[Focus man. Focus.]

Well not that I expect any sympathy but I thought I would share what has gone on in my life over the past couple of weeks with me. It all started on Feb 18th when I had a problem with my diabetes. It seems that the insulin that I was taking decided to go haywire. It shot my blood sugar levels sky high and then dropped me into a serious low. This in turn caused me to have a seizure, pass out and give me a serious concousion aswell as almost bite my tongue off. This happened on Feb 18th and I am only just starting to get my feet back on the ground.

I have been an insulin dependant diabetic since I was 18 years old but I never took it seriously, until now. After this happened on the 18th until yesterday I cannot remember anything. I have no memory of the past 2 and a half weeks. Talk about scary. I have been in and out of the hospital. I am now on 2 new kinds of insulin and all kinds of meds to get me back on my feet. Luckily I have my fiance Lindsey by my side to take care of me and protect me when I drop into a low blood sugar reaction.

This has really opened my eyes to the seriousness of this disease. I have lived with it for 15 years and really didn't care to much about it. My doctor always checked my A1C levels and said that I was doing a good job controling it so I never gave it much thought, Until now.

I don't want to bore you with all the the medical details but after all this I will not take my health for granted any more. This has truly been a long over due eye opener for me, and luckily I am now on the road to recovery. Thank goodness I live with Lindsey because if I didn't you would all be talking about me in the past tense.

The doctor has put a medical suspension on my drivers license until I get my new insulin and levels under control. Honestly I don't blame him. I haven't been myself lately, especialy with my memory loss. This has been the toughest time in my life that I have ever gone through. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I won't bore you with any more of the gory details but I thought I would let you all know what is going on in my life as I have not been around I a while. If anyone wants any information on Diabetes I can help with some info or point you in the direction of some great reference material.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all around at a meet soon.

Your friend, Kevin.
