This is a little story that I wrote awhile back and thought you all here would enjoy it! :)


Aaaaaaaaaaah!

We've made it!! Feb 6th, 2002. Pump and I celebrated our one year anniversary!! Now you might be wondering how we are doing. Is this relationship as perfect as some others say? Well let me tell you how it is for us.

As with any relationship, we have had our ups and downs (300-20), our share of disagreements......(you can't possible be outta insulin!! It's 3 in the morning!!) and sure there have been times when I have really gotten caught up (tubing tubing tubing) in this relationship of ours. But I now have someone to do everything with and I am rarely ever alone.

Sure there are times I would like Pump not to be so close to me, (sleeping under my back!!) but when you love something you will make allowances (and room)for it.

We've grown through all of this, really close at times (60mm) and drifted a bit apart (110mm) at others, but we have always, through it all, stayed connected to each other.

I can say, with one hundred percent assurance and truthfulness, that I love pump and will always do my best to make this relationship of ours work!

So to all you out there who are in a relationship like mine, I would like to encourage you to hang in there. Trust me here, this relationship is better then the one I had with Needles!

that story is absolutely beautiful !
I too am "one" with my pump.
I remember when I contacted my Minimed rep and told him of experiences with my pump and in 2 weeks how much better I felt.
He said to me-You have become one with your pump.
Yes , it is a part of me
and
A part i love too.
