Missed Doctor's Visit

Just a quick note to let you know that I didn't see the doctor yesterday.

I decided, as I always do before a trip, to fill up my insulin pump before we took off.

And the pump, for the very first time, after many years of service, malfunctioned. 

I got to a certain place in the programming for insertion of new insulin, when the pump told me to revert back and rewind. 

I tried many times to no avail. 

Since I couldn't go to Bakersfield to see the doctor without insulin and since injecting it the old fashioned way would be a challenge if I hit the road right after, not being sure if I took the right amount and so on. 

So I cancelled my appointment and will call the doctor today.

I will let you know what happens and I thank you for your concern about the well being of  my heart. 

No one in my family had any heart issues and I've always had, as a cardiologist once told me, "A great heart!"  

So I will let you know, thanks for your concern, you are good friends, for sure.

  2. The insulin issue is certainly an obstacle! I hope you get it resolved quickly. And the heart issues, too.

  3. that would have frustrated me so bad... when I get upset about things like that, my dementia visits and I can't remember how to do simple things like put the lid down on the coffee pot and be awaked when it goes off howling like a wolf. I hope you can get an online visit, no need to drive there, you can sit face to face on your chrome book

  5. Oh my gosh! It couldn't happen at a worse time. But maybe there was a reason that we don't know. Maybe you could have gotten in a wreck or something...
