Living with Diabetes and Lapband

I'm not big on looking back. But this has been a good year for me in a lot of respects.

Before this year, I was able to follow my doctor's directions and keep my blood sugar normal for normal days. However, I wasn't good at adjusting for abnormal days. While I don't feel I've mastered it, I do have confidence to try different things, and have the knowledge to be able to adjust. That's something I've just gotten good at the last few months.

While I haven't lost any weight recently, I haven't gained a massive amount over the holidays which is a good thing.

I'm really looking forward to getting through this school and deciding what I want to do next year. If I want to stay at my school (I've been here 14 years), I will probably have to teach Algebra and focus on non-English speaking kiddos.

I would like to teach a group of students who have 100% access to the internet. I've put the word out on that, and we'll have to see what happens.

I definately want to stay with my district IF I keep teaching, I'll be getting a longevity stipend starting next year.

With the master's and the experience, I could go into a different area. However, one thing I've found this year, is that I like teaching better than I like teaching with computers. I just wish I could do both.
