The world is so disappointing.
Smart, kind person suggest Bubs cured if get gastric bypass surgery. 85% of day spent visualize punch speaker face. Wish could force self focus on positive; instead eat vegan cowboy cookies, get all pent-up frustration, furious no time watch 2-hour Mad Men season premier (available in full, for free, AMC site)—-Sally Draper perfect expression troubled soul.
Meanwhile, Bigfoot try become proficient change infusion set solo–try get spouse stay in kitchen empty dishwasher. Line up all materials: tubing, cartridge, lobster claw thing, insulin, IV prep pad. Cue helpful video: Diabetic Danica show step-by-step how proceed. On other computer, Bubs watch Annoying Orange. Utterly absorb. It just Bigfoot, Danica, A. Orange, and Bubs’s motionless bum.
I might start smoking, just so I can make this face at people who tell me about gastric bypass surgery.
Spouse pop in, “Everything OK?” Yes! I have Diabetic Danica on. “Oh, OK. Good. Well, let me know if you need any help.” So eager help. Bubs’s bum still motionless. Everything set. Line up shooter. Ready. Aim. Fi–spouse back: “Should I flip those carrots in the oven?” Grrrr. Just let me concentrate! Too bad Bigfoot not ask for help–only load 39u in cartridge. That not enough. Have to change site again tomorrow. Also panic at end: find pump piece, no idea how use/where go. Relief: it misplaced Lego.
Bigfoot/Bigfoot spouse decide tonight stay up watch Mad Men premier. Even though need sleep, probably not able rest until see if Sally Draper OK.
Sally is FINE. wanna watch friday morning?
i am punching gastric bypass lady too!
if it KILLS ME, i’m watching it tonight. i hate it that you’ve seen it and i haven’t!
Maybe I’m still all new to this but I find myself gobsmacked so badly when people say insensitive things like: one week after my son was diagnosed someone asked me if I was “on top of the situation” yet!!!! my heart almost stopped beating and I don’t think I breathed for a week after…realise I need to learn some really good comeback or at least visualize punching their lights out!!! Cannot tell you how much your blog is helping me feel half human again …feels as though parts of my heart and brain have been in the deep freeze for the past ten months.
I’m so grateful for the DOC. We’re all going through the same things over and over and over and over but I never get tired of reading about it.
