*********************************
If we were to have a coffee chat this weekend it would be about the continuing issues with my insulin pump. My last change messed up numerous times and I wasted several reservoirs trying to fill them and of course loss of all the insulin. I don’t know what happened after the great success last time. Tonight I must do it again. I hope I don’t have to call again as the idiot I just talked to after I put the wrong info in and wanted to know if I could correct it. He simply didn’t get what I was saying and he was giving me wrong information and not listening either I don’t think. I was half asleep tonight while inputting dinner’s numbers in and according to him I can’t fix it.
It got up in the 70’s today. Being on the 6th floor I had to turn on my air conditioner to bring down the intense heat. I only have had to turn on the heat this winter maybe 5 times tops. The heat rises and most days the windows are open and the fans on all winter.
I had to call my pain dr every day for a week to get my pain medicine. Both the pharmacy and the pain dr every day sometimes twice a day.
Looking forward to Sunday my weekly brunch with my best friend. Always a relaxing way to unwind. Have a good week.

Sorry to hear that it was a bit of a tough week. Lunch on Sunday sounds like a great way to unwind and end one week while leading into the next. Hope you have a great weekend.

Sorry to hear about your hassles, I hope everything works out and is back to normal soon.. And yes, a rescheduled brunch will be nice to look forward to.. And I’d give anything for it to be in the 70s! 🙂 It’s still winter here.

The temperature surprised me for sure. It is back in the 40’s again, but it was a nice break.

Thanks yes it has been rough. My memory is very bad so I can’t remember how to do the changing of tubing and reservoirs without help.

How about recording a successful change and then you can playback for instructions and guideline without?
