Thursday - 10 Things I hate about you, Diabetes.
10. I am a tree-hugger and you are killing our planet one test strip, used syringe, and half-empty bottle of expired insulin at a time.
9. You make me check my (non-D) baby's BG.
8. You stole my daughter's childhood. Yes, you did. She will never know what it's like to be 100% carefree.
7. You cost me some friendships. I guess I should be thankful to know who my "true friends" are. But you have made me very lonely.
6. I used to be smart-ish. You have killed off too many of my brain cells.
5. Sometimes when I think of the money we have spent on you, diabetes, I wonder how many trips to Hawaii that would be.
4. You make me cry way too much.
3. I sometimes say no to stuff because of you. Because it's just too overwhelming. Because I am too tired.
2. You constantly make me feel not good enough.
1. You are robbing my daughter of her life. This is just not cool. And this is why I am going to kick your ass.
I can relate to every one on your post. Thanks for posting and making me not feel so alone in my thoughts and feelings in this crappy world of D.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel on pretty much every point. No one gets how ENORMOUS a change diabetes brings into your life.

Love the "Prepare To DIE" bit Jo. Great list. I like that you are environmentally-minded!

There are a shortage of perfect pancreases in the world, it would be a pity to ruin yours!
