So, this weekend I lost my entire diabetes kit. Yup. Somewhere between Sox Park and my friend's car my kit was lost. I don't know if someone stole it (good luck to whoever tries to pawn a freaking OmniPod - it's of literally no use to anyone but me) or if it just got dropped and swept away. But I do know that it's lost.
This created a lot of diabetes drama. Plus I had to order a replacement. A $400 replacement. Arrrrrrgh!
Finally today I spoke to my diabetes doctor's nurse and got some help. She - in a very no-nonsense manner - insisted that I call the OmniPod representative for the Chicago area. I left that lady, Lois, a message and quickly got a call back. Lois delivered a brand new Personal Diabetes Manager free to me within three hours! She actually send her daughter, who was coming to the city anyway. This delightful young lady drove up, tossed a box of OmniPod materials my way and headed on her merry way.
Un-freaking-believable! Amazing!
B will even tell you that I was teary-eyed that someone would be so nice as to send their daughter to my apartment to deliver a new kit for me. It truly made my night and at least my week.
After that I took a nice 3-mile run and then ate really, really yummy tacos that B cooked.
I'll try to post every day until my big race, just to keep my brain - and not just my legs - working.
