I’ve gone a couple of months without pulling a set off, but managed to do it yesterday morning.<\/p>\n
I had been pretty pleased with myself, though I do faithfully carry extras and I have been worried about having to float. <\/p>\n
The biggest danger time for pulling a set off, for me, if the first few hours after a set change. I alternate sides plus I was wearing slacks instead of a dress.<\/p>\n
Just as I yanked, I could feel the tubing in my hand, but it was too late.<\/p>\n
Lots of reasons I HATE doing that. First it hurts. Second, sets aren’t cheap. $10-15 a piece, and the insets run the high end. Third, everytime you put a set in, you run into the danger of having it inserted wrong. The good news, is that I can’t remember the last time I had an Inset set fail, the last time was months ago, and I had pulled the set towards the end of the set life, and pulled the cannella out without pulling off the adhesive.<\/p>\n
I was able to change the set in my classroom without anyone noticing, but mostly because I was wearing a two-piece outfit, and could get to the set without disrobing.<\/p>\n
My plan is to be able to buy all new clothes at the beginning of the school year (having lost weight), and high on that plan is to make sure everything I buy is seperates. I’m going to miss my walk in closet.<\/p>\n
You see, I absolutely refuse to change a set, test my blood sugar or inject in a room that has a toilet in it. Especially a public restaurant. Have you see the studies where they show how the entire room has a high bacteria count and that they find particles of feces and urine in the air and stalls. There isn’t enough alcohol in the world to prevent a infection in that situation. It gives me the willies thinking about it. And those were “clean” restrooms.
\nWe’re lucky if they get serviced once a day and that’s usually just to remove the trash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
