Was on my feet more than I should have been, but the Physical Therapist fixed it for the time being.
I can’t get over how good a session makes me feel.
I am going to try to train my dogs tomorrow night. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.
Almost forgot — got lab results — some values are NOT good but will know more on Monday. A1C was 6.6. Not my best, but not one of my worst since the pump (worst is 7.0 on the pump, my first few months).

Whatever was wrong with me Sunday night and all day Monday is over now. Thankfully.
Knee isn’t bad. It’s much better than it was last week before the weird injury. I see the PT again tomorrow. I’ve done most of his exercises.
Bad news — the furnace stopped working and we have to replace a board we replaced a few years ago. ARGH! On Thursday, as I have a meeting after school on Wednesday AND PT.
And watch this space for interesting news. It’s going to be kinda of like that one year on the TV series Dallas, if it happens. And who knows when.
More good news. My blood sugar is doing better in the evenings, but still high during the day. Maybe it’s the 35 students in 1st period and the 30+ in second period who tagged my walls.

Sarah asked in the comments, if Depo is good for Type 1 diabetics…
My answer:
Every year, my CDE and my gynocologist and I go around and around on this one, and we usually go with the “isn’t broke don’t fix it”. Every patient has to make up their own mind with their doctor’s guidance.
My problems are painful periods along with never wanting to have children. The other problem, of course, is diabetes. Most people who menastrate see changes in blood sugar. I see a slight, temporary raising of blood sugar, but very slight with each shot.
My CDE thinks that the depo probably adds to insulin resistance and weight gain. My answer is, when I get under 175 pounds and I can’t lose any more weight, I’ll consider dropping it for that reason.
Also, I’m getting close to menopause (I just turned 46) and they claim I won’t have any sympthoms while on depo.

I made it through the day. I ran out of knee about the end of 6th period. And I’m exhausted from being up all night.
I’ve got PT at 6:40 — I might add to this post when I get home, and I might just go to bed.
I’m back from PT. Grueling — here’s weird for you. My blood sugar was 78 with no signs of low blood sugar about 1 1/2 hours after eating. Not a good idea to do PT in that state, so I picked up a small chocolate shake at Sonic and didn’t bolus for it.
I was at 103 after the PT session, so I grabbed a MC Filet of Fish, bolused for it, and hopefully will be okay.
Nice to eat a couple of treats guilt free since I haven’t eaten anything but dinner and half a bag of Animal Crackers all day.
I don’t know if it is food poisoning, the Symlin, or what…but I went to a party last night, had lots of protein, very little carbs and started feeling sick right after dinner (this is why I think it might be Symlin since I started feeling queasy after dinner.
I ended up with a very nasty bout of diarrah and I haven’t eaten anything all day so far, and don’t plan to. Since I was out sick on Friday, I didn’t want to be out again today. And sure enough the substitute completely screwed everything up.
He put white out on my pink sheets which means they will probably have to be redone. He didn’t write down any of my new student’s names, and he didn’t give any work to my Algebra I students. Instead he gave their work to my English for Math students, meaning I don’t have enough copies to get my Algebra I students this afternoon. Though hopefully I’ll collect the rest of the packets from the English for Math kids. However, about half of one class already lost their packets.
I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and I have been in the restroom every class period for at least 10 minutes but we’re getting through the day.
The knee is only a minor annoyance.
My knee is still pretty good today. I’m having odd pains when I’m at rest, either in bed or in a chair, but walking is okay. Stairs, even one stair is a bit hard, but I still can’t believe how much good one PT session did. I’ve been better since I saw the PT than I was all last month.
I am able to do some walking on the treadmill. I’m doing 5 1/2 minutes today, SLOW, 2.0 mph, after meals, though this evening will be tough as I am going to a party, and so will the school day. I’ll have to see how things go after Monday’s PT session.
My blood sugar is much better than it’s been. It had one of those days yesterday when I was just hungry all day, but today, I’m sick to my stomach and don’t feel much like eating (probably Symlin). I wish I would have less days like Saturday.
I’m off to visit a good agility friend who fell yesterday and had surgery this morning to repair a broken hip. Then I’m heading to the party.
It is SO much better! I was afraid to get out of bed, as I was having some pain, but not a lot. It didn’t hurt to put weight on it!
I did some of the physical therapy exercises and I did two sets of 2 1/2 minutes at 2.0 mph on the treadmill after breakfast. Not a lot, but seeing as how I couldn’t walk without crutches when I got up yesterday, it’s huge improvement. I’m going to try to do 5 minutes after every meal for a while, then slowly up the distance.
