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.
