Where have I been?

Where to begin, it's been a long, long week, and a while since I last wrote. Beginning of last week I stayed at Pete's a bit cos his mum was away, so that was nice, to spend a bit of time with him on our own. Then I got the bug. Being sick lots is not nice, and doesn't leave a lot of energy for anything else, so thats why I wasn't around much at the end of the week. When I finally stopped throwing up, I couldn't eat because of horrendous acid indigestion/heartburn and when I went to the out of hours GP yesterday to see if there was anything they could give me for it, they checked me over, did a blood test to make sure my diabetes was ok, and sent me straight to A&E. I have been in hospital since yesterday lunchtime on an insulin drip.
A long and quite eventful week, and not one that I'd like to repeat any time soon. I'm home now tho, and not being sick, feeling ok (at the moment-we'll keep an eye on that), and hoping that the worst is over and I can get back to work and normal fairly soon.
I think perhaps that thi has been a bit of a wake up call for me, I need to start looking after myself better, eating better, trying to be less stressed and stuff, easier said than done, but I don't want another spell in hospital with people sticking needles and drips in me and pricking my fingers every hour to see what my blood glucose levels are...health worries do not help with the general abject misery and depression, although I suspect that if things have been wrong with my body for a while that it may have something to do with the depression, or vice versa, everything is connected as they say. Anyway, even if it's not connected and I'm just a moody cow :-) looking after myself a bit better can only be beneficial and will onl assist my quest for general wellbeing, so from now I'm going to try a bit harder. I'm not making any huge monumental promises to myself like 'I'll never eat chocolate again' or anything, but I think a general polish of my lifestyle and eating habit wouldn't go amis.... I'll keep you posted.
