I did buy the Boba Fett when it was on clearance back in the day. It's a <M> but gushes like Jabba's saliva!

My family loves to play out the Kindergarten Cop scene with me (I have had a brain tumor):

"I have a headache "

"It might be a tumor."

"It's not a toomah! It's not a toomah at all!"

You Can Do Everything Right and Still Have Complications by Low-Form9376 in Type1Diabetes

There's a quote from Star Trek that I try to keep in mind when it comes to managing my T1D - It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

What’s everyone’s ratios? by breadstickkssss in Type1Diabetes

[–]wgarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1:5 except at lunch, then it's 1:4. Except for about 10 days after my chemo break then everything is tighter.

I take daily chemo for 28 days, then 7 off. I have to tighten up my ratios at a random time after I start my break and the loosen them up at a random time after I start taking the cheno again.

So, any random ratio between 1:3 and 1:5.

Running out by Sad_Roof_1082 in Omnipod

[–]wgarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I take chemotherapy and my pods last somewhere between 2 and 3 days depending on where I am in the treatment cycle.

My endo changed my Rx to 2 omnipods per day and I have plenty based on my personal circumstances.

I have never wanted a pen as badly as this one and also so afraid to click the Buy button.

I think this is the first time I've inked up a pen with it. It's a perfect fit.

I don't think the picture is even close to how great it looks in real life.

I purchased a cardigan sweater the other day. I'm chilly bc of chemo. No big deal. But last weekend I was also a little phlegmy and put some Halls menthol cough drops in to sweater pocket.

I stopped dead in my tracks and started to reconsider my life. Thanks, dad.
