I have to return the pump via DHL, and I always have them pick up the pump at the door, just in case…
I want a complete record from West Chester, PA, to my door and back to West Chester, PA, just in case. I don’t want to have to pay for a pump!
And it’s gone — I was actually headed up the stairs to do something else when I spotted DHL colors in the drive — walked it out to the guy and that’s one issue I don’t have to think about any more.
He was in the neighborhood and redelivered my pump! I am SO Happy. It pays to live on the corner of a busy street. I’m sure he did it because it wasn’t out of his way.
I’m uploading the data unto the new pump as I type.
And conformation class went well. I checked my blood sugar before class — it was 191, did NOT correct and after class was 107. That’s something to remember!
This will probably work out better but darn my husband! I told him last night that I was expecting a package but had puppy class so he’d have to listen for it.
Well he apparently didn’t hear the doorbell OR the dogs
I have told UPS to hold it and I’ll pick it Monday.
I’m downloading all my data for the new pump. Sadly, I’m really good at this now. Unfortunately I’ll lose some of today’s data, but that can’t be helped, and probably not an issue in the grand scheme of things.
I’m anxious — puppy and I have a class in less than an hour and the pump will probably be delivered while we’re out. UPS is “good” about delivering even if I’m not home, but I’m betting the regular guy isn’t driving the truck today. If they don’t deliver, hunting it down won’t be bad, I’ve had to do that before and it’s not like the pump is insulin or anything that needs to go to the refrig immediately. Even if I don’t get it until Monday after summer school that isn’t a bad thing.
I do suspet there is more going on though. I swear that I pup in insulin two different times, once on Friday and once on Thursday but it didn’t get delivered to me. Would rather have too little insulin though, than too much.
I also need to remember to watch blood sugar during class. I was on the way to a crash at the end of class last week.
I’m going to actually try it out in a few minutes.
I am the proud owner (leasee) of a Respironics Remstar Auto M Series. The DME brought it by at 1:00 pm and showed me how to use it. It even works with my emergency backup battery which is a super good thing. It is definately half the size of the loaner machine.
I’m looking forward to lugging it around the airports next week.

Patterns: Sleep Proves More Elusive Than Many Believe
First, I’m getting my new small Responics “M” series machine on Friday. Just a week before I fly to Pittsburg. That will give me a night or two to get adjusted to it at home.
I’ve got only 7 more days of Summer school — one day of that is finals — so we’re getting close and closer to the end.
Friday, day after summer school, I’m heading to Pittsburg. I have a no-stop flight from Dallas. I’ve got information today from Carnegie Melon and they suggest catching a bus that stops at a stop just in front of the building where I am supposed to get my room and key assignment. I’m hoping to put all clothing for the trip and all items for the trip in one bag AND pack the CPAP machine in that bag. That might be wishful thinking. I’ll have another big bag that will have all my immediate emergency stuff with me. Of course it’s a big bag!
The workshop is from Friday to Monday, ends aobut noon on Monday and my aunt is supposed to pick me up, and I’ll spend a quick 24 hours with her. We’ll probably spend most of the time talking dogs and dog agility since we have that in common.
Yes, I’m anxious!
My plan is to wear a lot of tshirt dresses since they travel well.

I knew that Walmart was selling them cheap, and wondered what happened. Looks like they are being re released in a different form factor.
A1CNow �, device, designed for at-home monitoring of HbA1c–a glycosylated hemoglobin–was acquired by Bayer when it bought Metrika Inc., a company based in Sunnyvale, CA.
I need to start tracking this — I’m not sure if it is a Sunday night thing, but suspect it is, but man, I had a hard time going to sleep last night and I kept waking up. I know I looked at the clock at about 2:15, and about 5:10.
I was hoping the Requip would help, and it might, but I think I really wanted the Sonata last night.
I forgot to mention — my weight was 1 pound higher than it was last month, and I really expected to have about a 5 pound weight gain, so I feel really good about that.
I tried the Requip last night and today I have much less leg pain than i’ve had. I’m always suffering from some type of repetive type stress injury and it always seems worse in the morning so I have been wondering if restless leg was a contributer.
I am going to have to be careful dog training, this morning I did something very smart — I needed to do an after breakfast correction but also knew I was going to be doing conformation with the pup for an hour long class, so I did only half the correction reasoning that I could fix it the rest of the way after the class.
That was a smart move because towards the end of class, I was down to under 115. I doubt I would have made it through the class if I had done the full suggestion correction.
And my blood sugar is stablizing, and I”m seeing a lot of good numbers again lately.
If I can just get one more hour of sleep a day, I think I’ll be fine. It’s mostly getting to bed early enough.
