The credit for this post goes to Mrs. X. She inspired
me to write this small post as well resuscitate my blog which has not been
updated very frequently off late.
Mrs.X is a cheerful 60+ lady who has been managing her
blood sugars decently well. She is on a small dose of Glimepiride and
Metformin. She checks her blood sugars regularly. Doctor reviews are perfect
and no complications so far. In short she is the ideal patient every Doctor
would aspire for.
This cheerful lady went about doing her chores
gleefully till that day…
That day…. She got up in the morning as usual and went
to the bathroom. Her absentminded maid had forgotten to scrub the bathroom
floor. As soon as Mrs.X set foot on the bathroom floor she went sliding to
other corner of the bathroom. Her unplanned inertia was cut short by the wall
where she had hit her knee. With some help from her daughter she managed to
settle down on the bed with liberal supplies of ointments, thailams and how
water bag.
