Welcome back Pete.

I hope it feels good to be able to sleep in your bed, surrounded by your kitties.

Glad you are out, @sneakypete. It's a damned shame you can't just jack the doctors up and get some decent care.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@sneakypete

Just now seeing this. Thankful you made it home, but disappointed that your hospital messed you around.

I expect that to become the normal state of things for all of us.

Bet money on it for everyone who doesn't have the cash to have private medical care.

Waiting for a friend to pick me up and take me to the ER. Diabetes doc took me off Metformin,and gave me an insulin pencil to inject 20 grains/grams/whatever into my stomach once a day. My BS readings have been 288 both days,and it was never over 213 before.

So confused I had a hard time remembering how to send a text to my friend to come get me,but I think I have it figured out now.

Might be a few days before I am back online.

Sitting here in the house with the thermostate set at 90,shivering so hard I have trouble typing. That's big when you consider I am wearing a down winter jacket over a hoodie.

Failure of regulating body temperature can be caused by things other than diabetes.

If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion,
mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
