Todd Carey commented on Molly P.'s blog post 'Pirate Molly'"I'm in need of a vitrectomy too and it freaks me out. But everyone says that they see all better afterwards! I HATE the blurry bloody vision. Best of luck, if you ever think of it, let me know how it all works out."

I went yesterday for my first laser treatment in my left eye. I've already had 2 in my right eye so I was expecting it to be pretty routine.

Bradford commented on Molly P.'s blog post 'I am more than my disease.'"Glad you were quick to get the black spot checked out and to be so aggressive about treating it! Very close call, but happy you are motivated to manage diabetes, and to motivate others. Very inspiring, so keep it up!"

Diabetic Tattoo
My first tattoo :) I got it just after my 21st birthday. The hot air balloon represents always reaching for the sky, to always keep your goals set high. It's swinging in the wind to show that diabetes has obstacles, but the ladder represents being…

I am new Type 1 and alumni of the Disney College Program-- actually, I'm going down for a second program in February (should be interesting this time around with diabetes on the side!) but I just had to give a shout-out to a fellow bookworm and Disney lover! :)
