Because Fifty-Fifty When It's Non Close Diabetes, D Is Like: Await What 1 Tin Do!

It’s been an interesting distich of days involving lots of cursing in addition to me hobbling some on crutches after trigger-happy my correct quad musculus on Lord's Day afternoon. 

 It happened after a workout, nigh my car. I was turned a weird way, my kicking got caught in the sidewalk, I twisted, heard a loud pop, landed on my left hip (which was fine,) in addition to my correct thigh felt similar it was on fire. 
It wound similar hell in addition to I screamed the give-and-take F^CK  in secession and at a rapid burn downwards pace! 
I convey a high tolerance for hurting in addition to I knew I was inward problem when I set my correct human foot on the gas peddle in addition to screamed, because spell my human foot felt fine, it seriously felt similar some 1 was slicing my thigh. 
I called my friend, she came to where I was parked in addition to drove me to the ER.  

The Annoying News: It hurts when I stand upwards up; when I sit down down, when I unexpectedly flex my leg or deed it wrong. 
I'm non nor convey I e'er been a contortionist, so the whole "elevating my thigh inward a higher house my view spell icing," was excruciatingly comical. 

I can’t deed the quad past times certainly points in addition to belongings my correct talocrural articulation inward a quad stretch is impossible.

When it offset happened, every fourth dimension I tried to elevator my thigh, it felt similar 50 lb weight was attached to it - directly it feels similar a 25 lb weight.

Sidebar: I didn't realize how depression to the the world my can was until Lord's Day night. 
And I never realized how depression to the the world many cars are until Lord's Day nighttime or how much you lot convey to stretch your quad to go inward to a high vehicle. 
And it was less than pleasant when I realized that you lot used your quad musculus to close the automobile door, set on your socks, non to refer your pants in addition to shoes. 
So yeah, GOOD TO KNOW. 

The Good News: It’s fixable in addition to the hurting is much improve than it was on Sunday, and much to a greater extent than tolerable today than it was yesterday. I tin can drive, 
I'm using the crutches less in addition to less - which is what the Ortho demands in addition to I agree. USE information technology OR LOSE IT.
PT (Physical Therapy,) officially starts on Fri - in addition to unofficially started yesterday when myOrtho showed me some quad stretches to produce inward a chair or spell standing.  
I’m traveling a lot inward the side past times side distich of weeks, so if you lot encounter me inward existent life, - I’ll endure doing PT exercises mid conversation - in addition to I volition most probable curse similar a crewman  when I stand upwards up in addition to or sit down down. 

How does a torn quad musculus relate to diabetes? 
Technically, trigger-happy my musculus had aught to produce alongside diabetes - but diabetes withal managed to come upwards forepart middle in addition to shout: Look what I tin can do!
And in addition to so I was like: SHUT UP DIABETES, this isn't nearly you!!
Pre 'pop goes the muscle' and post workout (thank you lot decreased temp basal rate,) my blood saccharide was 120. 
I was happy alongside that. 

When I arrived at the ER 25 minutes subsequently in addition to checked it again, my blood saccharide had shot to 172, in addition to so 200, in addition to stayed betwixt 200 in addition to 202 for several hours.  
I knew the adrenaline was causing the increase in addition to I didn’t worry nearly it, only it was interesting to encounter it play out. 
My blood pull per unit of measurement area besides shot upwards because of the adrenaline in addition to the hurting - that upset me. 
The ER staff was less than thrilled, in addition to they continued to scout it. 
Luckily for me it went downwards past times the fourth dimension they were giving me my go out paperwork. 

I'd endure lying if I said I wasn't worried nearly non beingness able to produce daily cardio, I am. 
But I’ve besides decided that I volition workout similar a boss inward PT - in addition to walking volition besides endure a purpose of of the PT, thus purpose of my cardio.
And I know the PT volition wound - non thrilled nearly that. But I besides know that if I don’t produce it, I volition endure subsequently - so yep, I'm going to produce it.


Shit happens inward all of our lives, diabetes or non - in addition to nosotros alternative ourselves upwards past times our bootstraps, fifty-fifty if it hurts similar a bitch in addition to nosotros are less in addition to so steady on our feet. 

We produce what nosotros must and "we larn past times alongside a petty aid from our friends." 
Friends who maintain us steady, dry out our tears, force/go alongside us to the ER, drive us to the chemist's shop in addition to brand us express mirth in addition to smiling - And nosotros maintain forging ahead alongside gusto.
