Pumplandia: Violet’s Diabetes Blog: In which I am my own guinea pig
Occasionally I have to change sets at “work”.
I work in an urban school, building is about 50 years old, and the restrooms are nasty. Teacher restrooms are slightly better than the girls rooms.
I have been extremely lucky because my room has a closet. When I’ve had to change a set, I duck in, close the door, and half the time my students don’t even know I’ve ducked out. Once, I completely changed clothing and not one kid noticed I was wearing different clothing — okay, that proves high school kids don’t look at their teachers.
They have told me: “it would not be appropriate to make someone with your experience float”. I also did let them know if I had to float we would probably have to look into the ADA (American’s with Disability Act) as I need to carry around medical equipment.
That STILL doesn’t solve the where do I go to change a set as I don’t want to do it in a restroom OR in the nurse’s clinic.
I can however, always leave the old set in place, and put a set in my arm. Haven’t tried it, but may have to.
