frustrated. Again!

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

This is a bit of a story but I'll try to keep it short. You sure don't realize

how much help you get from your sighted mate until

he isn't home. Last week got medivacked from Kitimat to Vancouver St.

paul's hospital. He broke his hip and they put a rod in

his leg. Well actually two. One going straight down through the leg and one

sideways. It wasn't actually his hip that was broken

but the feemer bone just below the hip joint. I just know I didn't spell feemer

right, but you know what I mean. Anyways when they

were taking test they discovered he has bone cancer and it has spread. I am

devostated I have just been crying my eyes out a lot.

Anyways the reason I am frustrated is because when I take my blood sugar, I am

having a heck of a time getting the drop of blood on

the right place on the strip, and I get not enough blood readings. Urg that

gets to me. If I wasted two strips, I used to

sometimes get to help me put the drop of blood on the right place. I end

up smeering it sometimes. Now that I have a limitted

amount of strips until I get the acue check, I am loath to waste them. I have

four bottles of twenty-five left and can't order more

anymore. any suggestions? It is a matter of getting the drop of blood and then

putting it right on that stupid spot. I finally

got it after wasting three strips this morning. it was eight point two which is

pretty good for me in the morning. Any ideas would

be appreciated. Any of you who are inclined, please please pray for . Oh

God I don't want to lose him. he is going to the

cancer clinic on Wednesday, Christmas Eve.

Love and hugs, and the furry ones.
