I feel a shift taking place in the world today.  Its happening as we speak, and I feel it happening within me, on this site and others, before the world.  Slowly, more and more people are realizing the power of their minds.  The power to be at peace with life and whatever happens in it, the power of the ability to watch our thoughts and to not be affected by them completely.  I watched another documentary recently called, “The New Medicine”.  It touches on this very point.  More and more, people who fall ill to various things are finding the healing benefits of their own thoughts and states of consciousness while enduring the sicknesses their experiencing.

I am not a religious person. I was raised a Quaker, which has directly influenced how I feel about religion. I understand people have faith, I respect it, I just don't.

 

But when I read about the family in WI who allowed their daughter to die due to untreated type 1 diabetes, preferring to pray for God to heal her instead, I was absolutely livid. How could you allow your child to stop talking and walking and just think that's ok? Just think that God will make it all better?

I spent Saturday at the Providence Convention Center.  Getting tattooed.  The product of my inking can be seen in the photo attached to this post.  The picture, I can assure you, doesn't do it justice.  It's really beautiful.  And it means a lot to me.  The script says "I don't need sleep to dream" and I think the winged goddess looks like something out of a daydream - and like a daydreamer herself.

One thing that has always bothered me about diabetes is how our bodies react to different things. Our ability to physically heal is always slow. We also seem to be more prone to catching diseases and other ailments than most other people. Anytime we have a cut, sprain, break, or tear it seems like an eternity before our bodies fully recover. Anytime its flu season we hear about the need for people with diabetes to get their shot. Whenever dental hygiene is discussed we are reminded that it is even more important for us to take special care of our teeth and gums. Even things like staying too long in a hot tub, steam room, or sauna. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH ALL THIS? (READ MORE)

The past week has been intense, to say the least. I had three midterms, two of which I didn't feel prepared for up until about 5 minutes before the exam. And one of those was canceled so now I'm looking at three this week despite doing all the work for three last week. On top of that, I have homework assignments and meetings and bills due.

 

But the topper is that my leg infection from last week is no where near better. It actually got much worse Wednesday through Thursday. It finally started healing a little on Friday, but turned into an incredibly painful sore over the weekend. So now, I'm heading to the doctor bright and early in the morning hoping that isn't as serious as it feels.

 

Between the busy schedule and the infection, my blood sugars have been way too high. I even raised my Lantus today to combat the elevated glucose. Unfortunately, the crash that I was expecting didn't come in the form of blood sugars.

"I know diabetes shouldn't be a connection, but it is," M. said as I was telling her about my lunch with S. today.

 

"But it really is," I said. I knew what she meant. That we should all have better things to be connected by than health issues. But it is what it is.

 

"You know, whenever I meet someone who rides horses we have that instant connection, even if there's nothing else there's that," she said.

 

"Yes, exactly," I said, nodding.

 

I was standing at the entrance to her cube, where I often stand to chit chat with her, discussing how I met S. and how our lunch went.

 

"We talked a little about diabetes, but... well, it certainly wasn't the focus of our conversation," I said.

I thought it was a miracle. The day after Danny was born, my diabetes suddenly disappeared. I no longer had to test a dozen times a day. And the few times I did test, my blood sugar was perfect. Not low, not high, but normal. In that magic 70 to 120 non-diabetic range. My meter looked like those in the commercials. It was wonderful, but it didn't last long.
For the first few weeks at home with the boy, I was able to ignore my diabetes. Granted I didn't eat with abandon or anything, but it sure was nice not to worry about it. Not to have it be the first thought in the morning or the last thought before bed. To go a whole day-a whole week even-without once testing my blood sugar, estimating a carb count or taking insulin. Diabetes was but a fleeting thought.
Granted I had plenty of other things to think about. Getting to know my son. Healing from a C-section. Figuring out how to breastfeed. Managing on little or no sleep. Nature had to give me a break somewhere. (READ MORE)

Blog post title courtesy of my dad, circa 1987.

 

It has been a busy couple of months for me.  So much happening.  

 

In diabetes news:

I did get my new Deltec Cozmo, without having to pay an arm and a leg in early December.  

 

I actually got the cool software that uploads and downloads information from pump to computer to work on my PC, therefore saving myself HOURS of set-up time.

 

I survived the holidays with an average bloodsugar on my meter of 133 mg/dl and no severe lows or astronomical highs.  I ate too much and didn't go to the gym, but still only gained 1/2 pound.  How did that happen?

Wow.  What an unbelievable adventure life is.  I don't even know where to begin today.  I guess one thing that I wanted to share is that I recently moved.  Last weekend I was in a bad way.  It's no secret - just look at my past entries - that I have struggled with bouts of hard times.

 

So Saturday, after a few longs nights and hours of heavy contemplation, I packed up my stuff and left.  I needed to get out of my home town - away from some feelings that I've been struggling to overcome.  I had made a call that day to a guy whose number and add I found on Craigslist.  The add said that their was a room for rent near the beach in Florida.  I was sold.  I arrived on Sunday night after a total of about 18 hours of driving.

I’m sorry.

I know the first “no no” in blogging is to not post about why you have not posted in a while but still this must be addressed.

Life has been a major downer for me lately. My blood sugars have been through the roof, I have put on almost all the weight I lost while on Weight Watchers, and I moved.

First I will tell you that we had to move, we did not choose to. We were owners and are now renting a home. I am sure you can read between those lines. Being 35 with 2 kids and starting over is not only difficult but extremely depressing. The feeling of being a failure had been engulfing me for months. It has made it hard to write and share that with you all not only because of embarrassment but because I did not want to be a downer.
