I was a massive idiot the other night and ate Halloween candy. Way too much of it. It was those damn candy corn pumpkins. In any case I woke up today feeling so bad. I threw up four times, massive amounts of liquids. As a result I was very dehydrated and just felt horrible. I have not felt that bad in a looong time. I went to an urgent care and they said they’d call the non-emergency line to the hospital because they couldn’t really do anything. They thought I was in diabetic keto acidosis. That has never happened to me in my diabetic life. In any case the ambulance picked me up and tried to get an IV started but they could not, it’s really difficult to find a vein in a dehydrated person oftentimes. So I got stuck over and over and when I got to hospital, the nurses tried more…and more…and more. They were using a vein finder thing and still couldn’t find one that would give blood or an IV. I was stuck maybe twenty times it was kind of awful but certainly not their fault! Finally one of the nurses tried my CHEST of all places and got some blood and put an IV in. I started feeling better and I was able to hold down some water. I later was able to eat a granola bar and two packs of crackers and didn’t lose it, thank frick. So they did my blood work and determined I was not in keto acidosis. Thank frick again. They gave me another bag of liquids and when it was empty, took my blood again. After the results, I was let go with the promise I would drink lots of water and Gatorade, which I have been trying to do. I want in there at four something and got out about a little over an hour ago. At eleven thirty. 😅 I’m glad they took such good care of me! I had actually gotten kind of comfortable and warm during the last two or so hours and didn’t feel like moving lol

the conclusion is that I’m never fucking eating sugary candies and drinks again! I really hadn’t felt this bad since my emergency gallbladder removal. It was decidedly worse but still. 😆
