still look good for now. I'm drinking 3 or 4 litlers of water a day to keep myself hydrated, but the Bumex (my water pill) makes me pee like a horse. I'm not adding any salt to my food so my feet and ankles look ok. I'm taking 2 potassium pills a day to help with my potassium levels to make sure that doesn't go low and kill me. A low potassium can give me a heart attack and that sure as heck wouldn't be good. Sorry for the tech info here I just want to make sure that who ever is reading this knows what is going on.

I'm craving orange juice I wonder if I'm not lacking something that's in the orange juice. Seems to me if I have a craving for something I'm usually lacking what ever that's in my craving and I feel better after eating of drinking it. Maybe vitamin C I dunno. I'll get a small bottle of oj tonight when we go shopping. Ginger works until 6 and then she'll come home pick me up and go back to the store to go shopping. She comes to get me so I can have a change of scenery every now and then. She only works about a mile from home so it's not so bad to have to come and get me. I would walk to the store but my legs just won't hold me up that long and with the Fibro I'd never make it. My muscles have become so weak I have to use a cane to get around and we have actually thought about getting me a walker to help me so I don't fall down and break my neck. I was falling down quite abit 6 or 7 months ago but things have started getting better in the last few months. I'm sure it's because I've lost 30 pounds. I still have a ton to go . I'll get there I know but I hate having to wait.

Jimmy Johnson just won the race at Matrinsville and Denny Hamlin came in second. I don't think it was that great a race but hey it was a race towards the championship.
