They examined my head and not much was found

Last night at church I fell and hit my head. Took 40 minutes for the ambulance
to get there. Cindy said I needed stitches. I said just duct tape it and go home.
But it was a fairly hard hit and there was blood. The ER doc said I
didn't need stitches. BUT, my blood sugar was 392; so they gave me a shot
of insulin and kept me till my blood sugar levels came down to a more
acceptable level. I got home about midnight last night.

Church had just been dismissed and I was walking toward the restrooms.
All of a sudden things got blurry, then double vision, and I must of looked
like I was drunk staggering from one side of the aisle to the other holding onto
church pews until I finally missed one and fell. I hit my head on a church pew.

Somebody called 911 and put Cindy on the phone. Because I'm on Hospice
they had to transfer the call to somewhere else. I don't know where or why.
After Cindy waited on hold for 20 minutes she hung up and called back.
The 911 call center had dropped the call. This time they transferred and it
worked. They asked "How far did he fall?" and Cindy thinking it to be an
odd question repeated it. I heard her and very loudly spoke "All the way to the floor." I hope they heard me. They did explain the reason for the question.

The rest of the night was mostly just sitting in the ER. They got my
blood sugar down to somewhere around 200 and sent me home.
