A Bad Low Strikes Again

I know Sunday seemed like any other day recently. I was stressed because only have 30 days to find a new place to rent is stressful. I know I did my normal things I needed to get done on Sunday. I know I went to take a shower and was getting out and passed out in the bathroom. Duchess I think tried to get my roommates attention but that was not working. Thankfully one of them finally knocked on the door then realized something was wrong. So they went in and then saw they called EMS. EMS arrived and had given me glucose by IV. I know I was shocked to wake up in a sheet around me. I was of course naked when I passed out. The interesting part is I had eaten about an hour and half before it happened. I know my blood sugar was in the 30's. So I am not sure what I could of done to prevent the issue.

I know I hate when the moments of scary appear because it is a great reminder of how things can become very dangerous. I know I pray each day to avoid these issues. I know my stress level is too blame for the incident. I am making sure that I am working out this week to help avoid these bad lows. I did notice this has helped me in the past avoid these types of incidents but because I am scrambling around to find a place I was not working out when I needed to be doing so. So I am making sure that I work out at least 30 minutes a day instead of the normal amount so I can still continue to search for new places. I am finding it so difficult to manage all the things I need to and still finish looking for a new place to live.

I know even Duchess has been stressed mostly by the fact that our routine has changed. As a service dog Duchess seems to thrive under a routine and what to expect. I know she seems to the best job when we stick to our normal routines verse not doing so. So I am in a weird predicament but at least I will hopefully be getting things settled down quickly and get back into a routine. I know a great deal will change in my life which I am okay with. I really wish I had more time to find a place but I have to try my best to get it all done. I am really praying I can handle the stress better so I can avoid any more incidents. I was extremely embarrassed to wake up only covered by a sheet. I guess it happens but I know I am always embarrassed afterwards.
