On the road with diabetes

well, we are now in our 4th day of this adventure and I must say...what a trip!!

First night in our tiny travel trailer it was 9 degrees outside!  Second night we joined up with my sis and her hubby was so much help!  But we boondocked for the next 2 nights.  Charged the batteries during the day with a generator in order to run his c-pap machine at night.

I have not slept in the same room with him in years and here we are inside a 17’ x 8’ trailer!!!  Who is going to kill who first???  LOL!!

Tonight we are at an RV resort in Yuma AZ.  Gorgeous property.  We have the tiniest trailer nestled between huge RVs.  Interesting experience.

First night out, he forgot to take his evening meds.  He went to the bathroom 12 times that night.
He has had numerous melt downs, I just walk away.  He twisted his knee real bad.  I offered to find an ER.  He said no.  I said I didn’t want to hear about his knee.

Our biggest fights have been over the pups.  He doesn’t want to walk them or keep them on a leash.  I told him that he does, or we get rid of them.  So far, doing better.

I love driving, watching the scenery, seeing the road go past us.  My brother in law has lung cancer.  He has a 5 year death penalty.  My sis is thrilled to have us here.  We have already spent way too much time together.  She is obsessed with getting 10,000steps in a day.  I’ve kept up for 2days now, but my legs are aching bad tonight and I just want to tell her I need tomorrow off.  Sure hoping I wake up ready to go.

If nothing else, I think this tripmight get him on some kind of regular schedule.  At least I hope it does.

And being with my sis....who faces certain widowhood, makes me appreciate my life a bit more.

There is always someone out there who has it a little worse than you.  Just find them.  I promise it will help you more than you know.
