After getting to bed so late last night, we naturally got up very late this morning, as well, and I didn't get out for any exercise at all.
There's an interesting part of the story that I forgot to include in last night's post. When we got to the ER, the main doctor assigned to us was actually not a doctor at all, but a medical student. Of course, a real doctor was also very involved. But the cool part was that the medical student, who is studying at Ben Gurion University (in Be'er Sheva) but is on a rotation in Eilat, was an American, from Colorado. So, he was actually relieved to be able to talk to us in English rather than in Hebrew. He was also very nice and, I might add, very cute! Yes, we are now officially dirty old men. OK, really we have already been for a very long time. LOL
I taught 8 units of Berlitz lessons today: 12:00-1:30, 3:30-5:00, 5:00-6:30, and 6:30-8:00. We ordered pizza for lunch, and I thought I had allowed plenty of time before my 3:30 lesson. However, rather than the half-hour that they told me on the phone (and that I had planned for before I called anyway), it was nearly a whole hour before the pizza arrived. In fact, I had to take a quick break right AFTER starting my lesson in order to receive the pizza. I managed to eat my pieces during times when I had given the students some writing to do, but it was certainly less than ideal. Poor David had to eat his pieces all alone in the kitchen. Oh well, I guess it was okay in the end.
We are still fighting David's blood sugar, but we have succeeded much better today at keeping it from going really high. I think we'll now be able to manage it, although he's still requiring more than twice the usual amounts of insulin.
