A Scare

We had a pretty good scare this weekend. My hubby TB, who is diabetic, hurt his toe somehow and on Friday evening he showed it to me. It was swollen, bright red and blue and the nail was coming off. We went straight to the emergency room. I knew that it was infected and felt that they'd send him home with a strong antibiotic. Imagine my shock when the doctor said he had to be admitted!

TB's sugar was running high and had been for a while. He needed to have one of his prescriptions filled and we'd put it off because of a lack of funds. Also, he hasn't seen an endocrinologist in over a year (same reason...and distance).

Well, this was a wake up call.

He is home from the hospital now and we've put the prescription in. If another bill doesn't get paid, so be it. This is much more important. So is going to the endocrinologist and getting on a better nutritional program.

Thank God he is okay ... but we can't get complacent again!
