I got out today. The local doc's shall I say put a band aid" on the situation and want me to go to my transplant hospital since they prescribed all the new meds. The bp was suppose to be bs for blood sugar. It's an odd, yet good feeling when that drops way low. I could not feel that anymore prior to my transplant. They were going to keep me another day, but they asked if I wanted to go and I said yes of course even though I know I am not ready, just feel, well just don't feel right as I usually do. I have to go up to my transplant center to get looked at and get med situation under control, but don't have much faith in them doing anything.

Why would a male (CNA) call another male hun? That was the weirdest experience I have ever had I can recollect during a hospital stay. No idea how to respond without a puzzled look on my face.

Chris, glad they let you out and that must mean you are doing better. Hospitals are no fun.
Hopefully the transplant center will have better answers for you.
