Chili Willly doesn't feel so great

Chili Willy has not been feeling so great.  He came home from work on Thursday and didn't go to the Bat boy with Jack or Nick.  He went to the Doc on Friday and said they ran some tests.  He also didn't go to the family bbq and fireworks on Friday for July 24th.  He went back on Saturday am to the doc.   By Sunday, he took himself to the hospital.  He was admitted because his blood sugar was over 1200.  It should be around 150.  According to the Nurse that was my friend, she said "he is VERY sick'.

He was on an insulin drip and has his sugar tested every hour and they called the Doc.  He looked horrible and was asleep most of the time when we were there.  His blood sugar was 237 by Monday and then they took him off the drip and helped him with a shot of insulin.  The diabetic educator came around and taught him about diet and how to manage it.

Chili was finally discharged.  He was sent home on Insulin and some pills...metformin and something else.  He has low phosphorus so he had to drink some phosphorus drink...Yum...The pharmacy couldn't fill his prescription because it was written a wierd way...so took it to Walgreens (a different pharmacy) and they figured it out.!  Yea. It was 30.00.  bargain .  Thought it would be more.
