I'm stressing a little less

Hey everyone!

I got a little bit of stress off my shoulders, however when one thing starts to work out, something else goes wrong!

TCC worked with me, and I successfully dropped my Spanish class. I was extremely relieved! There won't be an F to ruin my GPA. That got worked out, but now I'm having issues with my endocrinologist's office.

Here's the situation:
When I was under Cook Children's care, I would get fifteen bottles of insulin for a three month supply. That left more than enough room for error (if a bottle went bad, insulin pump screwed up, etc). After I left Cook's, I went to Dr. Lakken. His office decided that nine bottles would be enough for a three month supply...okay, fine. It cut me extremely close, but I worked with it.
NOW they're only prescribing me six bottles! I use a bottle a week!
Dad called the office this morning, and was trying to explain to them that six bottles for a three month supply was not going to cut it! However, the lady he spoke to somehow insinuated that having more than that is considered fraud. How I'm not sure.
They are prescribing me insulin based off of my basal rates.
PAUSE!
You're probably thinking: "What the heck is a basal rate?!"
A basal rate is the amount of insulin I get continually throughout the day from my pump. Think of it as an outer pancreas.
Also, for future reference: a bolus rate is the amount of insulin I take for each meal I eat.
RESUME!
Dr. Lakken's office isn't considering my bolus rates! SIX bottles for THREE months?! Really?! And they're not going to change this either! I'm looking into finding a new doctor. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope with this one!

I have two tests tomorrow, and I'm going to see NEW MOON Thursday night! Oh my Gosh, it's three days away!

What else, what else....oh! There's going to be a meteor shower tonight! I'll probably wake up around 2:30 to watch it! I'm pretty excited! Out of my all my friends, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who hasn't seen a "shooting star".

I'll update more tomorrow after my tests!


Later Days!
