Monday, 6 April 2015

I got up early this morning and got in a nice walk.

I got some work done on my orchestral variations on HaTikva. It's slow going, but I'm gradually making some progress.

I didn't teach today because I had taken a vacation day. Since today is a holiday in most of Europe, I probably wouldn't have had many students anyway. Originally, we had an appointment with the doctor in Be'er Sheva today, but some weeks back they sent us letter changing it to the 20th. So, I've taken a vacation day for the 20th, too, and, hopefully, they won't reschedule that one, as well.

David did NOT have a very good day today. He managed to get up long enough to eat a normal breakfast, but he hasn't eaten anything at all since then. He's been in bed almost all day, and every time he sits up he can hardly stay up. I've helped him to the living room and to the bathroom a few times, but he's very shaky. It's like the electricity keeps dropping out for fractions of seconds. He also has been quite confused. Luckily, he has avoided falling. I'll make sure he gets some carbs into him before bedtime so his blood sugar won't go dangerously low during the night. I have already suspended his insulin pump so that he's not receiving the basal rates (background amounts of insulin normally delivered at regular intervals throughout the day).
