I will. I'm lucky, I totaled my truck on the turnpike going 75, passed out from hypoglycemia hit barrier wall. Luckily i wasn't injured at all, and did not hit anyone else, crossed three lanes I was told before hitting wall. My blood sugar was 19 when ambulance picked me up. I thought I had spun out and was trying to restart my truck. Nurse passing by stopped stayed till highway patrol got there. They assumed I was drunk or on drugs thankfully paramedics realized I had lost consciousness because of blood sugar. I had 4 more episodes of passing out, once hitting my head on door knob 28 stitches, once at gym after walking on tread mill passing out in locker room. These occurred after Whipple procedure. That procedure is tough I will admit, much worse than 2 rotator cuff surgeries I've had. I know I'm blessed to have made it thru and try to stay positive that things will improve. This has definitely made me realize what's really important, and appreciate the real things in my life. The hardest part is the effect it has on our family and friends. I know I'm blessed and lucky
