I got an email from UPS late Friday night that my new Medtronic pump was coming. I have been against the Medtronic pump for a while because it was by Medtronic, but Animas has been completely ruined by Johnson & Johnson. My pump warranty runs out in January, I had an appointment at the beginning of the month, and that was the last time I would see my doctor before then.
He said I could have Omnipod or Medtronic, and could talk to two people only, and both ended up coming to my classroom on the same day. I had to reject the Omnipod because I have a hot tub, ended in up for about an hour Saturday and want back in it bad now.
I’ve been stressing out quite a bit because I received 3 months of supplies right after the doctor’s appointment from Animas that I haven’t even opened the box on. Plus another box is sitting at the house unopened … not sure how I got 3 months ahead, but then I’ve been pumping 8 years. Animas says they will send me a shipping label so I can send the supplies back.
I think that the Inset insertion sets may be compatible with the new Revel, but will find out for sure tomorrow. My thought right now, is just to ship back everything to Animas I can’t use and let them decide what to give me credit for.
I am still stressing out as to when the pump will actually arrive; I really don’t want to sit around until 7:00 pm tomorrow evening here at school waiting for it.
