It - - - is - - - Amazing!
Coming into this new stage of Type One, I had my doubts. But now that I am functioning fully on my pump, I can definitely say that I love it.
I went into the appointment feeling a little hesitant. After attending both Hannah's and Daniel's pump meetings, I always came away with the same fact:
Pump Appointments = many hours in doctor's office.
However, this appointment ended up being absolutely amazing!
The best part was my pump educator. Only a few minutes into our conversation, I began to notice that he seemed more knowledgeable then any of the other pump educators. . .
Come to find out, he has had diabetes since he was thirteen, and has been pumping for 18 years!
As I stated in a previous post, there is nothing like meeting another Type One! Once my brain acquired the information of his "Type-One-ness," it was all uphill from there!
On the way back from the doctor, I barely had the pump on for an hour and yet a certain sense of freedom came over me. With only one hour on the pump, I had already given the equivalent of four shots - without actually giving one!
~ Freedom ~
No doubt this coming week will include "bumps in the road," but I'm looking forward to living out the rest of my days . . . on AAA batteries! (I know, I like that phrase) :)
So happy you finally got a pump! Just met another Type one girl last night, and though we didn't talk Type One I had an amazing respect for her...she is in culinary school and such a go-getter! Great to hear your updates too! Miss you kiddo :)
ReplyDeleteKeep forgetting to mention it, but I also work with a young man who has type one. His name is Eli, I've mentioned your family and blog to him several times.
