Doctor stopped in – discharge orders are in. I have to meet with the diabetic clinic nurse first and then I can go. He wrote up a prescription for all the insulin and stuff so I can fill that and do a bit of shopping before I head home.  🙂

This is my new life now, not a barrier but a challenge. Recognizing my new relationship with food and that my body is a temple (a little bit of a messy one!) but one that needs love and attention and it will shelter me.

I don’t work again until Saturday. left a message at the clinic to cancel Wednesday, just waiting for nurse. Hoping it’s soon but worried about lunch vs discharge vs insulin… It’ll be interesting to see how I do at home… all my roommates here on the window side of the room want the partition curtains closed- it’s like being stuck on the isle seat of a plane.

Home. Did lunch and supper on my own. BG 9.0mmol at 9pm, then snack and gonna check it at 11pm. I want to sleep in but worried I need to get up and get next dose. The thing that bothered me once I got home was waiting for food- I was watching the clock, waiting for the next meal. I used to graze and now I have to pay attention and eat at a more regular schedule. Tired but my brain feels clearer. We’ll see how I am after a good night’s sleep in my own bed. Don’t want to fall back into old habits- going to try really hard- this is a big deal, a lifestyle change, a life change.
