I forgot!

Adele ... forgive me ...I forgot to "RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT" on October 1st! Oh pooh! What can I say ????

The pump my Mom started on first part of August has been "fired" by my Mom! (I call her The Myrnx) ... So distressing to me, her numbers were so good (with the pump) I truly believe it would have added years to her life, QUALITY YEARS ... full of fun and being able to scooty-poop around again and do all the fun things we used to love to do! Yard Sales, apple picking in Apple Valley, trips to SeaWorld and the Zoo and so MANY MANY things we did on a regular basis UNTIL the "EVIL D" decided to give The Myrnx "Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy" !!!

I am taking her into the Endo again tomorrow to DISCUSS all of the ramifications of going back to insulin shots. (He only put her on the pump because after 25 plus years of dealing with her T1, she has NEVER been able to really maintain any continuity with the numbers.) The Myrnx is truly a diabetic paradox! Oh well ... I'm so tired out I can't think straight anymore. It is so very very depressing ... AND to top off the whole thing ... The Myrnx's Endo thinks I am her OLDER SISTER every time I meet with him .... that's how much the Evil-D has aged me in the past 7 months ... since Ashlee, the 6-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with T1 also! I don't care, I've earned these wrinkles and, if it really starts bothering me, I am fortunate to live in the Plastic Surgery Mecca of the West Coast! HA HA HA ... Dr.90210, do you give a AAA discount?

I'm going to bed!

what to do...what to do ? ? ?

The kids were here from Arkansas for Ryan and Heidei's wedding! Always a treat to get to be with them all. Ashlee (T1 grandchild) is such a treasure and although I shouldn't have favorites, she certainly is the one MOST on my mind, heart and prayers!

I know (from my Mom's T1) that any kind of stress or change can effect the BG, so I shouldn't be concerned with Ashlee's numbers ...BUT I AM! Maybe its "growth spurt" or the trip stress, but that's child's' #'s were all OVER the board. She really could benefit from the pump, but her Endo won't consider Rx'ing it without documented brittle readings. Amy, bless her heart, doesn't log or measure anything. (I'd be crazy with out the numbers in front of me.) She doesn't remember when or if she's given a correction or what Ashlee ate, etc. etc. etc. SHE is just to busy with everything else, so what to do??? She'll never get a pump without logs for Endo to review ... they are coming back next month for a business trip, we'll have them 14 days. I am praying that Ashlee will come with us. I know Amy may change her thinking if we can show an improvement in Ashlee's numbers ... PRAY FOR ME ...
