| I had a very similar incident. I was in a line up at a check out with my son (9). all of a sudden, I was dizzy, sweaty, feeling weird and the room started spinning. Luckily, I had some glucose pills in my pocket, and I took a couple. Afterwards, I thought "what would my son have done if I had passed out?" He probably would have been terrified. After that, I sat him down and we talked about how I felt, and what he should do if that ever happens. He has been very aware of my diabetes, and sees my meds and sees me taking my blood. He knows to call 911, and to inform the medics that I am diabetic. It gives me a little bit of piece of mind. I'm planning a 3 day camping trip with my son this summer, and I admit I'm a little nervous.
My suggestion is to talk with your children about your situation. Their reactions might surprise you.
Don't beat yourself up as a father. The fact that you were even playing catch with your daughter means you're a caring dad! |
