« Arden and OmniPod in the News | Main | I am getting better at not crying »

Fra Mauro highlands

Arden experienced a pod error the other day and we had to change her OmniPod two days early.  Usually that is a bummer because you have to remove the old pod, prep the site and the new pod and deal with what they call “a pod change high”, which is a sorta unexplainable high BG trend that happens for a few hours after a pod switch.

 

Butt today none of that bothers me and no I didn’t spell ‘but’ incorrectly...

 

Today, out of thin air Arden announces that she is ready to put the pod on her buttocks. {This space reserved for you to feel my elation} It may not seem like a big deal butt... it is.  With this leap of faith Arden she now has eight pod sites!!!!

 

Many people warned me that Arden was to thin for an OmniPod but I didn’t listen (finally my not listening pays off) and now just 13 months later we are up to eight sites, we only started with two.  I’d dance if I was any good at dancing.  You know what? You can’t see me, I’m gonna dance....

 

I’m back and yes I really did dance and no it wasn’t pretty but it felt great!  

 

One small step for Arden...
