Today is Arnold's 3rd birthday! It was on this day 3 years ago that he and I were joined at the hip (literally) and became best pals.

He doesn't look quite this shiny and new anymore. |
Being on the pump has allowed me so much freedom, even though I'm tethered to a machine 24/7. I can coordinate my insulin based on my life, not the other way around. And this birthday is a little sad because this is probably the last one we'll share together (my warranty runs up next year, and there's this strange crack in the screen that worries me). I don't know what I'll do with Arnold next year, but I have a feeling I'll keep him for a little while. He's like my first car, which I had for 9 years before I bought a new one. I'm just a sentimental ole sap, so I'll probably keep him and put him by my bedside table. He's been a great companion and friend.
Happy Birthday, Arnold. Let's go eat some cake!
Arnold: "BOOP-BEEP-BOOP!"
But will you still keep him by the bedside table when Medtronic offers a $250 trade-in?

Congrats on a 3-year birthday of good health management!
Yay! :) Happy b-day Arnold. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nikki: When my 508 was done pumping me up, I traded that thing in like a cash for clunker! PS: I love Arnold's response to you, it's so...what's the word?....pumpalicious!
