I am tired

1) I have not been active at TuDiabetes for many months, after a long time of being very active.

3) i had a bout with a mild strain of C. diff in late fall 2008. Last test on that was negative.
4) I have stomach problems (vomiting) most likely due to gasteopareisis. My diabetes doc has prescribed reglan at meal times for me. I am in care of a stomach doctor (gastroenterologist) for under a month. Besi… Continue

More Stuff in My Life (Part 2)

Our vacation plans have changed, as plans sometimes do.. Instead of a week in June in Nice, France, it is now two weeks in July somewhere TBD around Antalya, Turkey. I got a Hep A vaccine Thursday in preparation for the trip. Hep A vaccine is recommended by the CDC for travel to Turkey. Me being a bit immune-deficient (from immunosuppresent drugs), I did as suggested. My contact at the kidney post-transplant center said that this common vaccine is no problem to me since it is not a live virus.… Continue

"Does it hurt?"

When I was brand new to type 1 diabetes so many years ago, the most horrible thing about it was that I had to take shots and that the shots "hurt". Later on when i thought about maybe using an insulin pump, the most horrible thing about it was that I would be attached to this thing all the time.

Today, I was waiting for my lunch to heat in the microwave oven at work. Someone asked me if I took the finger stick blood tests. They asked me if they hurt. From where I am nowadays, a question like th… Continue

Fun with my leaky water heater

Yes, it's leaked over the place. The water is shut off, the windows are open, and the fans are starting to get the moisture out. The tank itself is within its ten year warranty. Tomorrow the plumbing company who installed it will get the call to come fix it. Condo unit downstairs is empty, owner moved to AZ, a Realtor is handling it. and I have no contact info for either of them. I will call the condo mgt company to see if they have a contact. I will talk to my home-owner's insurance agent tomor… Continue
