Augh! Everything's going crazy!!!

1. Murphy (our dog) is sick. He had the runs really badly yesterday. I had the day off b/c I just got home from my trip to Ohio to visit my mom's side of the family, so I had time to take him in to the vet. Vet thinks he has a bacterial infection from coming in contact with other animals' feces (including goose poop), and has him on antibiotics. Also bought his heartworm meds and some special food for him to eat until his tummy's better. $200 later.... :P

2. The CGMS sensor I put in yesterday HURTS! I've never had them hurt before. And since I pay for them out of pocket, I REALLY don't want to take it out and put a new one in.

3. The CGMS sensor I put in yesterday doesn't seem to be working. It got me up multiple times last night when I wasn't even remotely close to as low as it said. In fact, one time I was high when it said I was low! Augh! I'm trying to calibrate it a few more times before I give up on it, but I might have to change it after all. Either way, I did NOT sleep well last night
b/c of it.

4. I woke up with a bloodsugar of 300 during the night last night...for no obvious reason. I wondered if I had an occlusion, but when I did a correction bolus it worked, and it brought my bloodsugar down, so who knows what happened. Frustrating and made me feel like ****.

5. This morning I realized that I didn't take my Effexor (anxiety meds) last night. So for the last few hours my head has been wonky and I can't think straight or walk a straight line. *sigh*

6. When I took my breakfast bolus, I got a "No Delivery" message on my pump. I tried it again just to be sure, and "No Delivery" again. So I changed out the whole set while my oatmeal got cold, and then I STILL kept getting "No Delivery" while I was trying to prime it! It seemed like the reservoir plunger was maybe stuck. But eventually it worked. I still brought tons of extra supplies to work today in case it craps out again. And trying to figure out all this stuff while I had an "Effexor-withdrawal-head" didn't work very well.

7. The garage door wouldn't close when we left for work.

8. First day back at work after holidays. That's never fun.

9. Computer was SUPER slow when I first got here. Now it seems to be working, though.

I don't have a number 10. I'll just be thankful for that. :P


I wasn't sure which forum to put this in....so here it sits in Diabetes Type 1, because that's what a number of my frustrations pertain to....
