Today has been a great day to stay home!  I just finished mac and cheese prep to go with a nice Mackenzie ham for dinner.  (2 mac and cheeses, one with gluten free buckwheat flour and gluten free pasta for me and the other regular.  The gluten free actually tastes really good.  I'm getting pretty good at adapting to this diet.  

The neighbor Nick bottomed out his blood sugar again last night.  Got a call at 2:30 am from Sue asking me to come over.  He was disoriented, Short of breath and his blood sugar was only 36.  We got him to sit up, gave him juice with about 4 tablespoons of sugar in it which he managed to get down.  Within a few minutes he was back to his old self mentally...saying that he "got the whole neighborhood up"  We waited for the ambulance and helped get him on the stretcher.  He ended up in ICU with CHF and hopefully they'll have the diabetes doc consult.  His hand looks really good, I think they just fluid overloaded him.

It's still snowing...supposed to get 8-10 inches today and tonight.  The Wii is awesome!  We all enjoy it.  Had dinner at Sue's last night, filet, beans, potatoes and dessert...so much for the no desserts after Jan. 1st!
