Finally Home

We made it home from the hospital this afternoon after spending from Tuesday till now. My hubby called me at work to tell me that he was having chest pains. I asked him if he had tried his nitro and he said no. I told him to take that and after three he still had chest pains so the emergency room we went. He didn't have a heart attack, but we have issues to address and lots of doctor appointments. We just have to plan our next course of action. We know that his liver is going down hill and he is not a candidate for a liver transplant. They are afraid that he will be bleed to death because of his bleeding disorder where he doesn't clot good.

It has been a stressful few days with not knowing what is going on and still not feeling comfortable about the situation. I wasn't real happy at getting told that we should start thinking about things. I know that we are living on borrowed time, but my biggest thing who told us was a nurse practitioner and not the doctor. She said that she was speaking from experience because her mother was so ill.

We have been fighting his problems going on 13 years. He gave one of the night nurses a scare because the bottom dropped out of his blood sugar. I found out today they weren't giving him Novolog instead they gave him Humulog with his Levimir, We can't take Humulog . They told me that the insulin is the same as we used at home. They aren't the same and all medications does not work the same with everybody. I want to do some reading of your blogs hopefully later today, but right now I am off to the pharmacy. The calendar just has a lot of doctor appointments, but the nice thing  is they made the follow-up appointments before we came home. You all have a wonderful weekend.
