Seriously bad night last night

I had a reasonably good day yesterday. I had quite a few things to do but felt tired. I know it was hot...really hot...and I think that was most of the problem. Anyway, I got home at a little after 5:30. I had roasted a chicken and made mashed potatoes with some cheese. Green beans. Yummy. I ate and took a shower. Granted...it was chicken two days in a row (make that 3...Husband made chicken salad tonight) but I like chicken. Good protein. So I took a shower and laid down. We watched a movie the name which escapes me...and I was totally relaxed. But not feeling quite right. Very tired.

After almost two hours, I decided to get up and get a bottle of water. I saw stars and bright lights and every planet in the Universe! I didn't take four steps and down I went. Husband was spooked out of his mind and was saying...Are you alright? Are you alright?? Sure...I love sitting on the floor...join me!!

"I've felt a whole lot better!" I told him.

"What do you need? Do you need another pill? Water? A cup of sugar?" he asked.

"Maybe some orange juice" I figured that couldn't hurt.

I stabbed myself and my blood sugar was 40. 40!!! I almost fainted again! And I swear, I had eaten properly all day...and had a great supper....I have no idea what brought it on. The juice only kicked it up to 55...so I had toast with melted cheese...climbed to 68. Then a boiled egg. Within the hour it was up to 88 and I was able to walk around without my eyes rolling back in my head. I can honestly tell you that I was terrified. I'm still blaming the heat...I just don't know. I was better today and was glad to be in the office. I had lots to do but nothing that I had to concentrate on to stress myself out. I checked my sugar probably 8 times today and it stayed in the safe range. And I ate every 2 hours....I only have a bit of a headache tonight, but I feel so much better.

And it was triple digits again today. There were a few thunderstorms to the east of us but nothing here. We have had smoke in the air for (ever) a while in the morning and I know most of it is from the back burn of the only fire we have around us right now...but I worry about the residual smoke coming from Arizona. I can't imagine how intense it is in the fire area. Even our fires here weren't nearly as horrendous...and I am selfishly worried about smoke coming here...I'm sorry.

I suppose I'll push 'publish' and get some rest. It should be an easy day tomorrow. I sure hope so. Have a nice evening!
