Stress..........
I had a REALLY bad day yesterday- in terms of my stress level, that is. ?
To make a long story short, my grandmother has been hospitalized for over a month, and not doing well. ?She was finally?stabilized but the hospital would only release her to a nursing home- she needs 24 hour medical care at this point. ?She was sent there Thursday night, so we got together and went over there yesterday afternoon. ?
Anyway we finally got there (the place was beautiful btw!) and she wasn't there. ?My mom started to flip out, thinking we got the wrong info somehow, and we were told that she was sent to the ER because she was in distress. Apparently she ripped out the tube in her throat that was helping her breathe ?(the trach) and when they tried to reinsert it, they punctured her lung. ?When we got to the ER to see her, her face was SO SWOLLEN and she wasn't moving. ?(I just looked at her, felt the tears start and walked out- left my mom and her friend there.) ?I went to test my sugar (this was 2 hours after lunch) and it was 176. ?(I'm sure the 3 breadsticks I had at lunch didn't help though, but honestly, bread usually doesn't hurt my sugar at all!!!) ?And of course I couldn't eat after that, so when I tested my sugar before dinner, I got a fabulous # of 62. ?Ughhh....
When I woke up this morning, I knew I needed something to cheer me up- and that something was pancakes. ?I whipped out a box of pancake mix, threw in a?handful?of chocolate chips into the batter and cooked them up. ?I made silver dollar sized ones (I have this awesome pan I got to make silver dollar pancakes) and ate 4 with sugar free syrup, along with an egg and a glass of Crystal Lite pink lemonade. ?Ok so it wasn't the healthiest breakfast, but I REALLY needed the treat!! ?And 2 hours later, my sugar was 102. So at least I feel A LITTLE better now that I've had my chocolate fix for the day. ?the baby must've liked them too because he was kicking like crazy !!?

Re: Stress..........
gd or not you deserved those pancakes!!!! but seriously that's great that your # was well within the limits! and as for your other #s, well stress can definitely mess with your #s.
i'm sorry about your grandmother, i hope that things get better!
