Actual conversation between Josh and I last night:
Me: "I need to take a shower and change my set."
Josh: "Is it free shower day*?"
Me: "Nope, sensor's staying put. So it's only half free."
About 30 seconds pass...
Me: "This shower is 50% off!!!!"
I laugh hysterically and Josh slowly shakes his head.
Josh: "You need to tweet that."

A shower free from one of these! |
Josh, I see your tweet and raise you a blog post! Ha!
We're no Jenny and Victor (warning: this link is kinda inappropriate but highly hilarious!), but we have fun.
*From the Diabetes Terms of Endearment: "Free Shower Day: Taking a shower on the day that your infusion set and/or CGM sensor are being swapped out, leaving your skin site-free."
Actually, the Sure-T has two patches, so it's more like 67% off! (I see you also change your set at night against recommended practice. A Rebel like me!)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems I hardly ever get a free shower day. I need to coordinate it all, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME, Jess!!! OMG. I darn near fell out of my chair and spilled my glass of wine... which probably explains a lot right there. But anyhoo. Josh rules! As if I needed to tell you that. Great conversation, great tweet, great blog post.
ReplyDeleteI love those days when the planets align just right and you can take a free shower! :D
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of you and Josh being the Jenny and Victor of the DOC... minus the taxidermy, of course.
ReplyDeleteI was talking with a group of fellow T1s about site changes, free showers, etc, when one of them said, "Sometimes I just like to look at myself in the mirror without all that stuff attached." That's really what it's about, isn't it?
