Health Update #2 & Story News!


Renee Stevens

1,044 views

So, I just realized I never updated my blog after receiving the results of my a1c test. The results from that pretty much came back like we had thought and showed me as being pre-diabetic (type 2). I've tried to be a good girl and lay off a lot of the sugars, but that is easier said than done.

 

Now, to add another level to my health issues. Sunday morning, I woke my hubby up at 4 am (not purposely) by sitting up in bed, my arms pulled in close to my body, my entire body tense, my mouth open, groaning, and my body shaking for a couple of minutes. So once again, I scared the holy hell out of my husband. We were out camping at the time and once I started to come out of it, he started asking me questions that I should know, but which I didn't. He asked me about the date (it was my birthday) and I denied it was my birthday, yet I could apparently tell him what my date of birth was. He gave me a little bit of juice (thinking it could be something with my blood sugar dropping) and then helped me out to my camp chair before going and waking up my parents. Much of this I don't even remember. I remember after I sat down in my chair, but nothing prior to that.

 

For the rest of the day, my family kept a close eye on me and later that night my husband and I came home. I called my neurologist on Monday and he got back to me and told me that it sounded to him like I had suffered a Complex Partial Seizure. It could have been brought on by stress or it could have been triggered by a drop in my glucose levels, we don't know for sure. Either way, my neurologist has once again put me on an anti-convulsive medication (been off the meds for over 8 years) which (here's the silver lining) also double as a treatment for chronic migraines.

 

Now that the health update is out of the way, onto story news!

 

Forging Trust: I have not forgotten this story. I just haven't been able to get back into the story, but I am trying. I hope to have something new out within the next couple of months.

 

Line of Sight (Saturday Shorts): I know I have missed a couple of postings on this, but I am still doing the story. I had planned to have chapters done prior to going on vacation but it didn't happen. The next chapter of this story will be out July 27th!

 

Thwarted: The next chapter will be live on the 20th of July, only a few short days away.

 

I am still working on my stories and while I hope to not have any further delays I can't promise, especially with the health issues that I've got going on. All I can promise is to do my best to get the stories out as soon as possible.

 

Cheers to All!
