Same old, same old.

Today I talked to Dr. Steinfeld. They are removing HIGHLY concentrated sugars from my diet. Oh yay. I'm sure it is only for the better. Already I did not drink my juice this morning, and my sugars were in the hundreds for both breakfast and lunch. At dinner they took a nasty spike into the 300's though. It was a mystery to me why they did that until I realized that they were mixing one of my antibiotics with 5% Dextrose, which in essence is sugar water. Brilliant. Way to go pharmacy!

I realize these blogs are getting terribly boring, but there is not much to write about when your schedule every day is the same. I play Skip-Bo daily (a card game) and watch at least a movie a day. Apparently sinus surgery is not out of the question, but the doc doubts they will do it during this stay due to my sugars fluctuating so terribly. I can't help that if they inject me with sugar water. Haha. Tomorrow I go for more PFT's (pulmonary function tests) to see if my lung function is improving. If it is, we will probably stay on the course that I am on. If not, then we will have to change something up. I have a feeling they will be the same tomorrow as they were when I came in because I feel entirely filled with mucus in my chest and none of it is moving at all, even when I try to physically get it out.

All of the doctors and nurses say I sound great when they listen to me, but feeling great is the issue. I feel like I am nearly having a repeat of my hospital stay over Christmas. If that is the case, it's a good thing I have the whole summer to get back to normal, though I would not want to have the whole summer. I've been spending a lot of my time brainstorming a father's day gift. Of course my dad's only response when I asked him what he wanted, (and don't say nothing!) was "Oh, I really thought about this and I want nothing." Bravo, dad. I'm gettin' you jewelry.
