I was diagnosed a little over a month ago and it has been the scariest month of my life. It has been a little hard getting used to taking insulin, but I'm working on it. I live alone and so I am very nervous of going low so I'm stupidly obsessed…Continue

Looking for a job part 3
Part 3 starts off not with a baby but with a strike or a near strike. We were well along in the process of having our baby. Everyone was anxious as we finished the second week in August; 2 weeks overdue. Then on Thursday of the second week the local police officers temporarily walked off the job and I along with the Mayor was summoned to court. (Note here.. public employee strikes in Indiana are…

Victoza fixed my BS!

Despite rigorous monitoring of food intake, exercise and countless adjustments of my basal and bolus settings- good control or even mildly decent control has eluded me. Until now!!

Oops! There's a problem with inconsistant blogging ... you forget to add clarifying details.
Just a week or so after my post-rehab hospitalization, the doctors finally got around to wanting to remove the port in my chest wall to prevent infection. Went into a doctor's office and, after squirming around [on their part] about not wanting to remove it in the office, they finally did it. The doctor took some of that last blood for testing. Several days later, I get a call from the doctor…
