2007 Year In Review – November

I ended up giving up on my online search for love. Hoping I would have more luck in “real”life rather than “cyber”life. Happily my friends had discovered the fun of dinner/game parties. Stuffing ourselves until our bellies ached then mentally suffered through rounds of Trivial Pursuit. So much fun, it took up a large part of my free time.
Some how I ended up feeling fairly bored and stuck with my life. Not sure why, but I thought about what I could change in my life and not really do much long term damage…. so I cut my hair! Not a huge life change, but enough to spice it up for a while.
Here’s the new cut, shorter and darker.
Bad health news this month. Looks like my diabetes is doing a number on my kidneys. The doctor thinks the damage will reverse it’s self once I get my sugar levels under control, but that is not what have read on the web. Yet my doc still did not want to get me an insulin pump. So frustrating. Why does everything seem so complicated? Seems like my friends are having a hard time understanding all of my health issues and don’t understand why I am so tired all the time. Sometimes I have had to cancel plans at the last minute because I realize I have absolutely no energy left to leave the house. I hope I don’t lose my friends because of my health. It really isn’t ME that is the problem, it is my poor weak body.

I will have an out of pocket expense of $6,700 this year to purchase an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, that is after insurance covers their portion. I really need help with these expenses.
My goal is to raise $6,700, currently I am at $2,285.
