Bad Sunburn

I was able to get my insulin. It took me almost all day to do it, but I did it. Only one of my insulins was in at the pharmacy, but it'll be there tomorrow. At least I have one.

The nurse at the hospital remarked about my sunburn. 'You really should use sunscreen'. Really? No! I'm of Irish ancestry....I burn easily. If they made a spf 300 I'd be first in line.

My blood sugar wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, for not having any insulin since yesterday. It was 273...no ketoacidosis....thank God.

I'm going to get something to eat and might take a nap.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Hi Heather,Also of Irish ancestry, I go from fish-belly white to scarlet burned in a flash!Oh, I can relate to the going to an activity that ends up being further and harder to get to and my body getting out of control and me just wanting to get home.It was absolutely ridiculous for the organizers to keep you from the tram. I am so sick of ads and ais for 'seniors' only. I'm so glad you finally got on a trim.......Yeah, well sometimes I need the scooter in Walmart!! And I get all the looks........have learned not to care, I have to take care of my body or it will take me out!Aren't the blue angels great! Saw them as a kid and again as a young adult.Very cool! Not quite sure it was worth all your pain though.Glessings and gentle hugs, my sunburned friend,Judy
