His hands move over my waist to my hips. He brushes by my insulin pump, which feels to me about fifty times its actual size. I wonder, does he notice it there beneath my clothes, beneath his hand?
My bloodsugar is 355 mg/dl. I feel yucky. I know I'm spilling ketones. When he kisses me, do I taste like fruit, like wine, like the acetone that's eating away at me? Does he see the awful dry feeling behind my eyes; is he thinking I look as horrible as I feel?

With Susanne only having a few days at home before she must return to her armwrestling team in Reno, Nevada, to train for the Women's U.S. Open, I thought I'd invite her to be a guest blogger. Take it away, Muscles.
I think I was very accepting and calm when the doctor confirmed Charlie's diagnosis. It's strange because I don't think I really understood the long haul and challenges that were ahead.
