Anniversary yesterday

I had a wonderful day yesterday visiting with my in-laws. We had some lovely meals, went to a rummage sale (didn't buy much), talked and laughed. It was also the 5th anniversary of my last shot of insulin. It was 6 units of Lantus - a tiny dose. I was still kind of out of it at that point post surgery, but I do remember the relief and joy of not having any shots at all. It was a wonderful blessing to not have to take shots (or bolus my pump) with every meal and then test later to see if I hit the right dose or not. The lack of surprises in my blood sugar is a truly amazing and relaxing thing. I am so blessed and still think often of my donor and his family.
