This has been a busy week! Trying to get ready to go to Oklahoma on Friday and Colorado next Tuesday. The hardest part is making sure Gary has enough medications, enough insulin, and enough oxygen. Oh and then there is all the hunting STUFF. Man, I don't know how two old coots (Gary and I) can have so much hunting STUFF! LOL!

He got a new insulin pump which he definitely needed - his current one has a big crack in it and I just knew it was going to die any moment. Without the pump Gary would have to take a shot every time he eats, and he does NOT like that drill. We go for pump training tomorrow - I hope it is simple to use. I'm going to take both pumps to CO - that is always a worry when you travel, that your insulin pump will fail. We always take stuff to give insulin by shots, but we always hope we don't have to do that while on vacation. We never have so far (knock on wood). If we can learn how to use the new pump tomorrow, we should be fine since we can take the old one as a backup, just in case the new one fails.

We are going to look like the Beverly Hillbillies with all the STUFF we are taking with us!
