Todate :X-ray of arm , a body bone scan , a hip X-ray , because the bone scan showed bursitis in the right hip , and an ultra sound of the arm ...I had lympnodes removed in 1984 ; wear a tension sleeve most of the time ( with the hot weather a darn nuisance, since I sweat a lot ;-( ) and had some massage treatments.

Cheers Nel! Thanks for asking about me, I'm very well thanks, and hope you are too. Just got back from Caribbean Cruise on Carnival Liberty. I tweeted several comments about being a t2dr on a cruise - storing insulin,emphasis on eating & drinking & so on. I gained about 4 lbs, & I regard that as a total victory in all the circumstance - my meter broke, so I was flying blind for a few days, though I know my body and food to avoid/minimize. I also found the gym was not so busy in late morning, which was fine for sea days. I'm starting the gastric bypass intake process soon at hospital in Hamilton (St. Josephs), but still not 100% sure I will do it. My docs prefer lap banding because it is adjustable/reversible, but it doesn't "cure" t2d the way roux-en-Y seems to do with 85% of patients.

Nel...when I met him this weekend, I told Sebastian that you said "hello."
He described you as a "ray of sunshine" and he also asked me to tell you "hi" back from him.

He then proceeded to finish the Ironman race, just as you had predicted :)

I got a practice pump today. Am delighted. I will be getting my own pump next week. On saline for a week to see how I get on. Happy so far and looking forward to being a pumper.

go to his profile page, and underneath his picture, you will see the words "add as a friend" - click on that and a little box will appear. you have the opportunity to add a little private message there. being a "friend" has the option of sending "private" messages that are sometimes useful. I think I'll add Henry as a friend right now!
