Title: bad day depressing
Post by: vinni on May 10, 2006, 03:22:39 PM
im currently sat here at home waiting for a phone call from the hospital ,

my brother was rushed in yesterday ,he is diabetic .

his feet is swollen @ he has been told off the surgeon that its touch @ go

weather he losers his foot .

every time the phone rings my heart skips a beat .

sitting here wondering what they are doing to him .

hes a totaly different person to me (hes not loud) a loving little chubby man .

never says anything bad to anyone ,

my whole point is ,is there really a god when something like this happens to

some one whos never done anything wrong to any man or mouse .

dont know what to do with myself ,

Best wishes mate.   If his Diabetic clinic is anything like Crosshouse Hospitals diabetic clinic then he will be in good hands. They are really on the ball.   I wish him and you all the best and hope things turn out ok.

Baz keep the faith man.

My wee ousin is only 12 and he's a diabetic has been since the age of 4 and evry day he has to inject himself twice and test his sugar levels its a terrible illness and when my wee where informed of my young cousins illness we never really knew what to do or say as we thought that diabetis only effected older people. 

I'm sure your brother will be fine I'll say a wee prayer to St Clare for both of you.

Sorry to hear that Barry, I know your brother quite well, & he's a smasher.

Years ago, diabates was something difficult to control. My father had 11 brothers & sisters, they all had it, & most of them had various limbs amputated. Musical Chairs at Family Parties was a hoot! But these days, caught soon enough, it can be held in check, & it's less of a problem than it was in those days.

I do wish him well, pass on my best wishes please, & I feel for you too, I know how bad you feel. It'll be OK mate, it will.

Your right Tikay.  Today it is far easier to control. I have been diabetic for about 9 years.  It doesn't really effect me a great deal thankfully. I still have good eyesight and have no other related problems connected with it. Generally if I take my insulin when I am advised to after my meals and go running most days, my sugar levels are always the same as a normal healthy person when tested  ( normal is between  4.7 and 7.0 ).    I really feel for Barry and his brother at the moment. It must be a scary position to be in and as I said earlier our best wishes are with them both..

When someone is ill it makes you realise that all the other crap doesn't matter.

Fingers crossed though, it looks like things are going to be ok.

Barry, wish your bro good luck from all at blonde, and please keep us updated.
