Living with Diabetes and Lapband

I wrote about my first day -- and how I had problems with my pump and high blood sugar due to the newest.

The second day went much better, though I didn't sleep very well. Even forgot to check my morning blood sugar, but I was normal after the class. I ended up not showing in Rally because Marcie just didn't have it together.

I've since made a decision. I don't want to spend my weekends getting dressed up, shaving my dog's face, and cutting off her hair along her neck and legs. If she was a super beagle, and it wouldn't take long to finish her, I'd do it. So I have an appointment with the local spay/neuter clinic on Friday.

I'm going to take more time getting Marcie ready for Rally -- maybe next spring.

In the meantime, I'm going to concentrate on my sport. Agility. Where it really doesn't matter if I fall on my face.

And maybe someday, I'll try it again, but not now and not with this dog.
