We got situated in the room and got an internet fix. Then we decided to do some New Orleans stuff.
We walked over to the Riverfront “Mall” – It is a mall, but I don’t know if they call it that. Probably says on the pictures.
Oh, the pictures are here

They had a Café De Monde so I made Rich eat beignets and drink coffee. He liked the coffee, I didn’t even with chocolate. It was okay, but I’ve never liked the coffee there and don’t drink coffee most of the time anyway.
We got on the street car, rode it to the end of the line and then got off at Harrah’s.
We played nickel poker slots. I like nickel poker slots. Rich won over $20 and I lost $3.00 of his so he was happy.
We walked back to Embassy Suites and had their Manager’s Hospitality hour with a po-boy and fries (Rich had pizza).
Now we are upstairs chilling, I’m waiting to check my blood sugar and see where I am. 317 – yuck and needed 7 more units. However, before the hotel hurricane and dinner and after beignets, I was at 137. I have 113 units in the pump and a little over 100 in a cartridge. I still don’t trust the partial bottle so put it in cartridges – that way I have an estimate on the amount.
Plan: I have called Walgreen’s. They don’t have my insulin in stock but think they can get it tomorrow. Doctor’s office was to phone in script and they were to fax it.
We’re going to eat Embassy’s breakfast by 9:30, call Walgreens and then take the street car up Canal Street to get the insulin if it is in. If not, we’ll punt, I have enough for most of the day tomorrow.
I am not sure how I am going to get the insulin home, but should be exempt from TSA restrictions and I am already a problem child. I should have 5 vials and I don’t think they will work in the plastic bag. I also don’t want it out of the boxes.
