I love he pump, no more multiple shots per day, just every 3 days when it's time to change my set, and my insulin cartridge.Hi There John:How do you like your pump? What type do you have? Welcome!
Some, but mostly, I try to learn from others.I bet you have a lot of knowledge to share with us!

Hi john for your advice i keep this in mind. tiaHi I am new here hello to ever one.tia
Both, I'm 6'4, and she's 5'2. Yes, I played football many years ago, but nothing to write home about. I played high school, and some college, until I had my right knee taken out.Hey John....Great photo. Are you Really tall or is your Wife Really short?Were you a football player? Just wondering.
Holy Cod! Ouchie!! Sounds like you've been through the wringer. I bet you thought at one point, "Shoot! I wish I had taken up Dentistry instead of Football".john said:Now I'm bionic, I have two artificial hips (one almost 20 years ago, and one ten years ago), and two artificial knees (recent).

Nope, I never did. Besides, I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger. Instead I ended up in driver sales for 31 years, and I loved every year of it, except the last one, when my company went from being a family, to the employees are just a number. That's when I retired.Holy Cod! Ouchie!! Sounds like you've been through the wringer. I bet you thought at one point, "Shoot! I wish I had taken up Dentistry instead of Football".
New joints are a piece of cake, I waited to long for my first hip, and when I found out how east they were, I was at the hospital at 4:00am for a 7:00am appointment, telling them to just put me to sleep, and wake me up when it's done for my second one. The same went for my knees, I had them done 6 month apart. The knees don't heal quite as fast as the knees though.Well, my Cousin is also Bionic and quite Happy to have his joint replacements needed due to severe RA. I hope that you feel Good with your new joints also. Some People I've talked to on the net wish they hadn't had the replacements done. So I'm not looking forward to it in the future, if necessary.
Yes, it's worked out quite well, in December we'll have been married for 24 years. That's a lot longer than my first marriage, that produced 2 boys. They are 39, and 31.ROFL!!Gee, what a surprise. I dated a Guy(National Defense) who was 6'5" and I'm 5' 2 and a proud 1/2". I'm not a Mathematician( like Richard)but I just had a thought that it wouldn't add up.
When he leaned waaaay down to kiss me, I felt like a Kid. Well, actually I was at age 16 but anyways. I didn't get any taller.

I'm Glad that your Relationship works for you. That's sooo Important.
That's a Good long Relationship. Nice to hear it. Congrats! I know if I was not in a Good Relationship, then I would be depressed or want out of it, if it couldn't be made "liveable". Depression normally leads to a Person not caring about their Diabetes or other conditions that they may have. Thus loss of Diabetes control.john said:Yes, it's worked out quite well, in December we'll have been married for 24 years. That's a lot longer than my first marriage, that produced 2 boys.

Yes, her Uncle races Horses. He had a hip done, and went to work with the horses in the mud, and stepped wrong, and got his leg caught in the mud, and pulled it out, you can guess what happened. Her cousin is in the rock business, Large rocks, and he just went back to work to soon, lifting large rocks.You are probably correct on them getting back to business too soon. All surgeries have a recovery range and physical therapy which some People ignore.
Wrong.One of the People I spoke to decided that clearing land of trees and brushes,(with hand tools)for his Sister when her Hubby decides to build a home on the land, was a Good physical therapy.
Ellen's Uncle did have the surgery again, and got a new hip, but because of what he did, it was complete bed rest until it healed. Now he gets around in a motorized wheel chair. Like a Jazzy.Most likely, none of these People will be advised to get the same surgery again to relieve the pain.
Well, it's Good to hear that he was able to get another replacement. I hope that he experiences zero pain due to it afterwards.Ellen's Uncle did have the surgery again, and got a new hip, but because of what he did, it was complete bed rest until it healed.

I don't know about pain, but he can't get around without his chair. And all because he wouldn't let the hip heal.Well, it's Good to hear that he was able to get another replacement. I hope that he experiences zero pain due to it afterwards.
Look her:A Jazzy? That's the newer chair, isn't it?
