This is the entire set up. The pod holds up to 200u insulin. The black thing is the PDM which contains all the info. Just push the buttons and it does it all.

Whew! Wonderful that you were able to restart PDM. So that means that you are able to transfer infos into writing just in case? A1c of 6.5 is good ! Will you be more at risk for hypoglycemia going a bit lower? Not sure with how insulin pump technology now a day works. Plus, if you have problems with the heart, don't they want you to be not too tight?
Ms. Sas, a person got to enjoy life once in awhile yeah? Hahaha
Made modified soup bouillabaisse for dinner
Goats and Zill, will try the olive leaf tea this weekend and let you know. Mom said it's bitter so we shall see. Supposedly, it has anti inflammatory effect and helps strengthen the immune system. Don't know if there is any science based studies out there

Looks very yummy Loverly minus those mollusks lol. What did you use for a liquid base? We had frozen egg rolls, hungry from shopping. Tomorrow is white chicken chile, have some new chile seasoning. I have dry navy beans to make from scratch but shhh don't tell I also have canned if I get lazy.

Since I did get a restart, it won't stay on very long. It will be frustrating for sure. And there is more chance of hypos, I usually feel them coming. Can be hard to seperate from a hot flash! My PCP is happy, but if I'm fortunate enough to live another 15-20 years, that's plenty of time to develop complications from high bg.

Spookie, hope your new PDM gets there as planned. Can you get your numbers off the old one now that you have been able to reset it? It's really interesting to see the photo of one up close - I've only seen one from a distance, and don't know a whole lot about them, other than the basic concept. It's just amazing what they can do with technology nowadays - so different from when my niece's friend was diagnosed 15 years ago.
Jazzy, that e-card is so, so true. Sometimes we're paranoid for good reason!
LOL, Mags. I'll keep an eye out for the tick inspectors.
Queenie, I am planning to find some way to work the phrase "eager gerbil" into a conversation in the next week.
I've been feeling a mix of guilt and sadness tonight. I'm involved with a junior theater, and I had to drop out of my position this fall due to my surgery and the uncertainty of my treatment. I chose not to return after my surgery, because I already feel like I'm dealing with all I can handle, and it seemed better for continuity to not have someone leave and come back to the production. They have their first show tonight, and I'm feeling sad because this is the first time in years I haven't been involved. Folks wanted me to come to the performances, but I just can't do it - I think I'd cry through the whole thing, and it's a comedy, not a drama! Plus, people were talking about the difficulties they were having covering all the work when they are short one person - one person getting extra work put on her, another person having to bring her small children in and try to watch them at the same time while she covers for a person who is covering for me, another person running into some technical difficulties, and I'm not there to help...I guess I should feel good that it apparently takes two people to replace me, but I feel bad for not returning. But I would have been useless if I had returned, I'd just cry over the soundboard non-stop. Probably short it out.

The mollusks are the best part! Hubby and kids avoid them. More for me. I used whole prawns for the broth instead of fish. Chicken chile sounds yummy.
Glennie, you are stuck at work? Bummer. Well, at least you are employed. Glad I am not in hospital setting. Glad I dont have to do nights and rotating weekends

Aww Cubbie. Big bear hug. Btw, I saw that you were trying to hint to Ms. CHEVY to give Mr. G the sugarless candies to help with the constipation....uh huh tsk tsk

Loverly, apparently Mr. G isn't going to get unstopped any other way. Desperate times, desperate measures, you know.

As some of you may remember, I was at a family wedding last month and got to see my cousin who lives in Paris and meet her husband for the first time. When I saw the news this afternoon about the terrorism in France, I just though "oh god, no. We just saw them." Well, they are okay, but separated at the moment as her husband is in another location and she was planning to fly out to meet him tomorrow. With the borders closed, she won't be going anywhere for a bit. She is pretty freaked out, the city turned into a war zone tonight. This is their 911. I have that same sick feeling in my my stomach as I did back then. I hope if any of you have friends, friends or work colleagues there, that they are okay too.
Cubbie- hugs about having to give up the theater production. I can tell it is something you are passionate about and so tough on you to have to give it up right now. I am hoping you will be able to resume next year once you are done with treatment and recovery. Cancer treatment really does take over your life for awhile, but not forever. I am sorry about the whole matter.

Jazzy, thank goodness your cousin is OK. I can't imagine what the people of Paris are going through tonight.

Cubbie: is it just this 'season' of the theater that you're sitting out? But yeah, I wouldn't be able to go back either! As for gerbils, I'd come up with "brain gerbils" to describe the galloping (and largely irrational/unsolvable) worries that scampered around in my mind about cancer and treatment.
Kath: quite all right--I'm still celebrating, so not too late.
Following the news in/about Paris.

SAS thank you, and everybody!! I have to say DD is not in the pipe band pic, that is the HS and MS pipe bands.
Loverly, how did you know about TimTams? Yum!!
Sorry you're bummed about the play, there's always next year.

Happy belated birthday!!!!
Sas-schatzi invited me here, but I'm not sure if I'll post often. I am not an insomniac anymore, lol. Tbh, I still was for a few months after finishing chemo, but since, I've never gotten rid of fatigue and having chronic pain doesn't help with that either. I usually start snoozing while watching a movie around at most 10 pm and wake up anywhere between 4 am and 5 am.
I've been following what's going on in Paris. Horrible. My heart weeps for them.

Seachain (Day).........hi. glad you came. Glad you are back and NED. Too often when someone comes back it means a return of BC/MBC. We aren't just sleepless. It's a 24/7 day a week social thread. It was truly an insomniacs thread when I started it back in the day. But I changed that awhile back. It was my safe haven when I was being stalked by two members. The Mods prevented the stalkers from coming here by threatening a permanent ban if they posted here. It's worked out well. Lot's of nice folks here
Hope you drop in often.Those that commit terrorist acts are the epitome of evil.
