Gratitude Post

[trystinn]

After speaking with Rainbear, it turns out I was doing something a bit possibly dangerous with my insulin out of confusion and good intentions gone awry. At his directions, I went in this morning and spoke with the Diabetes Educator and she agreed, so I've been given a new testing regiment and new dosing levels which have effectively doubled by dosage.

Too often, I think, when our friends tell us when we're doing something wrong and instead of listening with love and hearing the good intentions, we listen with shattered egos and anger. He didn't approve of what I was doing because he knew better and he wanted better for me. So he told me I was using poor judgment. And he was right. And that's what good friends do - they save you from yourself.

For his care and his knowledge, his ready willingness to correct my ignorant ass: a very public thank you, love and kisses, to Rainbear. *smooch*

And YAY for getting over yourself ... the hardest lesson on the way to wisdom. We all still struggle with it from time to time or issue to issue, so I'm not pointing any fingers at you that don't have three fingers pointing back at me. {{{}}} CONGRATS on right dosage!!

For me the biggest issue was just the hesitancy of bringing it up in the first dang place. Once I did, I certainly knew Rainbear's greater wisdom wasn't to be argued with.

I did btw finally come up with a ritual that worked for me. My Diabetes Coordinator keeps switching my routine around (she's an awesome nurse, I think you'd approve), but with a good ritual in place now, its easily adapted. So thank you for that suggestion, made months and months ago!
