Kind of knowing but not really knowing what to expect I began to open the box ... A wave of emotions hit me so I took pictures to share with everyone to distract me and decided to deal with the emotions later in the evening ...
The sensors in their package: The pod that sticks to my body is in the middle and the needle on the top is what I will use to load 3 days worth of insulin into the pod before I stick it to my body.
The monitor that "talks" to my sensors: From this device I will be able to WIRELESSLY transmit how much insulin I would like the pod to give me with the simple click of a button.
All the places I can put the sensor on my body:
And now comes all the emotions of seeing this "contraption" for the first time and the reality that this is really happening. More to come on that in the next day or two ... in the mean time I wait until tomorrow at 1:30 in the afternoon to meet with my doctor and get trained on how to use the Omni Pod. For now all the pieces wait in a box in my living room.
Just want to tell you how proud I am of you! I know it's a hard adjustment but I'm sure you will grow to love it in time and is a great step forward :) Love you so much. Xo
