Well much better today, thanks for asking p and Carole.
It is hard when you have a a cronic medical condition. Diabetes is progressive in nature. There is no cure. The better you mannage the longer you delay other diseases and side affects. My dad died at 68 from heart disease but also had many complications from being diabetic. Cronic nerve pain in his back and feet made him retire at 63. He had a heart bypass at 58 and should have retired then but my mother said his disability payments would not be enough to live on. As it was she was crying when he took early retirement stating „she was used to being taken care of better than this!” I told her maybe it was time she worked for a while ( she was 59 ).
I am seriously thinking about contacting the insurance and just starting on the insulin pump. I am not sure what they will pay and I know it cost about $1000 a month.
I have Debbie in the guest room sleeping. She had a long trip and of course downtown was packed with people from the marithon but we stopped for a bite and now she is resting. The weather is beautiful and camping was really nice. Wish I had planned better but thats life-10 things to do or nothing to do.
Trying to pick up a bit without waking Deb.
Work is still strange. With a new assistant trying to make her way and a new manager it is like having strangers in the house. So far so good but this manager „talks the sales talk” which I find so phony it makes me a bit crazy. He has now stated a 2nd time that he should buy me „Rosetta Stone” so I can speak spanish. ( That a language learning program) The next time I am going to tell him when I move to Mexico I will welcome that as a gift! Sorry but I would not move to a foreign country and expect them to speak english. I find his remark raicist but I am trying not to get off on the wrong foot with him so so far I have smiled and laughed it off.
Looking foward to my week off!
