Insulin delivery stopped at some point last night or early this morning. On a whim, I check my BG at 3:00am. It was over 200, but not the 250 everyone warns about. (My meals were a little odd in content and timing, so I wasn't terribly worried.) I took a correction dose and tested 3 hours later just before 6:00am. It was 251: another correction dose. (I really didn't want to change infusion sets.) Checked BG at 8:00am...still above 250. I knew something wasn't right. I took an injection of Novolog and changed infusion sets. Two hours later: 108. Back to normal.

I was afraid that being that high would screw with my BG all day, but so far I think we're back to normal. I hope it stays that way.

I guess everyone has to have those situations and be able to deal with them. Maybe I had hoped my would come after one and a half weeks of pumping.

Tonight, I'm going to a community college performance of a play about Edgar Allan Poe: Poe's Midnight Dreary. It's not actually a Poe play, but a play about him that includes some excerpts of his plays. I'm not 100% familiar with his work, so I hope I can follow along.

Sunday is the long day; I hope I survive. Up at 6:15am to be at church at 7:40 or so. Worship service at 8:45, then another one at 11:00. Church council meeting right after that until 4:00ish. From there I'll head to Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church for my ordination service that will begin at 6:30pm. After the service there'll be a reception, which will be very nice. Assuming I leave at about 8:30, I should be home by 10:00pm. It appears that the slowest part of that day will be the drive to and from Atlanta.

Well...I'm going to the bank and the drug store.

Have an enjoyable weekend!

It's been a few days since my last post...

Things have been going well with the pump. I've been pretty successful with the infusion set/site changes. I'm sure I'll get better at them as time progresses. I'm experimenting with the dual-wave and square wave boluses.

I had my ordination council Monday night. That was a very affirming time. I was asked some tough, but thought-provoking questions. It tooke about 90 minutes, but it was relatively painless. The service is coming together very nicely. I'm looking forward to it.

This week is the public school's mid-Winter week-long break. Attendace was way down on Sunday morning and will likely be way down tonight and this coming Sunday. The adult handbell choir will be playing in the traditional service this week. We rehearsed yesterday and think we'll be ready to play, but one week extra to rehearse certainly couldn't hurt us.
