Here Comes Another Bump!


Life would be dull if there were no bumps in the road. Open mouth insert foot is what I always say. When you get out of bed, you are asking for it. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I mean, after all, it is just another day!

Some bumps may be bigger than others, so what? The bumps are what you make them. No use making a mountain out of a mole hill, right? First bump, get Bud to check his blood sugar levels, take his insulin, while I fix breakfast. Click Here!
Even though I have to tell him each morning to do his part and he never has it done when breakfast is ready, there is no use making a mountain out of a minor bump. So what if his breakfast gets cold?

Today is the day he fills his medicine organizer for the week. wwwblogwithlucy.blogspot.comI have explained over and over to him that he give me the bottles that are getting low on pills so I can order refills. He never does it! He waits til the bottles are empty. It takes 10 to 14 days to get refills. so what if he runs out? He can claim he doesn't remember all he wants. How can he not remember? I tell him every week. This bump is getting bigger!

Bump number 3 has become a mountain! Everyday I have to tell him to take his noon pills and do his insulin so he can eat lunch! How can he forget? He does it everyday! I am not telling him today. I just won't fix lunch. We'll see how long before he remembers! Wait, no sense making a mountain out of a mole hill, so I tell him and I fix him some lunch. I don't want his blood sugar levels to get all messed up! Click Here!

All day long it is one bump after another. He plays the television on very LOUD He goes in and out all day and leaves the t.v. on. He takes a nap and it is so quiet! I love the quiet. Even if the road is bumpy I love him. We take care of each other and the road is smooth once more. We coast to dinner and bedtime. We make it through another round of checking blood sugar levels and insulin shots, dinner and loud t.v. shows. Another day in the life of a diabetic who has become a senior citizen. Click Here!

He goes to bed and all is quiet. Now it is my time. We made it over all the bumps today! Have a good night.
