I'm glad to hear you are OK. Please be more careful, although I'm sure your unpleasant experience will help you on that score.
I am indeed “okay,” dear Burns (peace to you!), but sore “inside.” Life must go on, of course, so I had to get up and out already today. But, yeah, I will try to be MUCH more careful going forward.

I did that once, but not as badly as you did. I mixed up my insulins and took the long acting dose in the short acting insulin. It was a very long day after that. Your exhausted, I'm sure. Get rest.
It DOES turn out to be an ordeal, yes, dear Chaps-Girl (peace to you, as well!), even if no ER visit results. The body can only take so much and messin’ around with insulin can put it through the wringer. I tried to get on with my day after leaving the hospital (‘cause I felt “better” – more “like myself” and who wants to lay in the bed on what was a GORGEOUS day, weatherwise!) but should'a rested. Paid for it with fitful sleep last night but other than internal soreness I’m back to me, for the most part.
You, too, though, take care, as your experience
could have gone the other way. One does have to be on one’s game, for the most part, for this. The ER triage nurse openly hinted that I should consider a pump. Of course, that was the next step for my former doctor. Had he seen this I’m sure he’d have sent me some paraphernalia about it! LOLOLOL! I prolly will look into it…

That is scary story
We`re lucky to still have you..
Awwwww, Sher’f dear... peace to you, my dear friend... and I am the lucky one to have folks like you all thinking of me in spite of me having done such a stoopid thing – LOLOLOL! Thankfully, I kept my head enough to get to the ER (which wouldn’t have been necessary had I kept my head in the first place – LOLOLOL!). The folks there took VERY good care of me. I was SO impressed with the service I received I’m considering writing a letter to their top people commending everyone. Except one person. Of course, there had to be one, didn’t it, that acted like we were “bothering” her when ‘Mom asked her to help during the second “crash.” Rather than take a moment and ask what was going on, she acted like she “knew” cause she glanced at my chart or something. Hadn’t a clue, of course. I wanted to tell her butt off for making things hard for dear ‘Mom, who did NOT deserve the attitude. I still might rat her butt off, maybe teach her a lesson about poor customer service skills. Maybe. The rest was SO good I might let it slide. Might. Might not. Still pondering whether I want to get someone hauled in back room or dinged on their review. She needs it, though. The rest, though, even the dang janitor… were just angels, every one of them!

Wow... glad you're okay!!
LOLOLOL, me, too, dear my dear tec (peace, chile’!)

You know, driving is sometimes just faster than waiting for an ambulance, especially if you think you're going to get there before you start showing any effects.
Wait… and I live in
OAKLAND, Cali – LOLOLOLOL! Could take the ambulance “a minute” (or much more!) to get to me, so okaaayyyyy??? LOLOLOLOL! No, we did have to call the ambulance once for my husband and they were there in like 3-4 minutes, so they would have come forthwith, I'm sure.
Again, I wasn’t thinking clearly. ‘Cause I COULD have “crashed”, technically AND literally, while driving to the ER! But I knew I had about 10-15 minutes before the dose kicked in and that I could make it in 10, so… But it wasn’t the (second) brightest thing (not) to do (after the initial OD unbrightness – LOLOLOL!)

I'm just glad you're okay, and that you have JM to help you out. Peace and love to you, and just take care of yourself!
Me, too, as to both! And yeah, I will try. As I told dear ‘Mom (peace, dear, dear luv!), I deviated from my regular routine and I cannot for the LIFE of me explain WHY! But then I thought, isn’t that usually how “it” happens? Someone says, “I usually take that route ‘but for some reason I went this way today, and…” or “I NEVER deviate from my routine… until today! For ‘some reason’ I did it different today, and…” and there you go: accident/mishap of some sort. So I can’t promise I won’t do it again because I absolutely was NOT conscious of doing it this time (using the wrong pen) until I went to pull it out. Before that, I would’a sworn it was the right pen!

Flippin heck Shelby! You really did make a boo boo!!
I did, dear Loz-Girl (peace to you, my dear sister!)… and nothing/no one to blame but me. I wasn’t even RUSHING! LOLOLOL! When I think back on it, I had plenty of time and so THOUGHT I was working AHEAD of the game for a change – LOLOLOL
Quote:
Thank goodness you're alright. Be careful lovely lady! We don't want anything nasty happening to you.
I am, and thank YOU… and yes, I will certainly take more care going forward!

OMG that is scary,
You know, dear Zoe (and peace to you, as well, dear one!), while it CAN be, yes, I really wasn’t scared at all. Not really, at any point. I knew I just had to get to the ER... and that I would... and that they’d take care of me… and they did. And I knew I would get there... because my Lord talked me through from the time I left the house. Even when I hit traffic! I was like, "Awwww, I can't sit in TRAFFIC!" and he said, "You won't..." and the traffic parted somehow. It was still there, but no in my lane - LOLOLOL! When I "worried" about speeding and whether to pull over if a cop drove up, he said, "Of course, not. If that were to happen you would just have them follow you and let the hospital deal with it, but that's not going to happen, so no need to be anxious." So, I calmed down about that, too.
He even calmed me down before I left the house. I had run up and down the stairs a couple time trying to get dressed, etc., and he told me that I needed to “calm down” and stop rushing around because that would cause the insulin to uptake and kick in faster, which it would. So I began to take my time. Which was crucial because... I remembered to turn off the tea pot - LOLOLOL! It hadn't started whistling, yet, so I COULD have forgotten it. He said, "Don't worry about the toast - it'll pop up and be fine but turn off the kettle!" LOLOLOL!
So, when I got to the hospital and started to have a mini-panic that perhaps I HADN'T shut thet stove off, he said, "No, you turned it off. I told you to, remember? And you did." So, I let THAT worry go - LOLOLOL!

Take care o yourself. glad to hear you are OK now but you must be exhauseted now.
I will, I was, and I am, dear one, but I am glad to BE exhausted! That and the “soreness” means I’m still ALIVE, girl, so… it feels GOOD to me – LOLOLOL!
Anyway, I'm between appointments and I just wanted to take a moment and respond and thank you all, personally, because you took the time to respond to ME and offer me such kind words and regards. Your kindness is very touching and I just want you to know I appreciate it. I shared my ordeal because I know folks have been wondering where everyone’s been lately and here was another day where I was offboard so I wanted to explain. You know me, though: verbose to the nth degree, so I had to give you the bump-by-bump – LOLOLOL! So, I hope this is enough “reading” from me – LOLOLOL! Of course, I will post more on other topics if time permits over the next couple/few days but I will need to be off the board quite a bit until Monday or so.
Again, THANK you… and as always, peace to you… ALL!
Your servant and a slave of Christ,
Shellama
