i have not been sleeping i him up for over fourty eight hours get a little sleep than up for fourty eight hours again. the va social worker,home health nurse, and mental health doctor. his worry about me not sleeping i don't fell save driving with lack of sleep they are trying to get the dav van to pick me up so i can go to the mental health walk in clinic and be seen. the doctor considers it an emergency and would see me on and emergency basis. i slept at two am until one pm today. so i will be up for some time again its after midnight and i him wide awake. my house keeper his coming tommorrow that the va pays for. the old social worker retired and for volenteer work he going to come out once a month to help with cleaning my house and he coming later today both of them i should say as its after midnight and wednesday the day that they are coming. think god i got the computer i him puting baseball cards in to my computer pricing them. i him coming on to ds ever so often checking my emails. i him also playing games so it helps to have something to do well i him awake. i him haveing a lot of low blood sugars the home health nurse thinks my insulin needs to be lower but no response from the doctor. i told the nurse that i him not taking my insulin if my blood sugar is below one hundred as i could kill myself and she agree with that. she is quite mad that the doctor don't answer her about lowering my insulin. i have never had problems with high blood pressur before but i have had two real high readings with the low number also over one hundred which is dangerous. the doctor gets those readings ever day except for thursday my day off and still no response from him. my mental health doctor his more consern about me than my medical doctor. i hope the van picks me up this week so i can be seen the social worker is going to call me when she hears from them one way or another if they will pick me up or not. they better i him a life member of the dav but that dam van does't want to come to urbandale they do west desmoines and urbandale his no futher for them but i have been refused by those bastards before. if i could i would stop being a member of their organization but i him a life member so i can't. i pay could money in dues to be a life member they should do something for me when i need their help that what they are suppouse to do take care of disabled veterens like me. guess that enough bitching i don't like to have to write negative journal entries.

It\'s ok to get things off your chest:) Sometimes it helps.
Hey,
You are only human like the rest of us and sometimes we do get mad and when you don\'t feel good that even makes it worse.
I will be praying that the van will pick you up.
Take care, and try not to worry, I know that I am the worst person to give advice about worrying.
You write whatever you need and want to write. You are a human being. I enjoy reading your journals because you are so thorough about what is going on with you. I hope the van can pick you up so you don\'t have to drive with lack of sleep. You are right, it isn\'t safe to drive in that condition. Well, I better get going, have to take care of my sister\'s car today. You\'re in my thoughts and prayers. vickie
va social worker? is that \"va\" as in Virginia?
Sometimes it\'s just good to vent and get things out. Hopefully the van will come get you this time and you\'ll be seen. Not sleeping is bad, and definitely the combo of high blood pressure and low sugar levels needs to be evaluated. Hang in there friend! Hugs, Trish
We are here to listen. Take of that blood sugar, am glad you are not drinking on top of it. How are things going with your sports card collection?
Hugs, Gail
it\'s good for you to get all that stuff off your chest. maybe all those things are keeping you from sleping. so vent them in here and maybe you can get some rest. i think you should be treated like a king for all that you have done for your country, thanks...xoxo...debbie
