@h2oratt speaking about ketones.. DH is in the ER right now. Likely a UTI. It happens easily on autoimmune meds.He has high levels of ketones in the urine.

Hope he gets better fast.

12 more days of waiting until I get some relief for my hips and maybe a date for a pair of new hips. I at least want the shots administered deep in the joints so I can walk normal again. The first shot lasted about a year.

they're trying to get nicotine out of the blood to reduce bleeding complications.

Hmm. Midnight to 1 in the afternoon is 13 hours. That's long enough to purge the nicotine out of the blood to reduce bleeding? Interesting. Did not know that.

I saw two corn fields today that will not be harvested. The are burnt crispy from lack of rain. I bet that there is not a bushel of kernels in the whole acreage. 60-80 acres at least.

I am sorry

I don't know the facts about it, but I believe it's less of a purge and more of a reduction. Nicotine interferes with clotting.

My morning is probably going to involve trying to reason with her with a low success rate. It's too much for her to go without at once, for too long! I'm mad at the clinic.

@SourRoses, I'm a recovered former smoker, my heart goes out to your mom. I know what she's going through! Both the addiction part, the nicotine, and the habit part, the action of smoking. There were times after I quit that I would "go through the motions" of lighting up, taking a big ol' drag ... very soothing, very satisfying, very calming. It's a complex habit. I did not set myself free if you know wwhat I mean.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Maybe going through the motions might help her get through? I wish her success. What surgery is she having, if you don't mind my asking?

 

[Nomadicus]

I'm starting to nod off and I haven't taken the night time rounds yet. I'm going to shut the pump down until morning and then take my meds and keep a date with my pillow. Goodnight everyone.

Is he diabetic or has he been fasting

No he hasn't. His bacteria is also really high and passing blood. He's waiting for the ct scan to come back. He's still having problems passing water. Maybe a blocked kidney stone? But he usually gets pain with them

Hope he gets better fast.

Thank you. He has cysts on his pancreas since his last hospital visit. Could have something to do with that. Maybe
