My doctor wants to burn a hole in my heart.Technically what he wants to do is ablate (v.tr. 1. Medicine To excise, amputate, or otherwise destroy the biological function of) part of the wall of my right atrium.He says it won't interfere with my training for the Denver Marathon in September, which kind of sucks because I don't want to train for it and was looking for an excuse.

Alaska Cruise Days three and Four
We've been at see for two days and unwilling to pay the exorbitant Internet access fees. Thus the blog was suspended until we reached Juneau and the public wifi afforded by the Juneau Public Library.
The end of day two was uneventful; no different than residing in a floating hotel. Th accommodations are not spacious, but are certainly comfortable. Gels had her hair done at the inboard shop then we went to diner informal attire and were… Continue

Alaska cruise Blog Day Two
Alaska has its own Time Zone. News to me. I thought it just stayed light longer. So we're an hour behind L.A. which is no problem, just a surprise.
The good news is that I found my blood glucose meter in my carry-on. Which is where I thought it was, but couldn't find yesterday. Which means I was wrong when I said it was where I could picture it on the bar at home. So much for ESP.
We spent three hours in the Ted Stevens Anchorage… Continue

Alaskan Cruise Day One

I am sabotaging myself. On this trip to Alaska I have left behind both my blood glucose meter and my continuous glucose monitor. This must mean that psychologically I am in denial and have subconsciously taken a vacation not only from the work a day world but from diabetes.
Not to worry , though. I have an extra meter in my luggage. As for the CGM, I have an extra sliver of metal and plastic inserted in my abdomen for no reason. It's sending signals but they're not being received.… Continue

- What?! You ran the Carlsbad Half, thought you saw me, and didn't say hi?
Yes, I was volunteering at the Insulindependence booth again this year. Next year the plan is to run...we'll see how I do at the Rock n Roll half in June, my first.
Keep it up Terry, you da man!!

Amy said… - Hi Terri! Thanks for the friend add. Thanks for saying the comment was not intended to me....I was on the computer way to late. Normally, I stay far away from forums like that. I just thought dickangel was pushing peoples buttons way to much. I would like to think I have gained some wisdom with age and luckily not to much offends me any more.
Your attitude towards getting Diabetes is great. Congrats on quitting smoking and your marathons! Well done!

Gary said… - Yeah. I was at that table and I was at the BBQ too for a little while.
I had a good race. Was on track for a sub 4, but hit the wall at 23 and had to take some walk breaks. Finished in 4:05.
We are already planning to go back next year. We had a great time and LOVED SoCal!
